In many areas, it is absolutely necessary to wear safety shoes with a protective cap and a penetration-resistant midsole. These safety shoes of protection class S1P or S3 protect against falling objects and sharp objects lying on the ground. In the past, these safety shoes were very heavy and clumsy due to the materials used, such as the steel cap and the steel sole.
The development of recent years has not only led to safety shoes becoming more and more visually appealing. Work shoes of different protection classes have become lighter and more comfortable, so that the already difficult workday can be made as light-footed as possible.
The brand manufacturer Lemaitre has used high-quality safety elements in their SPORTY light series for optimal wearing comfort. Our three tips for mastering everyday work with ease are combined in these safety shoes and we are happy to explain them using the example of the Joey S3 safety shoe model.
Tip 1 – light protective cap and metal-free and flexible penetration-resistant midsole
The Joey S3 safety shoe is equipped with a high-quality fiberglass toe cap. This fiberglass protective cap is significantly lighter than an "old-fashioned" steel protective cap, but naturally offers the same protection.
To protect the foot from sharp objects lying around, the Joey S3 safety sneaker has been equipped with a metal-free "Fibre-LS" midsole. This penetration-resistant midsole weighs less than a conventional steel midsole, but still protects the foot optimally.
Tip 2 – high-quality and lightweight outsole
Safety shoes should not only protect, but also look good. Modern safety shoes are therefore often made in a sporty sneaker look. The S3 sneaker Joey was specially developed for indoor use and equipped with a soft and light EVA/rubber nitrile sole, which is particularly suitable for long periods of use on hard surfaces. Thanks to the wonderful fit, you can hardly feel the shoe on your foot.
Tip 3 – modern upper material
In the past, safety shoes were made of thick cowhide leather. With modernization, lighter and more modern materials have found their way into personal protective equipment, which characterize today's lightweight safety shoes. The Joey S3 safety sneaker was also made from a combination of lightweight upper materials that ensure optimal comfort. The water-repellent suede leather is perfectly complemented by the water-repellent textile material. The comfortable and breathable, three-dimensional and microporous textile lining also ensures a pleasant climate even on long working days.
With these three tips, safe "lightweights" are guaranteed – with only 450 g per shoe in the Joey S3 model – with absolute freedom from metal!
