Decades of experience dedicated to workers' wellbeing

In the 1980s, Shoes For Crews was founded in the United States in response to a need identified by our founder, Stan Smith, who noted an increase in workplace injuries caused by slips and falls. The solution: developing high-quality footwear with innovative slip-resistant technology that would help protect workers. 

Strong results and the trust of thousands of companies led to the growth of Shoes For Crews. In 2001, we arrived in Europe, establishing our headquarters in Shannon (Ireland). The excellent reception in the European market laid the foundations for our expansion across the continent and led us to move our distribution centre to Venlo, in the Netherlands. Today, with the aim of reducing our environmental footprint, we concentrate part of our footwear production in Italy and Portugal. 

Today, almost four decades after our founding, we are very clear about one thing: our greatest endorsement is the trust our customers continue to place in us. 

The keys that define the success of Shoes For Crews shoes   

The goal of our company is for the people who wear our shoes to feel safe and comfortable with them on their feet, reducing workplace accidents, achieving maximum performance in their work and increasing company productivity. To do this, our entire catalogue is based on four solid pillars.  

1. Worker safety, our reason for being 

Falls and slips are the leading causes of workplace accidents worldwide, according to data from the International Labour Organization. At Shoes For Crews, we have conducted research for years to help reduce their incidence, and the results show that we have succeeded: the slip resistance of our shoes helps reduce slips, trips and falls in the workplace by up to 80%. 

The revolutionary slip-resistant sole patented by Shoes For Crews has made us leaders in the professional footwear sector. Found in both our certified models and non-certified models, Shoes For Crews shoes adapt to every sector, offering unique traction, durability and safety features to protect professionals even in the most demanding work environments.  

In addition, we take care of every detail and pursue continuous improvement, always focused on optimising the protection of your workers. That is the goal of the TripGuard system, which we have developed in our laboratories and which helps users move safely between different surfaces, reducing the risk of accidents. 

Meanwhile, our innovative clog-resistant system limits the amount of debris that becomes trapped in the grooves of the sole, ensuring the best grip. In addition, several of our models incorporate a protective membrane against liquid splashes, a highly useful defence in some workplaces. 

2. An elegant, modern style

Footwear is a fundamental part of work uniforms and contributes to creating a strong brand image. That is why we place great importance on design in Shoes For Crews shoes, offering a wide variety of styles in our models. 

Casual, classic, athletic and safety shoes… We have no doubt: our catalogue has the footwear that best suits your company's dress code or uniform requirements. 

3. Comfort as a priority

For workers who have to stand for many hours, comfortable footwear that guarantees their wellbeing throughout the working day is essential. For this reason, we use quality materials and our entire catalogue is designed with customer comfort and wellbeing in mind. 

In addition, many of our shoes include cushioned soles and removable insoles that make them easier to wear and help ensure the proper fit for users' feet. 

4. Innovation with a focus on sustainability

At Shoes For Crews, we are committed to the environment. Proof of this is that we are currently modifying the production system across our entire footwear range in order to develop more sustainable shoes through an environmentally friendly supply chain and by using materials that are kinder to the planet. 

In addition, we have designed a collection of vegan shoes and trainers that have already received Intertek certification, which guarantees the reliability of vegan textile, footwear and accessory products. 

This environmental commitment is being developed in parallel with the implementation of innovative solutions aimed at continuously improving all production and distribution processes.

Shoes For Crews strives to meet market demands and expectations by renewing and optimising its footwear and expanding its catalogue, with the guarantee of achieving the highest standards of comfort, durability and safety.
