20345:2022 standard for safety footwear was published in June 2022. It replaces the previous EN ISO 20345:2011 standard and contains some important changes. The standard specifies basic requirements for safety footwear that apply to all types of workplaces. It also contains additional requirements that apply to certain workplaces or activities. The publication of this standard is accompanied by a number of important updates designed to improve the protection of wearers. These include new test procedures, new additional requirements and improved labelling.<br \/>\nTo mention just one new feature: footwear that meets the additional requirement of waterproofness of the entire shoe (WR) has now been defined in two new classes: S2 WR (=S6) and S3 WR (=S7).<br \/>\nThe new EN ISO 20345:2022 standard is an important step towards improving occupational health and safety. This is because it contains stricter requirements and new test procedures designed to increase the safety of safety footwear. At ELTEN, all newly produced safety shoes are already tested and certified according to the new standard. In our shoe tutorial, we go through all the important changes for you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

In industry, trade or on the building site, safety shoes are worn constantly for several hours every day. The main thing for safety shoes that are worn for several hours every day is: a proper fit! This is because if they chafe or pinch, people don\u2019t like to wear them or don\u2019t wear them at all \u2013 meaning no more protection. If blisters, inflammations and chronic pressure points develop, this also has a negative effect on the well-being. The sufferer is less productive and has difficulty concentrating at work. This increases the error rate and the risk of accidents. Conversely, a better fit and greater comfort always translates into greater safety, because people are happy to wear comfortable shoes, and will wear them on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>When trying on safety shoes, it becomes clear very quickly whether or not they feel right. However, this does not mean that the size of the selected safety shoes is the right one. Many people make the mistake of always choosing the same size, although this can vary depending on the manufacturer. As a result, many people in industry or trade wear shoes that are too small or too large \u2013 and have become accustomed to this. Reliable information about the size of safety shoes can be obtained by measuring the foot and providing information about foot length and width, \u2013 and in some cases about any incorrect foot positions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

This is because if they chafe or pinch, people don\u2019t like to wear them or don\u2019t wear them at all \u2013 meaning no more protection. If blisters, inflammations and chronic pressure points develop, this also has a negative effect on the well-being. The sufferer is less productive and has difficulty concentrating at work. This increases the error rate and the risk of accidents. Conversely, a better fit and greater comfort always translates into greater safety, because people are happy to wear comfortable shoes, and will wear them on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>When trying on safety shoes, it becomes clear very quickly whether or not they feel right. However, this does not mean that the size of the selected safety shoes is the right one. Many people make the mistake of always choosing the same size, although this can vary depending on the manufacturer. As a result, many people in industry or trade wear shoes that are too small or too large \u2013 and have become accustomed to this. Reliable information about the size of safety shoes can be obtained by measuring the foot and providing information about foot length and width, \u2013 and in some cases about any incorrect foot positions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-2h3nby60-d5d39a71dd4c24ecb7efb75532f040a4 sc-av_one_half av-equal-height-column-flextable'><div  class='flex_column av-2h3nby60-d5d39a71dd4c24ecb7efb75532f040a4 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  column-top-margin'     ><div  class='avia-video av-llxkeonr-f8066f31eed4c9d357748cf0eac7ebd9 avia-video-16-9 av-desktop-hide av-medium-hide av-no-preview-image avia-video-load-always av-lazyload-immediate av-lazyload-video-embed'  itemprop=\"video\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"  data-original_url='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1TD8HAXG6to&amp;list=PL9x603EhsC-WtfGZ96cyMLlqkCS4yv12h&amp;index=10&amp;pp=iAQB'><script type='text\/html' class='av-video-tmpl'><div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ELTEN ShoeTorial: How to tell when the shoes fit\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1TD8HAXG6to?list=PL9x603EhsC-WtfGZ96cyMLlqkCS4yv12h&autoplay=0&loop=0&controls=1&mute=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/script><div class='av-click-to-play-overlay'><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-2e5fu794-0e18c1e94c83ad44c07e63c1a332b314 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-llxkex7s-942283ef448f405d8e6486e70fb6d03a '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='av-desktop-hide av-medium-hide avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOUR SHOES FIT<\/h2>\n<h3>THE FINAL FINGER TEST<\/h3>\n<p>Safety risks in the workplace must be avoided at all costs \u2013 also for your feet.

