Why choose Shoes For Crews footwear for your business?

Have you recently discovered our brand and would like to get to know us better? Are you looking for work or safety footwear for your teams, but do not know which brand to choose? Then you have come to the right place! Let us introduce our company and the main features of our catalogue so you can understand why Shoes For Crews footwear is ideal for equipping your employees.

European presence

Founded in 1984, Shoes For Crews is now a leading name in the safety and work footwear sector : 150,000 businesses worldwide trust us. We have been present in Europe since 2001, a market we know and understand well. For efficient logistics, we chose the city of Venlo in the Netherlands for our distribution centre, which currently stocks 400,000 pairs of shoes and enables us to make deliveries within three or four working days.
In addition, to reduce our environmental footprint, some of our footwear is now produced in Italy and Portugal.

The strengths of Shoes For Crews footwear

Safety

At Shoes For Crews, we know that not all standard-compliant products are equal, which is why we do not simply make footwear that complies with the standard: we seek the highest performance. To achieve this, we offer footwear whose SRC test results far exceed the standard for slip resistance and grip. This helps eliminate up to 80% of slips and falls, the leading causes of workers’ compensation claims. 

Both our certified footwear and our non-certified models feature a patented slip-resistant outsole, developed through years of safety research. Suitable for all working environments, it is particularly suited to the risks associated with roles in retail, hospitality and food service, public transport, postal and delivery services, and healthcare, where employees often encounter slippery floors. 

In addition to this proprietary technology, we offer two systems developed in our laboratories. The first, called TripGuard, is an anti-trip system: the toe of our outsole is slightly curved and its chevrons are closely spaced to make moving between different surfaces easier, from smooth flooring to slippery floors and carpets. The second is an anti-clog system, achieved through chevrons spaced far enough apart to limit the amount of debris that can become trapped between the grooves. It makes outsoles easier to clean while preventing the spread of contaminating substances and ensuring good grip.

To provide your teams with even greater protection, some of our footwear includes a membrane that protects the front of the foot from liquid splashes. An important feature in many professions.

Design

Work footwear generally means a uniform, and we know that appearance matters to your teams as well as to the image you want your establishment to convey. To meet these expectations and the needs of different professions, our catalogue includes models in a wide variety of styles, often available in different colours. Safety footwear, smart or modern work shoes, ballet flats, trainers, runner-style or classic sneakers: we certainly have the footwear that perfectly complements your employees’ workwear.

Comfort

For work footwear, comfort and safety must go hand in hand. To enable your teams to work in good conditions and perform at their best, we develop innovative products that help you ensure your employees’ wellbeing, because as an employer or manager, it is your responsibility to look after their safety as well as their physical and mental health. Providing a quality pair of work or safety shoes can help improve your employer brand. By creating a friendly and safe working environment, you will not only stand out from your competitors when recruiting, but you may also retain your employees in the long term.

Durability

As budget control is essential for businesses, we strive to offer durable models at affordable prices.

Innovation

As added value for our company and a benefit for our customers, it is worth noting that our experts work with a focus on continuous improvement to offer innovative safety and comfort solutions. We therefore take into account the views of people who wear our footwear every day. But it does not stop there. Shoes For Crews strives to stay current in order to meet market expectations and concerns through ongoing innovation and new products. Our vegan products and eco-responsible range are also part of this approach.
