Work Shoes and Safety Footwear — Safety and Comfort with Almont.lv

Work shoes are an essential part of any workplace safety equipment. They protect against injuries, provide stability, and ensure comfort throughout the workday. Almont offers a wide range of work and safety footwear for various industries — from construction to food production, from warehouses to offices.

Work Shoe Safety Classes

Work shoes are certified according to the EN ISO 20345 standard and are divided into the following safety classes:

• SB (Safety Basic) – basic protection with a toe cap (up to 200 J).

• S1 – antistatic properties, heel energy absorption, oil-resistant sole.

• S1P – additional puncture resistance.

• S2 – water-repellent upper material, suitable for wet environments.

• S3 – full protection against punctures, water, and slipping.

• S4 / S5 – rubber or polymer boots with waterproofing and reinforced soles.

These classes help you choose the safety footwear best suited for your specific work environment.

Which Jobs Require Safety Footwear?

Work shoes are necessary in many professions:

• Construction and road work – S3 footwear with enhanced protection and waterproofing

• Manufacturing, metalworking, logistics – footwear with impact-resistant toe caps and oil-resistant soles

• Warehousing and cargo transport – slip-resistant, antistatic soles for smooth surfaces

• Food industry and healthcare – washable, hygienic footwear with non-slip soles

• Agriculture and forestry – waterproof, mud-resistant footwear with reinforced soles

Latest Trends in Work Footwear: Comfort, Lightness, and the BOA System

Today’s work shoes offer not only protection but also comfort and style. Manufacturers use the latest technologies to ensure lightweight construction, breathable materials, and ergonomic soles.

The BOA fastening system is becoming increasingly popular — it replaces traditional laces with a metal or nylon cable and an adjustable dial. With a single twist, you can tighten or loosen the shoes, ensuring a precise fit and all-day comfort.

Other modern features include:

• Composite toe caps – lighter, non-magnetic, and non-conductive.

• Cushioned insoles with air circulation.

• Sport-style work shoes that look like everyday sneakers but offer full protection.

How to Choose the Right Work Shoes?

When selecting safety footwear, pay attention to:

• Work environment – dry, wet, hot, or cold conditions

• Safety class – according to your profession and workplace risks

• Comfort – lightweight, cushioned, and breathable materials

• Sole properties – slip-resistant, antistatic, or puncture-resistant
