Special footwear in Kiev

Shop of high-quality professional safety footwear in Kiev

Safety shoes are specialized professional footwear, the main function of which is to provide effective safety and comfort during the working process.

What you should pay attention to when choosing safety shoes:

• Base material.
• Outsole material.
• Accessories used.
• Protective elements.
• Protective properties.

You can buy safety footwear in Kiev in the online store "Sever-Spetsodezhda"

Security elements and properties are important security attributes. It is also worth noting that safety footwear has a certain protection class. The protection class depends on the presence (or absence) of certain protective elements and properties.

Let's consider in more detail the protective properties of safety shoes:

Absorption of shocks in the heel (shock absorber) - reduces the shock load on the feet with a force of up to 20 J.

Resistance of the sole to petroleum products, oils - work shoes do not lose their characteristics when interacting with gasoline, oil, petroleum oils, fats.

Anti-slip outsole - protects against slippery substances (grease, oil) and slipping on icy surfaces. Shoes are equipped with a special anti-slip tread or rubber with varying degrees of rigidity is used in one sole.

Water-resistant impregnation of the base material - a protective film forms on the outer layer of work shoes, which protects the shoes from getting wet.

Waterproof base material - a material that is water-repellent.

Resistant to high temperatures - protects feet from scale, sparks and molten metal splashes. Contact with heated surfaces over 45 ° C is allowed.

Antistatic - protects the foot from static discharges. Shoes are made from dielectric materials that prevent the accumulation of charge by pushing it into the ground.

Work shoes are your safety

What are the protective elements in safety shoes? Let's consider each in detail:

Anti-puncture insole - acts as a barrier, located between the inner layer of the shoe and the lining. Provides protection for legs from cuts and punctures up to 1200 N.

Anti-puncture insoles are divided into:

• Metal - provide good protection against punctures, have a small thickness, cover up to 80% of the foot, and have high thermal conductivity.
• Non-metallic - safe, made of waterproof textile material, anti-magnetic, flexible, cover 100% of the soles, provide cold / thermal insulation.

Reflective inserts - increase visibility at night and in poorly lit areas.

Rubberized toe cap - Provides additional protection against abrasion.

Metal toe cap is an insert that is located in the bow section between the top and the lining.

This diarrhea can withstand a load of up to 200 J and a shock of up to 15 kN. Under an impact load of up to 200 J, the toe cap is not deformed, over 200 J is crumpled, and can injure the leg.

The metal toe cap is thinner and takes up less space on the inside than the composite one.

The metal toe cap can be made of steel or aluminum, depending on specific conditions and applications.

Composite toe cap is a more modern element of protection compared to metal toe cap.

Typically, a composite toe cap is made of fiberglass, carbon fiber, and plastic. Reinforced kevlar threads are also added to increase strength.

At impact loads above 200 J, the toe cap breaks up into small fragments and does not entail a high risk of injury.

This material has a lighter weight, thereby reducing the load on the legs and making the work more comfortable.

Also, to the merits, you can add absolute resistance to corrosion, low thermal conductivity, can be used at any temperature conditions.

The disadvantages include the large thickness of the walls, due to which the toe takes up a lot of space inside the shoe.

Compared to the steel insert, the composite insert is more expensive.
