Safety shoes

On this page, you'll find a good selection of safety shoes suitable for different work environments and tasks.  

Why good safety shoes are mandatory 

Safety shoes are essential to protect your feet from injury in many professions where the risk of accidents is high. They are necessary in construction, logistics, warehouse work and more, where heavy objects can fall and you often move on uneven or slippery surfaces.  

Safety shoes are designed to protect against crushing and chemical spills, minimizing the risk of serious foot injury. By wearing safety shoes, workers can prevent long-term injuries and maintain an ideal working environment while adhering to workplace safety standards.  

Safety shoes are required by the Labor Inspectorate if the work in question cannot be performed safely with regular shoes. In addition, the employer has a duty to provide safety shoes to the employee.

Safety shoes with full protection 

All our shoes are made from durable materials with safety at the forefront. Of course, there will be some safety shoes that are better suited to your work tasks. You can read more about this below, and if you have any questions, you can always contact us by phone or email.  

The most important thing about your safety shoes is that they protect your feet in dangerous situations. All our shoes fulfill the safety requirements set by the industry.  

Our shoes are divided into EU safety classes: S1P and S3. Both safety classes have many overlapping features, but they are suitable for different work environments. Below is an overview of what the safety classes guarantee. 

Safety class S1P 

Safety shoes with safety class S1P guarantee full safety, which includes:  

• Seam protection 

• Toe cap 

• Slip resistance/protection 

• Oiled outsole 

• Shock absorbing 

• Antistatic 

• Breathability 

• Water repellency 

Although our S1P safety shoes are not 100% water-repellent, they are more water-repellent than normal shoes. The shoes can keep the rain out for up to 90 minutes, which is why they are frequently used by people who work outside for periods during the day.  

Safety class S1 and S3 

All our safety shoes protect you from slippery surfaces, chemicals, hard impacts, nails, and much more. However, one area where safety class S1 and S3 differ is in relation to wind and weather. Our S3 safety shoes are ideal if you work outside most of the year and need a shoe that can keep out the rain. 

If you work outside during the winter, when it can be extra slippery, we also have slip protection. These are rubber spikes that can be placed under your normal safety shoes. The spikes are elastic for temperatures down to minus 40 degrees and provide a solid foundation and anti-slip protection when you go outside in the winter. 

Safety shoes for home projects 

Safety shoes are not just for professionals in the workplace. They are also an excellent investment for the keen DIY enthusiast. Whether you are woodworking, renovating your home, or perhaps building a new patio, a pair of safety shoes can be essential to protect your feet from injury.  

When handling heavy materials, working with sharp tools, or navigating an area with nails and screws on the floor, safety shoes can often be the difference between a productive day and a trip to the emergency room.  

For this reason, it is wise to invest in a pair of safety shoes for all your DIY projects, and they certainly do not have to be expensive. At Biltema, we offer affordable safety shoes so that everyone can participate and be well-protected.  

Which safety shoe is best for my foot? 

Besides the increased safety your shoes provide, it is important to consider the needs of your feet. This applies to the breathability of your foot as well as the protection of your ankles and joints. As mentioned earlier, we have safety shoes that are suitable for different work areas. 

Ordinary safety shoes 

If you mainly work on flat surfaces, such as the floor of a workshop or warehouse, it makes sense to choose a regular safety shoe. However, it really depends on your preferences and what you are used to. Regular shoes can be worn all year round – in summer with thin socks and in winter with warm woolen socks. 

If you choose a safety shoe from Biltema, you will get a shoe that fulfills all your workplace safety requirements. If you need durable laces for your shoes, you will also find them here. You are also welcome to take a look at our work socks, which have both sweat-wicking and antibacterial properties.  

Do you need workwear or other items for work? 

At Biltema, you will not only find a fine selection of safety shoes. We have many more products that can make your working day more comfortable and efficient and take your home projects to the next level. Our workwear includes everything from durable work trousers and t-shirts to practical work jackets, designed to keep you protected and comfortable, whatever the working conditions.  

For those looking for special protection against aerosols and dust, we also offer protective suits. Perhaps you are looking for reflective clothing to ensure you stay visible and safe?  

Or how about knee pads and tool belts? With knee pads, you can keep your knees safe when gardening, cleaning, or renovating, where you can easily end up sitting on your knees for long periods of time. And with a smart tool belt, you can organize your tools and wear them on your body so you always have them close by.  

Whether you are a professional tradesman or an enthusiastic DIYer, Biltema has the products you need to do your work safely and efficiently. Our goal is to offer quality products at affordable prices so that everyone can benefit from the equipment.

FAQs

When should I wear safety shoes?

Safety shoes should be worn in work environments where the feet are at risk of injury from falling objects, sharp objects on the floor, chemical spills, electrical hazards, or where there is a risk of slipping. This includes construction sites, factories, warehouse work, and certain types of manual labor. Missing safety shoes can cost the employer, manager, and employee a fine. 

When should safety shoes be replaced?

Safety shoes should be replaced when they show signs of significant wear, such as damage to the toe cap, worn soles, or when they no longer provide the necessary protection against the risks they are designed to withstand. This can vary depending on the intensity of use, but regular inspection is recommended to ensure continued safety.
