Do You Know What Safety Shoes Are Made Of?

Let's talk about safety shoes today.

Do you see the picture below? It shows a man wearing a pair of safety shoes and putting his foot on a sharp spike and a hammer on the front part of the shoe. This is a pair of smash and puncture resistant safety shoes from Kameymall. Do you know much about safety shoes? Today, I'm going to give you a basic overview of safety shoes. Let's talk about the materials used in safety shoes.

PVC

Most safety shoes on the market are made of PVC, or polyvinyl chloride. PCV is characterised by being soft, flexible, feels more comfortable to wear and is also very cheap. However, PCV is not without its drawbacks: because of the material, it can give off a foul smell after a long time or after being immersed in water. Some may have added other ingredients to make them cheaper, resulting in a rather foul smell when you buy them. If they are not cleaned properly and fungal sweat and other substances from the feet are fermented inside the safety shoes, the stench is even more unbearable. However, if they are cleaned properly, they are usually fine.

EVA

Another commonly used material is EVA, or ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. Compared to PVC safety shoes, EVA safety shoes are lighter, stronger, mainly wear-resistant and non-slip, and may not be as soft as PVC safety shoes, but the comfort level is also very good.

Rubber

Rubber safety shoes may be softer than PVC safety shoes, but will be slightly less abrasion resistant and generally not very slip resistant.

Plant Fibre

Another type of safety shoe that fewer people may have heard of is linen safety shoes, which are made from plant fibres. In summer, linen safety shoes are definitely the first choice: they absorb air and breath well, absorb sweat, dissipate heat quickly and so on. For people with sweaty feet or problems such as foot odour, smelly feet or fungus on the feet, they are a boon. But linen safety shoes are not without their drawbacks: they are not good in water, and are prone to break down when exposed to water for a long time.
