How to make sure breathable work shoes?

Safety shoes are worn for a good part of the day, and often the feet are "constricted" for a long time in a shoe that can be stiff and uncomfortable. The result is that, at the end of the work session, the foot is wet in winter or sweaty and sore in summer with the classic consequences of cramping and swelling.

How to remedy this problem?

In spite of what one might think, to respect the health of the foot, it is not the external materials-acting as a protective barrier-but those inside the shoe that are directly affected, because they come into contact with the foot and have to assist it for so many hours.

In addition, another important term of assessment is the stated seasonality for the shoe being considered. Clearly, we are not going to use a summer work shoe (with the lighter outer fabric) in the winter, but neither should we use a winter safety shoe (with the more insulating outer material) during the summer season. Some shoes, on the other hand, are four-season, using materials that are optimal in both summer and winter.

1. SUMMER BREATHABLE SAFETY SHOES




2. WINTER BREATHABLE WORK SHOES AND 4-SEASON SHOES

In this article, we will help you better interpret the technical data and features related to safety footwear and guide you in choosing the style best suited to your needs.

But first of all, make sure that the shoes you are considering have breathable and absorbent lining and possibly aria channels to improve moisture absorption caused by sweating.

BREATHABLE SUMMER SAFETY SHOES

These are the styles that use a lighter outer lining, still in compliance with current safety laws, capable of providing all the protection you need. Such as:

Gemini - S1P SRC ESD safety rating.

The RED UP range/assortment style ideal for both Lei and Lui with ultra-breathable uppers and soft suede leather.
These safety shoes are equipped with a revolutionary air tunnel lining that ensures high breathability. In fact, its special microcells absorb and disperse moisture to leave the foot dry and ensure prolonged comfort.
In addition, GEMINI features a PU/PU High Rebound intersole made of Basf's Elastopan. A new-generation, extremely lightweight and flexible material that accommodates and supports the entire sole of the foot and ensures more than 40 percent energy return over its entire surface area, both during stance and thrust.

Your energy regenerated and consistently returned to ensure you always have top working performance!

ADVENTURE CARPET - Safety Standard S1P CI SRC ESD

This style has a soft perforated suede upper that ensures coolness through constant aeration of the foot. The breathable Wingtex air tunnel lining and memory foam + gel wrap insole ensure cushioning and proper breathability, all in the comfort of an anatomical, impact-resistant footbed.
But ADVENTURE CARPET is also the right style for those who work long hours on their feet and who, over time, develop fatigue, a sense of fatigue, joint pain, etc. due to static posture.
ADVENTURE CARPET features a revolutionary inner sole withRED CARPET technology that is able to positively affect the body, revitalizing areas under stress.
The secret lies in its core made with an innovative compound from BASF, used for anti-fatigue mats, which is totally free of harmful substances and is able to stimulate and reactivate blood circulation and provide relief to the joints, loins and neck, ensuring high performance in terms of comfort, balance and shock distribution in the work environment.

BREATHABLE WINTER WORK SHOES AND 4-SEASON SHOES

One benefit that can make a difference is the presence of a lining equipped with an antibacterial system that acts as protection against the formation and proliferation of nail fungus (mycosis). You will find this protection in many of our styles, including:

KICK - S3 CI SRC safety rating.

This is the work shoes in S3 CI SRC safety standard.
In addition to the lining with Wingtex System, the inside of the shoe is enriched with a slow-memory Memory footbed whose ventilation holes and channels promote the recirculation of aria.
But that's not enough, because the lining fabric is antibacterial and absorbs sweat, allowing the foot to stay dry at all times.
CI protection provides high insulation from the cold, making this style perfect for the winter season and all outdoor and/or wet environments.
However, the lightness of the footwear is guaranteed thanks to the AirToe Aluminum toe cap that weighs only 54 g.
AirToe, not only meets the need for lightness but also for breathability of safety shoes because the toe cap has asymmetrical holes and a special micropore membrane that allow the elimination of sweat in the form of water vapor, while maintaining all the characteristics of protection and safety.
So: absolute breathability, water proof, protection and safety!

RAPTOR CARPET -Standard Safety S3 SRC ESD

It is the 4-season safety shoe suitable for use in wet environments, transportation and logistics, service and tertiary sectors with uppers made of PUTEK, an innovative highly abrasion-resistant, water-repellent and breathable material.
It is an extremely lightweight work shoes withAirToe Aluminium toe cap that provides foot protection and breathability thanks to its asymmetrical holes and special micropore membrane that allow sweat to be wicked away.
But breathability and long-lasting comfort are also ensured by the Wingtex air tunnel lining and the Memory + Gel inner footbed, which is anti-static and shock-absorbing.
RED CARPET technology , complements the style, providing relief to areas subjected to stress due to standing for long hours in a fixed position.
Constant use of RED CARPET technology brings long-term benefits, revitalizing blood circulation and giving relief to joints, cervical and lumbar areas.
A well-being to be discovered!

In short, whether summer or winter safety shoes, it is important to never give up comfort and protection of foot health. Don't take any chances!
