Types of safety shoes and how they differ
- Steel toe leather safety shoes: the everyday workhorse, low or high ankle, from Allen Cooper, Kavacha, Jama, Zain, Hillson, Acme, Karam and Raga. Many Jama and Zain models carry a 200 J steel toe cap (maker's rating).
- Metal-free (composite toe) safety shoes: Allen Cooper AC 1581, AC 1582 and AC 1633, Udyogi Elect EX MF, Hillson MF01, Zain Boston and Pitbull, Karam FS71 and Acme Neutron. They are lighter and suit electronics plants, airports and sites with metal detectors.
- Sporty safety shoes: suede, mesh and knitted uppers that look like trainers, such as Kavacha knitted shoes, Karam Flytex, Allen Cooper sporty models, Zain Blade and Luxor, Acme Reflex and Volant, and Raga Aurus.
- Electrical safety shoes: Allen Cooper AC 1266, AC 1427 and AC 1434, Zain ZM Bolt and ZM-18, with an electrical shock resistant sole (maker's rating).
- Heat resistant safety shoes: nitrile rubber soles for hot floors, such as Allen Cooper AC 1425 and AC 1426 (rated by the maker for brief contact up to 300°C), and Zain JET, Volcano and ZM-10.
- Washable and slip-on shoes: Allen Cooper AC 1697 and ACM 1699 microfibre shoes and the white Zain ZM-39 for food and pharma, and Kavacha S62, S67 and S68 laceless shoes.
- Ladies safety shoes: Allen Cooper AC 1197 and AC 1299, Kavacha S127 to S134 and S95 (sizes 3 to 7), Karam FS100 and the Raga Pearl.
How to choose safety shoes
- Toe cap: steel is the common, lower cost choice; composite, fibre or FRP toes are metal-free and lighter.
- Sole: single density PU is light; double density (DD) PU adds a softer inner layer for long shifts; nitrile rubber suits heat and oil; TPR, airmix and PVC soles keep the cost low.
- Ankle height: low ankle for factories and warehouses; high ankle for construction, mining and uneven ground.
- Upper: leather for heavy work, suede or knit for comfort, microfibre where shoes are washed often.
- Size: sizes vary by brand (for example Karam 4 to 13). Collect each worker's size before ordering.
