We often see that employees are not protected in a way that fits with their work activities. For dry indoor duties, that require a lot of walking, a well-breathing, light-weight shoe is usually the best option. You could, for instance, choose from an S1 or S1P-shoe. If you are working outdoors all day and, in addition to good protection, you also want to keep your feet dry, in which case an S3-shoe or an S4, S5-boot is the most obvious.
The protection class is indicated with a S-standardisation, in accordance with the following classification:
