For the last few decades, improving health and safety standards has been a top priority in the workplace. Slips, trips and falls are some of the most common causes of injuries, especially in industries like logistics and courier services with drivers who encounter wet and slippery surfaces. Slip-resistant footwear is designed with special outsoles that maximise traction on a variety of different surfaces, both indoors and out. Slip-on safety shoes offer the best of both worlds – protection and comfort.
Here are a few key reasons to choose slip-on footwear:
- Incredibly convenient and quick and easy to slip on
- No laces to fuss with or worry about them coming undone
- Perfect for busy environments in the fast-paced world of deliveries
- Allows for quick transitions to keep your workers comfortable
- Slip-on design can reduce pressure points
- No need for constant readjustment
If you are looking to refresh or replace your team’s current footwear, at Shoes For Crews we have a variety of different, stylish slip-on safety shoes to choose from. Keep reading to learn more about our best slip-on styles.
1. Catania
Available in black and white, the Catania slip-on safety shoe is water and oil resistant and has a wider fit. This style is the definition of comfort and safety, designed to protect and support its wearers to help them perform their toughest tasks. One of our many metal-free styles, it offers superior protection without the extra weight. Its composite toe caps are lightweight, safeguarding against possible dropped crates or packages on the job. Its durable materials make it suitable for a wide range of working environments. With its puncture resistant and slip-resistant outsole, your employees can walk with confidence, protected from slips and falls as well as glass or other sharp objects they may encounter on the footpath. Weighing just 560g in a size 42, this lightweight shoe is an excellent choice for your delivery or postal workers.
2. Inny
The Inny style is a low-heeled, slip-on safety shoe in an easy-care white leather-like boot. It is waterproof and has a recycled microfibre upper. Providing your employees with an option that offers extra cushioning and an energy-absorbing heel can help to prevent muscle fatigue after a long day both on the road and on their feet. Reducing the risk of foot fatigue and typical discomfort, this style adds extra support where it counts.
Designed for demanding work environments, this slip-on safety shoe features a superior slip and clog-resistant outsole. Our innovative TripGuard technology ensures that injuries from workplace hazards are greatly reduced.
3. Brandon
The Brandon slip-on safety shoe is available in black or white and comes in unisex sizes. It is metal-free and lightweight, but without compromising durability. A men’s size 44 weighs in at 585 grams and features a composite toe cap with a resistance of 200 joules.
4. Beltra
The Beltra offers easy mobility for logistics workers and features removable, extra-cushioned insoles made from recyclable materials. It is made from a durable, waterproof combination of coated leather and mesh. Since 2022, we at Shoes For Crews have been using 100% PET materials for the linings and microfibres of all our footwear styles, saving significant resources in the long run.
Its two-piece outsole gives wearers flexibility and more control throughout the day. Our patented outsole provides excellent grip and slip resistance and includes TripGuard to help your drivers safely transition from textured surfaces to flat, smooth floors. Weighing just 376g (based on a size 42), it is also resistant to penetration by bloodborne pathogens.
5. Everlight
Although not part of our safety range, our Everlight style is a slip-on work shoe with highly cushioned and comfortable components. It is made from durable EVA material and comes with removable insoles that are made from recycled content. This is one of the efforts we have made to produce our footwear in a sustainable way without compromising on quality. It comes in both black and white styles, specifically designed for men or women. It is also easy to put on thanks to its heel and tongue straps, which provide a hands-free lacing system.
Drivers put a lot of strain on their feet during their shifts. Our slip-resistant technology gives them the support and stability they need. Not only are they easy to clean, but this style’s outsoles also offer excellent traction, and the tread pattern helps to keep logistics staff and delivery drivers safe and comfortable on their feet for long periods of time.
For postal or delivery drivers who spend long hours on foot walking from place to place, often bending down to lift heavy bags and packages, this style is strong enough to last all day. Our patented TripGuard has a slightly curved toecap and a narrow tread. It allows the wearer to move safely from potentially wet floors to other slick surfaces, reducing the overall risk of slips and falls.
Our Shoes For Crews’ slip-resistant technology has been protecting the logistics and courier service industry since 1984. Our range of slip-on safety shoes are available in a variety of different styles and are easy to clean and maintain.
