5 Things to Know Before Buying Aircushion Sole Safety Shoes

One of the most common misconceptions about safety shoes is that they are uncomfortable to wear. This may have been true in the past, which is why safety shoe manufacturers have been working on this issue for years, focusing on innovation and research and development of new materials, new technologies and new fits. With this in mind, Parade has developed the NEBRASKA range, specially designed for workers in construction and landscaping. These sectors need a high level of safety to protect users from uneven floors and the risk of banging their feet. At Parade, as well as meeting these high safety standards, we have decided not to overlook comfort. How?

Firstly, by equipping our models with two exclusive Parade technologies: the VPS (suspended arch support), a technology that reduces fatigue in situations that require prolonged standing, and the Flex system, a technology that supports the foot as you walk.

What’s more, the tongue and collar are covered with thick foam and a 3D mesh lining for greater comfort and breathability.

Finally, the 7-hour water-resistant leather keeps your feet dry even during periods of high humidity.

What’s so special about these shoes? A soft insole for all-day comfort.

At first glance, if you compare 2 pairs of safety shoes, you might think that they are relatively similar, but that’s not the case! Comfort, quality of materials, innovation, quality of advice and service - all these factors can make the difference. At Parade Protection, thanks to our 40 years of expertise, we have developed exclusive technologies to make our safety footwear even more comfortable to wear.

What inspires us: the natural shape of the foot, the arch, this architectural whole that cleverly combines all the bone, joint, ligaments and muscles of the foot together.

Why ? Because thanks to its changing curve and its elasticity, the arch adapts to the terrain. It acts as a shock absorber that is essential for flexibility.

It's often said that safety shoes are heavy and therefore cause muscle fatigue at the end of the day. Indeed, basic protective equipment is more difficult to optimise in terms of weight, because to do so requires the use of innovative but often more expensive materials.

From our wide range of lightweight safety shoes, let us introduce you to our SLALUM safety trainers from our SUPERFLEX range. The design, the seamless knitted fabric on the top of the foot and their light weight have made them very popular. Inspired by sport, these safety trainers have everything to eliminate all your preconceptions about safety shoes. Weighing in at just under 550g for a size 42, the SLALUM shoe has what it takes to become your favourite piece of equipment !

This shoe's little extra? Equipped with an EVA sole and rubber half-sole, the SLALUM model is ideal for working comfortably and safely.

For many people, a safety shoe is still a dark, bulky shoe and this was true in the past. We've worked on the aesthetics of our shoes to make them stylish and attractive to wear, because we know that a shoe that appeals to the wearer will be worn more often. Today, safety trainers, safety boots, safety ankle boots and protective clogs in a wide range of colours are all part of the Parade Protection collection !

There are countless misunderstandings about safety shoes, not to mention the misunderstandings about women's protective equipment. In terms of volume, women represent a smaller market than men. This certainly explains why manufacturers don't offer more products specifically designed for women's feet. Do you really think you can't be feminine in safety shoes? We're going to prove you wrong !

With this in mind, we have developed our BRAZILIA range specifically for women's feet. It is important to remember that women's shoes are usually only "small size" versions in terms of shape and pattern. Morphologically speaking, women's feet are slightly narrower than men's. So for maximum comfort, the fit, shape and pattern can't be the same. 

Let's focus on the BRIANA shoe. As well as being 100% designed for women, this model has a chic, feminine style without being flashy! We've added a low 3 cm heel to compensate for the naturally more pronounced arch of a woman's foot and to make it easier to walk, with a wedge shape. Finally, the premium kip leather with iridescent leather detailing and the ergonomic shape of the upper lined with 3D mesh will appeal to women looking for a stylish, comfortable safety shoe.

The little extra? An open-cell polyurethane foam insole for moisture control and maximum comfort, even over long distances.

Safety shoes are essential protective footwear designed to provide safety and comfort in various work environments. They are equipped with features such as reinforced toe caps to protect against impact and compression, slip-resistant soles for improved traction, and electrical hazard protection to prevent shocks. Safety shoes are commonly used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and healthcare to reduce the risk of foot injuries and ensure workplace safety compliance. To comply with federal regulations enforced by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), protective footwear is often a requirement for workers in industrial settings.

When considering the type of safety shoes you need for the job, it is important to look at the hazards that may be present at your worksite. If your workplace has any of the following hazards, then you will need to require protective footwear:

• Electrical hazards
• Hot substances and/or corrosive or poisonous chemicals
• Hot, wet, or slippery surfaces
• Heavy objects, such as barrels or drums, that could roll and/or fall onto feet
• Sharp objects, such as nails or glass, that could puncture the foot
• Molten metal that could splash onto feet or legs
• Static electricity that could cause an explosion

Here are some other questions to consider when looking for the correct safety shoe:

• Will your employees be on their feet for long periods of time? A cushioned insole or midsole will help absorb shock to provide support and prevent foot pain and back aches.

• Will your employees be working in cold conditions? Insulated work boots are a must if you work outside or are exposed to other cold conditions.

• What width will you need? Safety shoes come in various widths to accommodate different foot sizes and shapes, ranging from narrow to extra wide options. Proper shoe width is crucial to prevent discomfort, blisters, and potential foot injuries, making it important to select the right width for optimal safety and comfort.

To be considered protective footwear, a shoe must meet the guidelines set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The ASTM F, Standard Specification for Performance Requirements for Protective (Safety) Toe Cap Footwear, sets the minimum standards and testing procedures for safety footwear.

Safety footwear does not need to meet all the below requirements to conform to the ASTM F standard. However, it should clearly state which of the requirements the footwear meets. Here are some protective footwear codes and what rating they stand for:

• M: male
• F: female
• I/75: impact protection rating
• C/75: compression protection rating
• Mt/75: metatarsal protection rating
• CD: conductive protection
• EH: electrical hazard resistance
• PR: puncture-resistant
• SD: static dissipative
• WR: water-resistant

How to Read an ASTM-Certified Product's Designation

Let's break down the following shoe safety rating by looking at its codes.

1. ASTM F-11: The first line identifies that the shoe complies with the ASTM F standard that was issued in .

2. M I/75 C/75: In the second line, the M indicates that this is a men's shoe. The I/75 and C/75 ratings denote that the footwear meets Class 75 impact and compression resistance, which means the shoe will protect the user from an impact of up to 75 ft-lb. and compressive loads of 2,500 lb.

3. EH: The EH rating lets you know that this shoe provides electrical shock resistance protection.
