Indispensable puncture-resistant safety shoes

2023-07-25

The foot is known as the "second heart of a person", and it also shoulders the heavy responsibility of standing and walking. However, there are many factors in the industrial environment that can cause damage to the foot. Among them, stab wounds are one of the most common foot injuries.

In industries such as electroplating, construction, and machinery and equipment manufacturing, metal scraps, iron nails, or other sharp objects may injure workers' feet due to accumulations in the workplace or during the use of certain equipment. In the face of these industrial environments, a pair of safety shoes with anti-puncture function is needed.

Is puncture protection necessary?

However, because safety shoes are stuffy and bulky, wearing them for a long time can easily lead to smelly feet and foot fatigue, and because some workers do not realize the importance of wearing safety shoes, many workers do not choose to wear safety shoes in the work area.

 

What happens if you wear normal shoes instead of safety shoes in an environment where there is a risk of stab wounds? Consider a case below:

 

Mr. Zhao, a 50-year-old construction worker, was injured by an exposed rusty iron nail when climbing a scaffold one day. After returning home that night, he cleaned it several times with soapy water and did not do anything else. The next day, he suddenly fainted at work and was later diagnosed with tetanus infection in the wound. After the doctor took the medicine, his condition continued to deteriorate. Not only could he not speak, but he would drool continuously, accompanied by dyspnea and muscle twitching. Finally, after two months of ICU treatment, the crisis was turned into safety.

A small iron nail can cause such a huge hazard to human health, and puncture-resistant safety shoes are equipped with a puncture-resistant midsole that can resist piercing by sharp objects, thereby protecting the feet from puncture injuries, which play an important role in safe production and foot protection

What's the secret to puncture resistance?

The appearance of puncture-proof safety shoes is not much different from that of ordinary civilian shoes, so how does it have such a strong puncture-proof ability? His anti-puncture ability is mainly displayed through the midsole material. Among them, the most common midsole materials are steel midsole and Kevlar midsole. Let's take a look at their characteristics together with Xiaobei~

 

The steel midsole has good elasticity, strong toughness, and stable performance, but it is easy to rust when exposed to water for a long time. The hard material makes it unsuitable for long-term standing or squatting.

Kevlar midsole has low density, high strength, high temperature resistance, good toughness, and can effectively buffer the impact of objects pierced, so it is widely used in the field of bulletproof products. Under the same protection conditions, the weight of the Kevlar midsole is lighter than that of the steel midsole, which can provide higher comfort for the feet and is more suitable for work that requires long-term walking.

Multifunctional and safer

Seeing this, some workers will inevitably have doubts. Can safety shoes equipped with these two "very thin" materials prevent piercing by iron nails and metal sharp objects?

 

Keke~ Na Xiaobei has to tell everyone that the safety shoes with anti-puncture function under Lanbo have passed strict testing, that is, the test nails with a diameter of 4.5mm are selected, and the pressure test is applied to 4 different points of the sole at a speed of 10mm/min until they penetrate. The minimum value exceeds 1100N, which meets the national standard! Lanbo also has a variety of multi-functional safety shoes combinations. In addition to the basic functions of anti-smashing and anti-puncture, there are also anti-static and electrical insulation styles to choose from, such as 3386A, D1887, etc. (please click on the model for more details)

Lanbo Safety shoes not only focus on protective performance, but also pay great attention to the the brand concept of "safer, more comfortable, and happier", just to better protect the foot health of workers~
