If 7% of work accidents directly affect the foot, it should be noted that the majority of these accidents are due to poor protection. Indeed, you can avoid unnecessary injuries while performing your work, provided you wear the appropriate safety equipment.

Depending on the profession, marking indices are attached to each shoe, depending on the types of protection fitted to it. The least equipped models are those of class O. These work shoes do not include any particular protection against shocks, but are nevertheless non-slip. These are the types of protection used in medical centers or in the kitchen, among others.

Special ankle protection for high/high shoes

In some workplaces, slippery ground or debris on the floor can easily cause a fall or lead to an injury, most commonly in the ankle area. This part of the foot is really very fragile. To provide better ankle and calf protection, researchers came up with the idea of ​​designing high-top safety shoes, which will limit the risk of foot injuries.

High-top safety shoes have a high upper, usually made of leather or canvas synthetic. Compared to low shoes, these go up until they completely cover the calf. The high upper keeps the ankle firmly in place, even when you're on the go. Thus, the shoes protect you from the risk of sprains, by offering optimal protection of the malleolus and metatarsus. You will also be able to avoid further cuts or injuries to the ankle area.

They cover a larger area that will be protected from dirt from the outside, such as potential chemicals or harmful materials in a workplace. To work in a wet area, high safety shoes are also safer. Usually lined with leather, they are all the more comfortable on a construction site, in very cold weather.

Lightweight high-top professional safety shoe: essential for construction/construction trades

In some trades, high-top safety shoes are required. This is the case in construction sites for public works, where high boots are recommended, especially models with full gusset. In addition to protecting the ankle, these shoes are best equipped to keep water out. This is an essential precaution as the conditions on construction sites are often harsh with humidity and mud, among other elements, exposing the worker to all kinds of potential dangers.

Although they are heavier and less comfortable, high safety shoes are safer and better suited to hygiene on construction sites. To work outdoors, these high shoes are really essential, it goes without saying. On the other hand, to drive machinery, or to work indoors, workers can afford models with low uppers, for more comfort and maneuverability, to also be faster knowing that these shoes are lighter.
