Who makes the best slip-resistant work shoes?

Slip Resistant Work Shoes

Many safety statistics indicate that one of the most common injury claims is from slipping, tripping or falling at the workplace. Not only do these accidents result in injuries to the employee but they can lead to expensive downtime or potential lawsuits against the employer. Slip-resistant work shoes help reduce this risk by providing superior grip and traction on wet or oily surfaces. For example, many employers in the hospitality industry and the healthcare industries require all employees to wear a slip-resistant work shoe that meets OSHA standards for safety.

Top Slip Resistant Work Shoe Manufacturers

All companies that manufacture slip resistant footwear do not produce the same quality of slip-resistant footwear used in the occupational setting, so we've provided you with a description of quality manufacturers to guide your decision-making process:

Skechers Work Shoes

Skechers is known for making fashionable and comfortable footwear. Skechers Work shoe line provides slip-resistant work shoes designed specifically for work use. Features include comfortable memory foam insoles and durable slip-resistant outsoles for all-day comfort and performance.

Crocs Work Shoes

Crocs Work shoes are light and easy to keep clean; therefore, they are particularly useful for people who work in kitchens and healthcare-related facilities. To ensure safety on slippery surfaces, the work shoe should have a high level of slip-resistance, as well as features designed for comfort during long hours of use.

Reebok Work

Reebok has created the ultimate combination of stylish athletically designed footwear along with functional working footwear through their collection of Reebok Work Footwear. Many Reebok Work Footwear styles also feature alloy toe caps to make them even more durable, making them the perfect option for construction and industrial jobs.

Not only has Dr. Martens expanded its line of iconic footwear, but now also has an extremely robust line of slip-resistant Safety Footwear. The stylish and functional design of these shoes incorporate steel toe caps, added cushioning, and other features for maximum comfort.

Slip-Resistant Work Shoe Selection

When selecting the right type of slip-resistant Safety Shoes, there are multiple factors to consider:

Work Environment:What type of job do you do? Lightweight, Waterproof Work Shoes are a great choice for kitchen work, while steel toe boots with durable outsoles are more appropriate for construction work.

Slip Resistance Ratings: Identify if your slip-resistant footwear has been tested to any of the ASTM slip resistant tests (F2913) and SATRA (TM144) and the results of those tests. The higher the rating of the shoes from those tests, the greater the slip resistant properties.

Comfort: Since you will most likely be on your feet for long periods of time, look for a work shoe that offers cushioned insoles, breathable linings, and ergonomically designed footwear to reduce fatigue while at work.

Durability:The materials used in the manufacture of your footwear will impact the durability of your shoes, which affect the long-term value of your footwear; therefore, you should look for quality materials when selecting your slip-resistant Safety Shoes.

Selecting Work Footwear for Spinal Stenosis

Selecting appropriate Work Footwear is especially important for those with spinal stenosis or related back issues. The correct footwear choice will minimize falls, limit awkward movements, and help maintain spinal alignment:

Arch Support: Shoes with strong arch support will properly distribute weight evenly throughout the entire body and lessen strain on the lower back.

Cushioning: Cushioning with sufficient shock absorption allows for comfort over prolonged periods of time with standing and walking.

Wide Toe Box: A shoe with a wide toe box will reduce pressure on the foot and help to prevent aggravating back pain.

Footwear designed with orthopedic concerns in mind, with effective traction and stability, are offered by Skechers, New Balance and Orthofeet.

Extending the Life of Slip-Resistant Work Shoes

Apply the following tips to help extend the life of your slip-resistant work shoes:

Keep Them Clean: Keep outsoles as clean as possible by regularly removing dirt and other debris from them to maintain their slip-resistant properties.

No Excessive Wear: The more usage a single pair of work shoes receives, the more uneven wear occurs. By rotating work shoes regularly, you will help maintain their useful life longer.

Check for Damage: Make sure you frequently evaluate your footwear for signs of wear. If the outside of the shoe appears damaged, change out your shoes immediately.

Conclusion

Wearing the appropriate slip-resistant footwear for your occupation provides safety against on the job accidents, while providing you with the comfort you need for working for extended periods of time. Major slip-resistant footwear manufacturers, such as Skechers, Crocs, Reebok, KEEN and Dr. Martens, provide excellent choices for a variety of occupations. If you have any spinal injury, such as spinal stenosis, you should look for footwear that provides good arch support, cushioning, and overall stability when selecting footwear. Invest in quality slip-resistant footwear and take care of them in order to achieve safety, durability, and comfort no matter where you work.
