Choose by the Complete Specification

Read the model’s safety classification and any additional markings, including toe, underfoot and sole properties. Do not assume that every shoe protects against the same hazards or that a shared brand name means identical performance.

Fit, Cleaning and Daily Checks

Use the size guide and consider the socks normally worn. Inspect the outsole for wear and trapped debris, and check the upper and closure for damage. Follow the manufacturer’s care guidance and replace footwear when its condition affects its suitability.
