How to Choose the Right Size Safety Shoes: Fit, Comfort & Injury Prevention

It’s very important to choose the right size for your safety footwear. A shoe that is too tight or too loose will not only make your working day uncomfortable, it can also lead to blisters and other injuries, and as a result a risk that you will choose to wear other less protective shoes. Below is a size guide that converts sizes based on the shoe size systems used in different regions. This table is intended as a starting point only. It is of course always best to try on the shoes before you make your final decision.

The rigidity of the protective toe cap, for example, means you ought to allow 5–8 mm of extra room for natural movement when walking, so you may need a size bigger than you do for your casual shoes. Don’t forget to count in things like extra warm, thick socks and insoles as well.

Shoe Size Tips to Keep in Mind:

1. If one foot is larger than the other, choose shoes based on the size of the larger foot.

2. Ensure there is at least 10 mm of space in front of your longest toe.

3. Keep in mind that your feet tend to swell during the day. Therefore, it's advisable to measure your feet and try on shoes towards the end of the day.