The main thing for safety shoes that are used for several hours every day is a proper fit! That\u2019s because if they chafe or pinch, they become an additional burden. For example, if the toes are no longer in the correct position, they will slip behind the toe cap and the shoes will no longer protect them sufficiently in the case of an accident. Especially people with very wide or thick toes tend to buy shoes that are too large for them.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, for some safety shoe models we offer a comfortable multi-width system that gives each foot the individual space it needs by providing more volume in the forefoot area. We have also adapted the protective toe cap accordingly: It has \u201cgrown\u201d in width and offers effective protection because it also covers the toe area well at the sides and the necessary residual height is maintained. Shoes with XW in the product name stand for a wider fit. They have a wide toe cap, a wide ball of the foot and a large instep volume. Models with XXW in the name are suitable for very big feet. These models likewise have a wide toe cap, but have an extra-wide ball of the foot and a particularly large instep volume \u2013 for optimally fitting shoes even in the case of stout feet.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we have been working intensively with experts from the scientific community for many years to develop innovative solutions for shoes that fit. For example, the Ergo-Active 2.0 series was developed from the latest research results in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Grau (University of T\u00fcbingen\/Gothenburg). The ERGO-ACTIVE system consists of three different fits for the most common foot types and thus solves typical fit problems individually. The lasts \u2013 three variants per size \u2013 take into account not only the length and width of the foot, but also toe length, heel width and the angular position of the foot.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

With our Ergo-Active technology, everyone can find the right safety shoe for them. Three foot types, three outsoles, two cap widths. Whether you have wide feet with short toes and a wide ball and heel width or narrow feet with medium-length toes and a narrow ball and heel width: there is something for everyone. Different sized toe caps provide the space needed for each foot. The special feature: Ergo-Active adapts to the expansion of the foot as it moves. Ergo-Active also has suitable solutions for mostly narrower women&#8217;s feet. More choice makes for more security.

With our Ergo-Active technology, everyone can find the right safety shoe for them. Three foot types, three outsoles, two cap widths. Whether you have wide feet with short toes and a wide ball and heel width or narrow feet with medium-length toes and a narrow ball and heel width: there is something for everyone. Different sized toe caps provide the space needed for each foot. The special feature: Ergo-Active adapts to the expansion of the foot as it moves. Ergo-Active also has suitable solutions for mostly narrower women&#8217;s feet. More choice makes for more security. Therefore, there are three different non-slip sole profiles: indoor with an innovative pivot sole and outdoor with two different tread heights. Ergo-Active optimises the wearing comfort. Also, the risk of foot complaints and accidents is significantly reduced.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

However, due to the strong muscular system in the legs and buttocks, the wearer cannot detect or feel many differences, for instance whether leather or textile materials have been used.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-llxlbyee-52e0ba3d2aa1428a70d4145a5678e098\">\n.avia-section.av-llxlbyee-52e0ba3d2aa1428a70d4145a5678e098{\nbackground-color:#dd0b2e;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_5'  class='avia-section av-llxlbyee-52e0ba3d2aa1428a70d4145a5678e098 main_color avia-section-small avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-72  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_section  av-desktop-hide av-medium-hide av-small-hide av-mini-hide avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-344654'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-1izx4tyw-2c052cf1e8887929434928e2db4b6621 sc-av_one_half av-equal-height-column-flextable'><div  class='flex_column av-1izx4tyw-2c052cf1e8887929434928e2db4b6621 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-73  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  '     ><div  class='avia-video av-1byc9fg8-eae21127a7a323a65adcefb5b8aa6629 avia-video-16-9 av-no-preview-image avia-video-load-always av-lazyload-immediate av-lazyload-video-embed'  itemprop=\"video\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"  data-original_url='https:\/\/youtu.be\/0X9YOdlEb10'><script type='text\/html' class='av-video-tmpl'><div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ELTEN ShoeTorial: Was sagt das Schuhgewicht aus? \ud83e\udd14\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0X9YOdlEb10?feature=oembed&autoplay=0&loop=0&controls=1&mute=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/script><div class='av-click-to-play-overlay'><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-15ztnvso-c15a75fed4be0247f03f3da933dd3b48 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-75  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-14619jco-3cd148863ab9b62223186e78c689b525\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-14619jco-3cd148863ab9b62223186e78c689b525 .avia_textblock{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-14619jco-3cd148863ab9b62223186e78c689b525 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">ABOUT EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS AND SOLE CONSTRUCTION<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">AND HOW THEY AFFECT SHOE WEIGHT<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Safety shoes that support you through the day and protect your feet.

These jobs place a particular strain on the back, feet and joints, which well-cushioned shoes can absorb. For example, our WELLMAXX models have a special technology in the outsole: Infinergy\u00ae from BASF. Lots of foam particles, which have closed air cells inside them, ensure that they can be compressed extraordinarily well. This technology cushions the impact of the foot and immediately springs the sole back to its original shape. Much of the energy is therefore returned to the wearer immediately, which means they use less power and energy.

These jobs place a particular strain on the back, feet and joints, which well-cushioned shoes can absorb. For example, our WELLMAXX models have a special technology in the outsole: Infinergy\u00ae from BASF. Lots of foam particles, which have closed air cells inside them, ensure that they can be compressed extraordinarily well. This technology cushions the impact of the foot and immediately springs the sole back to its original shape. Much of the energy is therefore returned to the wearer immediately, which means they use less power and energy. Whether indoors or outdoors: even when worn for multiple hours, our WELLMAXX models make everyday work noticeably easier.

