Safety Sandals and Clogs

Safety clogs and sandals

In hot departments and in the summer months, a closed shoe can be hard to keep on for a whole shift. Safety sandals and clogs keep the EN ISO 20345 safety toe cap and offer more ventilation, as long as the environment has no water, splashes or uneven ground.

Classes available

• SB: basic requirements with toe cap; on clogs it is often accompanied by the codes A (antistatic) and E (heel energy absorption).
• S1: closed heel, antistatic and energy absorption.
• S1P: as S1, with the addition of an anti-penetration midsole.

ESD sandals and clogs

More than half of the models are certified to EN 61340-5-1 for use in electrostatic protected areas, such as electronics assembly lines and laboratories. Steel or composite toe caps are available, with lace, hook-and-loop or slip-on fastening, and perforated clogs for maximum breathability.

Where to use them and where not

They are suited to light logistics, assembly, laboratories and dry indoor departments. Where there are liquids, nails or a risk of twisted ankles, closed shoes are needed: see safety shoes. To improve comfort there are gel and cushioned insoles; the full range is in work footwear.
