Industrial shoes: 5 Shoes For Crews models that improve posture at work

Work requirements in industry often demand that professionals adopt forced postures, which can cause injuries or workplace accidents that could be avoided by wearing the right footwear. As stated in the Technical Guide for preventing risks related to the use of workplaces, prepared by the Ministry of Employment and Social Security, there are different recommendations that help minimise these risks, improving workers' health and satisfaction. 

Following preventive measures to avoid forced postures in industrial work is key. Exoskeletons are one of the fastest-growing trends for optimising ergonomics in recent years. However, any approach aimed at protecting industrial workers must consider the importance of having the right footwear. Today, we present five Shoes For Crews models with the qualities needed to correct unsuitable postures.

What features should industrial shoes have? 

Static and forced postures are directly related to the onset of musculoskeletal disorders, as stated by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work. Industrial shoes reduce the risk of these occurring. For professionals to gain the benefits associated with their use, this footwear must have a number of features. We explain them below.  

1. Have a slip-resistant sole 

Wet or poorly maintained floors can cause workers to slip, maintain forced postures and even suffer falls. Footwear with a slip-resistant sole, such as the one patented by Shoes For Crews, provides the grip needed to prevent slips. 

2. Be comfortable  

Cushioned, removable insoles provide extra comfort that improves workers' wellbeing in a sector that usually requires standing for many hours. Thanks to them, fatigue is reduced and, along with it, the adoption of unsuitable postures.

3. Adapt to the worker's physical condition 

Industrial shoes should be designed to distribute the professional's weight evenly. This increases worker safety, helping them maintain an appropriate posture during their activity.  

4. Be prepared to cushion potential impacts  

Industrial shoes are recommended to have a protective toe cap, made of steel or composite materials, helping to reduce the risk of injury when impacts or falling objects occur in the workplace.
