Durable safety footwear from uvex

As the weather turns wetter and colder, it’s important for those working outside to look after their feet with appropriate footwear. The combination of bad weather, uneven terrain and being on your feet all day means that only a hard-wearing boot that delivers uncompromising levels of safety and comfort will do.

Safety footwear for working outdoors

Winter brings harsh weather conditions that can pose significant risks to workers in outdoor environments. To ensure safety and comfort, it's crucial to invest in reliable safety footwear designed to withstand the elements. When selecting winter safety boots, look for features that provide protection against cold, wet, and slippery conditions. Essential safety features include:

Waterproof construction: Ensure the boots are waterproof to keep moisture out and your feet dry.

Slip-resistant soles: Choose boots with deep tread patterns to provide excellent traction on slippery surfaces.

Ankle support: Opt for boots with good ankle support to prevent injuries from twists and falls.


Navigating the new standard: EN ISO 20345:2022

Protecting your feet in the harshest weather is essential for maintaining safety and comfort. It’s also important to stay informed about the latest standards. This includes the recently updated safety footwear standard EN ISO 20345:2022 that brings in new requirements and protection levels that you need to be aware of when making your selection, now and in the future. To make it easier for you to select the best footwear for the season, we have highlighted some of our key winter-ready styles and outlined the main EN ISO 20345:2022 changes to keep you informed.
