Depending on the weather conditions, the risks and the type of work for which they are designed, we offer low and high capped work shoes and non-capped work shoes.
In a lifetime, the average person walks the equivalent of four times around the world. The feet support the whole body and carry heavy loads, so choosing the right footwear is crucial for a smooth working process. The correct choice of occupational footwear prevents injuries caused by:
– MECHANICAL INFLUENCES: punctures, falling objects, impacts, etc.
– ELECTRICAL INFLUENCES: electric shocks, contact with live objects, sparks, etc.
– CHEMICAL INFLUENCES: oils, grease, acids, etc.
– HEAT INFLUENCES: frostbites, burns, weather conditions, etc.
– WALKING ACCIDENTS: slips, falls, sprains, etc.
Feet protection is of paramount importance in preventing or minimizing accidents at work. In this category you will find work and protective footwear that is manufactured in accordance with European and ISO standards.
Welcome to our extensive category of "Work shoes", where you will find a wide selection of low and high work shoes with various types of protection designed to prevent foot injuries. At Pharsol Protect, we understand the importance of providing proper protection for your feet during work, which is why we offer high-quality work boots with different safety features.
Our collection of work shoes includes low models suitable for various industries and work environments. These shoes are designed to provide comfort and freedom of movement while ensuring reliable protection. For example, our low work shoes are lightweight, flexible, and allow natural foot movement, which is crucial for tasks that require high levels of mobility. Additionally, they are equipped with safety features such as toe protection, slip-resistant outsoles, and impact resistance.
In addition to low work shoes, we also offer high models that provide additional ankle and lower leg protection. High work shoes are an excellent choice for work environments where there is a higher risk of ankle injuries, such as construction sites or industrial operations. Our high work shoes are made from durable materials and equipped with additional reinforcement in critical areas, providing protection against impacts, punctures, and other hazards.
We also offer work shoes with different types of protection tailored to specific needs and hazards of work environments. For example, our collection of work shoes includes models with steel toe caps that protect toes from heavy object impact. For those working in environments with electrical hazards, we have work shoes with electrical protection, which prevents the transfer of electrical current through the shoes and protects against electrical shocks. We also offer work boots with slip-resistant outsoles that provide grip on various surfaces, including wet or slippery floors.
To ensure the highest level of safety and comfort, we have taken care of the details in the design of our work shoes. Our shoes are equipped with comfortable cushioning and breathable materials that allow air circulation and prevent unpleasant odors. Additionally, some models have additional heel and ankle protection for greater stability and reduced risk of sprains.
We understand that appearance is just as important as safety, which is why we have ensured that our work shoes look modern and appealing.

How to Choose the Right Work Shoes?
Work Shoes Without Toe Caps
Work shoes without toe caps are suitable for work where there is a low risk of mechanical impact injuries. They are marked with the EN ISO 20347 standard, which defines the basic markings: OB, O1, O2, and O3.
Work shoes marked OB are antistatic, oil- and fuel-resistant, absorb shock in the heel area, and are slip-resistant. They can also have an open heel.
Work shoes marked O1 have the same properties as OB and have a closed heel.
Work shoes marked O2 have the same properties as O1 and do not allow water to penetrate for at least 60 minutes.
Work shoes marked O3 are plastic or rubber boots for wet areas, so that water cannot penetrate the shoe and have a closed heel. Examples include the Maestral low-cut work shoes.
Work Shoes with Toe Caps
Work shoes with toe caps are marked with the EN ISO 20345 standard, which defines the basic markings: S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5.
Work shoes marked S1 have a toe cap (SB), an oil- and fuel-resistant sole (FO), are antistatic (A), and absorb shock in the heel area (E).
Work shoes marked S2 have the same features as S1, but they also allow water to penetrate and absorb moisture (WRU).
Work shoes marked S3 have the same features as S2, but they also have a puncture-resistant insole, which makes the work shoes puncture-resistant (P).
Work shoes marked S4 are protective work boots.
Protective work boots marked S4 have the same features as work shoes marked S2, which means that they are protective boots with a toe cap.
Protective boots marked S5 have the same protective properties as work shoes marked S3, which means that they have a toe cap and a puncture-resistant sole insert. Work shoes with a toe cap reliably protect the foot from pressure and impacts of up to 200 joules of energy and have the EN ISO 20345 standard.
They are used where there is a risk of injury from falling heavy objects, impact, or sharp objects. Both standards have in common that the shoes are antistatic, oil- and fuel-resistant, and absorb shock in the heel area.
