Robust and Slip-Resistant Duty Shoes at Shoes For Crews

Patrols, pursuits, providing first aid at an accident scene, resolving domestic conflicts—the duties of the police are incredibly varied and demanding. Since every second counts in critical situations, police officers need a special uniform and duty shoes that never let them down, no matter what challenge lies ahead.

To ensure police officers can keep people safe and provide help in emergency situations without their shoes causing discomfort, we at Shoes For Crews have developed a range of robust and slip-resistant duty shoes.

Why robust and slip-resistant duty shoes?

As already described, police officers face a wide variety of situations every day. This unpredictability, combined with stressful situations and long day or night shifts that are often spent standing, makes suitable duty shoes essential. They not only help prevent trip accidents—in potentially inappropriate or even dangerous situations—but also musculoskeletal disorders.

In addition to the physical and mental well-being of police officers, unsuitable footwear also puts pressure on the budget. The additional direct and indirect costs caused by a high number of work-related injuries include:

• Liability claims
• Legal disputes
• Damaged equipment or property
• Increased insurance premiums
• Staff absences

But that is not all: society can also be harmed by missing or unsuitable duty shoes. If fewer police officers are on the streets due to workplace accidents, such as slip accidents, not all tasks that are actually necessary can be carried out, and the quality of services for citizens is impaired.  

As in all other industries and professions, risk minimisation and accident prevention are the best methods for ensuring employee satisfaction and avoiding unnecessary strain on the budget.

Well equipped for duty: duty shoes from Shoes For Crews

Below, we would like to introduce some of the duty shoes offered by Shoes For Crews in more detail: both work shoes and safety shoes. There is guaranteed to be something suitable for every police officer.

Carrig Low - Active on duty

The Carrig Low is a work shoe in the “O6” category with impressive additional features, such as fuel resistance (FO), heat insulation of the sole complex (HI), cold insulation of the sole complex (CI), slip resistance (SR) and ladder grip (LG). Not only that: thanks to the combination of leather and mesh, the upper of this duty shoe is particularly durable and waterproof. Technically, the Carrig Low is hard to beat!

In addition, this duty shoe is wonderfully comfortable, as it features a removable, cushioned insole, excellent cushioning and is also breathable. Everything you need for a long day on your feet!

The icing on the cake is the extremely slip-resistant outsole with additional trip protection. You see—with the Carrig Low, you are definitely always making the right choice.

Stratton III - A firm footing

The Stratton III is also a work shoe in the “O6” category with additional features such as fuel resistance (FO), slip resistance (SR) and ladder grip (LG). Naturally, this duty shoe is also equipped with an extremely slip-resistant outsole with trip protection, so police officers can get through their shifts with especially secure footing.

Did you also know that all our duty shoes—whether work shoes or safety shoes—feature a cushioned insole and lining made from recycled materials? This way, we are doing something good not only for police officers and their feet, but also for the environment.

Guard Mid - Even more safety

With the Guard Mid, police officers are provided with even more safety. The safety shoe in the “S3” category not only offers the mandatory composite toe cap, but also has the following additional features: resistance to contact heat (HRO), slip resistance (SR), ladder grip (LG) and waterproofness (WR). In addition, the extremely slip-resistant outsole with trip protection is penetration resistant.

Of course, we did not want police officers to have to compromise on comfort with this duty shoe either. That is why this safety shoe also features a removable, cushioned insole and excellent cushioning. The side zip also makes the Guard Mid easier to put on and take off.

If those are not enough arguments, rest assured that rolling your ankle or suffering ankle injuries is also difficult with this duty shoe, as it has a shaft height of 15.2 cm. So you are truly protected for every eventuality.

Delvin - A little sneak peek

The Delvin will only be available towards the end of 2023, but we did not want to deny you a little sneak peek. This duty shoe is a safety shoe in the “S7” category with technical features that are truly impressive. For example, the Delvin features 200 g cold insulation, a waterproof leather upper and an impressive 20.3 cm shaft height. This makes the Delvin an excellent duty shoe even in winter.

Of course, we do not want to reveal too much, as this model is yet to come onto the market, but you can look forward to the highest quality in terms of technology and comfort!
