SUSTAINABLE VEGAN SAFETY FOOTWEAR
A vegan lifestyle is becoming increasingly important to more and more people. There is a growing demand for animal-free products not only in the food sector, but also in (work) clothing and footwear. In daily life, some people no longer want to use animal materials such as leather. In our range, we have vegan safety shoes for vegan employees in workshops, warehouses and other areas. Vegan safety shoes (also known as vegan work shoes) mean that you can continue to observe your lifestyle in your daily work as well. Is sustainable, leather-free production also a priority for you when choosing safety shoes? Then our vegan safety footwear is perfect for you! Our blog post introduces you to our vegan styles in more detail.
ARE THERE VEGAN SAFETY SHOES?
Do vegan safety shoes even exist? Yes, they most certainly do! Safety shoes can also be manufactured from plant-based or purely synthetic materials that meet all the necessary safety standards and regulations. Since they are leather-free and don’t contain any animal products, vegan safety shoes are suitable for people who follow a vegan lifestyle. “Vegan” safety shoes are manufactured in such a way that not only the base materials, but also all other materials, such as the glue, are free of animal substances and components.
And you know what? Leather-free safety shoes made from plant-based or synthetic materials actually have some advantages over safety shoes made from animal materials. For instance, these safety shoes require less maintenance than leather shoes, retain their shape better, and don’t change during their lifetime.
All models that are labelled 100% vegan have a PFI test mark certificate. This means that both the ingredients and the production process have been tested for the absence of animal ingredients and products, and the products are labelled accordingly.
COMFORTABLE, ANIMAL-FREE AND LEATHER-FREE
You don’t have to sacrifice durability and comfort. Vegan safety footwear like the MADDOX black-grey Low ESD S3 masterfully combine design, functionality and safety. The high-tech Infinergy® material from BASF in the sole core makes the shoes especially comfortable to wear. The innovative cushioning material absorbs the energy expended while walking and returns a large part of it to the wearer. This offers long-term protection to the joints and tendons. In addition, the breathable and skin-friendly textile lining ensures a pleasant shoe climate.
VEGAN OCCUPATIONAL SHOES
In addition to vegan safety shoes (vegan work shoes), we also offer vegan occupational shoes without a protective toe cap, such as the MADDOX black-red Low ESD O2. Thanks to the textile and microfibre upper, not only does the shoe look flashy, it’s also comfortable and light on the foot.
Another occupational shoe that is 100% vegan is the MADDOX Air Mesh black Low ESD O1. The upper material consists of microfibre and mesh. This net material absorbs moisture well and also releases it again. Just like the ESD PRO grey insole, because the open-cell structure of the PU foam ensures good moisture regulation. The foam also contains active carbon absorbers that effectively bind odours. Together with the breathable textile lining, this ensures an excellent shoe climate.
VEGAN SAFETY FOOTWEAR FOR WOMEN
We also offer vegan safety footwear for women at work. These include the MADDIE grey Low ESD S1P, which is also available as a safety shoe, and the MADDIE XXTL blue Low ESD S3. All three vegan versions for women offer a perfect walking experience combined with compelling safety features. These shoes have been specially developed for the narrower shape of women’s feet.
And last but not least: you will of course also find vegan models with the BOA Fit System, as S1P models or in a wide fit.
