Getting The Best Safety Sandals For Your Needs
Consider the following points before choosing your safety sandals:
Sandal Design
Each style of sandal will provide ventilation to the foot in different ways, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. First, make sure to choose safety sandals that meet your workplace protection needs, then select a ventilation type based on your preferences. Options include open backed, perforated holes, or open sides for the best air flow.
Blisters, Odours & Comfort
Your comfort is key when choosing footwear for working in hot environments. Look for padded collars, cushioned insoles, and a secure fit to reduce fatigue and prevent blisters. Consider at least wearing low socks to reduce friction and odours during long work days. Opt for breathable fabrics, meshes and moisture wicking materials, and use insoles that handle sweat effectively.
Slip Resistance
Evaluate the level of slip resistance you'll need for your job, especially for indoor environments. Although all safety sandals offer some level of slip resistance, is a simple SR rated work sandal all that is needed, or should this be upgraded to SRA, SRB or SRC? Is additional heat insulation (HI) necessary?
Toe Protection
Steel-toe safety sandals are the traditional toe protection type, providing full toe protection with a heavy-duty steel toe cap. Although often thinner than composite toe caps, steel will make your sandals substantially heavier. For those needing lightweight protection, composite toe caps reduce the sandal's weight without sacrificing strength. They are often thicker, however.
