Foot protection designed for the food industry

uvex safety footwear is designed to provide dependable protection, lasting comfort and secure footing across a wide range of food and beverage industry applications. The range includes lightweight safety shoes and boots suitable for food processing, manufacturing, packaging, warehousing and distribution environments, where safety, hygiene and wearer comfort are essential.

Advanced sole technologies provide excellent slip resistance on wet, greasy and contaminated surfaces commonly encountered in food and beverage environments, while ergonomic designs help reduce fatigue during long shifts. With easy-clean materials, metal-free constructions, ladder-grip options for engineering and maintenance teams, and styles suitable for hygiene-sensitive areas, uvex footwear supports safety, compliance and productivity across the entire operation.

Protection starts with the right fit

Comfort, safety and wellbeing start with the right fit. Poorly fitted safety footwear can cause discomfort, reduce productivity and increase the risk of slips, trips and falls. The best footwear combines supple materials for freedom of movement with all-day comfort, whether walking, kneeling or standing. Ergonomic designs and adaptive fit insoles allow a customised fit, helping maintain concentration and reduce fatigue.

Men and women have different anatomical needs, so simply scaling down a male boot or shoe is not enough for female employees. Our footwear range is engineered for these differences using different lasts to mimic the controls of the feet, offering solutions that deliver protection and comfort across for all employees.

Customised footwear options

uvex tune up insoles

Walking or standing on hard and flat surfaces can put strain and pressure on the arches of our feet. Arch pain is generally caused by the pronation of our feet. Pronation relates to the rolling motion of the foot as we walk or run. If you over-pronate or under-pronate pressure and forces can become unevenly distributed causing pains in the arch of the foot. Insoles that effectively support the arches of the feet can help ease discomfort by distributing the body weight evenly.

uvex tune-up arch support insoles provide support and comfort to the arch of the foot. They can help realign the natural position of the foot helping to lower foot pain, back and knee pain and also help avoid fallen arches.

uvex multiple width fitting system

Because no two feet are the same, customised width insoles help ensure safety footwear fits correctly by accommodating narrow, standard, wide and extra-wide foot shapes, reducing pressure points, improving comfort during long periods of standing or walking, and helping to minimise fatigue and musculoskeletal discomfort.

uvex multiple fit system insoles are available in a choice of width options (from narrow to extra wide), allowing wearers to adjust the internal dimensions of their safety footwear for a more personalised fit, while benefiting from full-surface shock absorption, and improved all-day comfort. Ultra breathable materials allow effective removal of sweat and moisture. Antistatic properties also reduce the risk of electrostatic shocks.
