Safety footwear is an essential part of personal protective equipment (PPE) in a wide range of working environments. Whether on construction sites, in industrial facilities, warehouses, laboratories, food processing businesses, or healthcare settings, choosing the right footwear helps improve safety, comfort, and productivity throughout the working day.

To meet the needs of professionals across different industries, VAM has expanded its product range with a new selection of safety and work footwear designed to deliver protection, durability, and practicality in every operational environment.

How to Choose the Right Footwear

Not all work activities require the same level of protection. For this reason, professional footwear is classified according to specific standards that identify the level of safety and protective features provided.

• S7: Maximum protection for demanding environments, including wet conditions.
• S1PL: Lightweight, breathable footwear with puncture-resistant protection.
• S2: Ideal for food processing, healthcare, and other professional environments.
• SB: Essential foot protection with a safety toe cap.
• O2: Occupational footwear without a safety toe cap, designed for comfort and outdoor use.

Choosing the right footwear always depends on the working environment, the hazards involved, and the level of protection required.
