Working in an area where you are likely to step on live wires requires a measure of protection against current flowing through the sole of your shoe. If safety against electric shock is necessary, when buying a work boot, look for its properties relating to protection against electric hazards with the maximum value of voltage resistance.

Resistance to explosions and flammable materials

women working in careers such as emergency management services or women serving as firefighters will need a heat-resistant boot, especially one with a sole that won't melt if the ground is littered with hot coals or other hot objects.

Women working around potentially explosive materials such as fuel tanks will need anti-static or voltage blocking work boots to avoid causing sparks and the risk of an explosion.

Women's work boots: cut protection

Using saws close to the ground like chainsaws or circular saws increases a risk to your feet if you are wearing a standard work boot. If you regularly handle this type of cutting equipment, it's a good idea to have a pair of cut resistant work boots. This type of safety boot is reinforced with fiber layers cut resistant to prevent accidental foot contact with a common saw.

Protection against molten metal

Work boots that are suitable for trades in molten metalworking such as in a foundry where the metals are in a liquid state must protect the feet in the event that part of the metal molten accidentally falls on the shoe. This type of boot often features a heat resistant shield on the top of the shoe that prevents hot metal from burning off. The safety feature often appears on a boot as MT, which stands for "metatarsal protection".

Puncture resistance

Women who work in carpentry and construction need work boots with reinforced soles that resist punctures in case they step on nails or other sharp objects. This type of shoe may have a thick, hard sole, or it may come with a puncture-resistant midsole that sits between a non-slip outsole and the insole of the shoe.

Resistance to heavy objects

A steel toe is a toe protection against falling of a heavy object on the work boot. Most steel toe boots feature a steel shank that only covers the toes while others feature an elongated shank that also protects the arch of the foot from impact.

Women's professional boots: protection against the cold - Winter

For optimal protection against the cold, work boots should be both insulated and have a water-resistant exterior. The downside of completely waterproof boots is that the feet tend to sweat and the moisture has no place to go. Some winter work boots feature waterproof material on the sides, back, and bottom of the boot, but leave a ventilated panel along the top of the foot, which helps dissipate sweat. There are also lined boots against the cold.

The rain boot can be equipped with a rubber or other non-slip materials to prevent the soles from becoming slippery in wet or icy conditions. In addition, the soles themselves are textured for additional anti-slip protection on ice and compact snow.
