In the past, safety shoes were only available in one width as standard. However, the need for other widths in the safety shoe sector is becoming ever greater. Nowadays, the need for an optimal fit is rightly more and more addressed. This is not only done with today's standard width 11, but also goes far beyond that.
Living on a big and secure footing
The special widths are needed by people who naturally have larger and wider feet.
In addition, a flat or flat foot can also lead to the need for a safety shoe with a wide fit. Even if 75% of all people who have to wear safety shoes can cope with a normal width of 11, there is still a not insignificant proportion of 25% of people who simply need more space in the safety shoe.
"I'm glad I have a pair of work shoes to change. This allows them to air out from time to time. This reduces the formation of foot sweat and odor formation in the shoes, as well as one-sided strain on the feet and muscles." – Andreas Klingebiel, Warehouse Manager
Our tip: Atlas is a good choice
Some manufacturers, such as the German brand manufacturer Atlas, have specialized in this and also offer fashionable safety shoes with a lot of comfort. Many models are now available in the extra-wide fit Width 12. For the even wider foot, however, fashionable and comfortable models are already available in the Special widths 13 and 14. If the safety shoe does not fit really well, this can also lead to accidents. Therefore, when choosing your safety shoes, always pay attention to the right size with the optimal width.
