What Do These Standards Mean?
EN Standards can be difficult to understand, especially if you're not within the industry. For more information on these shoes and what these safety standards mean, keep reading the information below. For a more detailed breakdown of EN standards, including specific variations and codes, check out our handy guide to EN standards for footwear.
These safety shoes have the EN safety standard rating: EN ISO 20345: 2011 S1P. Let's break down what this means:
- EN ISO 20345 2011: This is the overarching standard at which the safety requirements needed for all work footwear are met. This standard is then divided into several different classes which are rated and determined from a series of risk assessments that are conducted for different parts of the footwear.
- S1: This is the subcategory of the EN ISO 20345: 2011 rating mentioned above. 'S1' means that this footwear has protective toecaps, fully closed heels with energy absorption, antistatic properties and resistance to fuel oil.
- P: This stands for 'Penetration Resistance'. This means these trainers prevent foot injury caused by punctures.

We have a huge range of S1P Safety Footwear available, with a variety of styles and designs to choose from.

They are typically worn in industries or occupations where there is a risk of foot injuries from falling objects, sharp objects, electrical hazards, slippery surfaces, or other potential workplace hazards. Here are some common areas where safety shoes are worn:
- Construction Sites: Safety shoes are essential in construction sites where workers are exposed to falling objects, heavy machinery, uneven terrain, and other construction-related hazards.
- Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities: Workers in manufacturing and industrial facilities, including factories, warehouses, and production lines, often wear safety shoes to protect against potential foot injuries from heavy equipment, moving parts, falling objects, and industrial hazards.
- Warehouses and Logistics: In warehouses and logistics environments, where materials handling, loading and unloading, and storage activities take place, safety shoes are worn to protect against foot injuries from heavy objects, pallets, forklifts, and potential slips and falls.
- Mining and Extraction: Mining operations involve rugged terrains, heavy machinery, and various hazards such as falling rocks, sharp objects, and chemical exposure. Safety shoes are crucial for miners to protect their feet in such challenging environments.

- They prevent foot fatigue for enhanced comfort of the wearer
- They protect against 200 joules of pressure (for protection against falling objects)
- They prevent injury caused by compression, (for example between hard surfaces or machinery)
- They prevent puncture and piercing injuries (for example caused by stepping on nails or other sharp objects)
- Steel Midsoles:

Stylish Safety
Safety shoes aren't known for their sophisticated style, and so often look clunky and awkward - particularly when you're off site.

The Portwest safety shoes offer enhanced protection without feeling or looking as robust as they are - keeping workers comfortable no matter where they are.
We have a variety of Smart Safety Shoes available, for stylish alternatives to conventional safety footwear.