This is because they can cause damage to the components. ESD safety shoes help to reduce the risk of ESD damage. Electrostatic discharges are usually caused by friction or contact between two different materials. Anyone who has ever walked across a carpet in shoes with a rubber sole, for example, will be familiar with this phenomenon. An electrical charge can build up on one of the materials. If this charge is then suddenly discharged, an ESD discharge can occur. This can quickly become a problem in everyday working life. This is because ESD damage can have various effects on electronic components, such as damaging the semiconductor structure, changing the electrical properties or damaging the connections. In some cases, ESD damage can even lead to total failure of the electronic component. This is where the ESD capability of safety shoes comes into play. They have a special sole that dissipates the electrostatic charge, as the material used is particularly conductive. ESD safety shoes therefore help to reduce the risk of ESD damage.

In our shoe tutorial, we take a closer look at the topic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_10'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-344654'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lsx3na9b-4edfb0340569ba39c98ea6569564ed57\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-lsx3na9b-4edfb0340569ba39c98ea6569564ed57{\nmargin-top:0px;\nheight:1px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"penetrationprotection\"  class='hr av-lsx3na9b-4edfb0340569ba39c98ea6569564ed57 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-123  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-41wiyud4-4f6ccdb555e3be0e0f4c61d4d2fe8d89 sc-av_one_half av-equal-height-column-flextable'><div  class='flex_column av-41wiyud4-4f6ccdb555e3be0e0f4c61d4d2fe8d89 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-124  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  '     ><div  class='avia-video av-llxm51uu-20c39668a0101d1ce7518ea8e7ce557e avia-video-16-9 av-desktop-hide av-medium-hide av-no-preview-image avia-video-load-always av-lazyload-immediate av-lazyload-video-embed'  itemprop=\"video\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"  data-original_url='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HZVFdnyx28Q&amp;list=PL9x603EhsC-WtfGZ96cyMLlqkCS4yv12h&amp;index=17&amp;pp=iAQB'><script type='text\/html' class='av-video-tmpl'><div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ELTEN ShoeTorial : Areas of use for penetration protection \ud83c\udfd7\ufe0f\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HZVFdnyx28Q?list=PL9x603EhsC-WtfGZ96cyMLlqkCS4yv12h&autoplay=0&loop=0&controls=1&mute=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/script><div class='av-click-to-play-overlay'><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-3w9xmtvc-4e6c1454a44bbf8bd300ee2472ec32a6 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-126  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-llxm4t6z-0b92de4e4c5e5943dbcef597f34d0e9d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='av-desktop-hide av-medium-hide avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>It all comes down to the right step<\/h2>\n<h3>Fields of application of anti-penetration inserts<\/h3>\n<p>Penetration protection is achieved either by means of a midsole made of steel or textile.

The cuff helps prevent accidents like twisting your foot \u2013 one of the most common causes of injury in everyday working life. Sprains, dislocations or torn ligaments are among the most common injuries. With our knee protection, these injuries specifically and a long downtime can be prevented.<\/p>\n<p>BIOMEX PROTECTION\u00a9 stabilises the ankle as it moves and protects it against these hazards. Despite the joint protection, the shoe remains pleasantly light, flexible and does not cause pressure points or circulation problems. The cuff also follows the natural movement axes of the joints in the foot and knee as they move towards the centre of the body. It is constructed asymmetrically and is positioned protectively in front of the ligaments. This reduces the risk of twisting considerably.<\/p>\n<p>Twisting accidents with injuries to ligaments, muscles and joints are often very painful, complicated and protracted.

The cuff helps prevent accidents like twisting your foot \u2013 one of the most common causes of injury in everyday working life. Sprains, dislocations or torn ligaments are among the most common injuries. With our knee protection, these injuries specifically and a long downtime can be prevented.<\/p>\n<p>BIOMEX PROTECTION\u00a9 stabilises the ankle as it moves and protects it against these hazards. Despite the joint protection, the shoe remains pleasantly light, flexible and does not cause pressure points or circulation problems. The cuff also follows the natural movement axes of the joints in the foot and knee as they move towards the centre of the body. It is constructed asymmetrically and is positioned protectively in front of the ligaments. This reduces the risk of twisting considerably.<\/p>\n<p>Twisting accidents with injuries to ligaments, muscles and joints are often very painful, complicated and protracted. In many cases, BIOMEX technology prevents this from happening in the first place. BIOMEX PROTECTION\u00a9 can help avoid hospital stays and long downtimes with frequently difficult healing processes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_14'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-344654'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[495],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-344654","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-home-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.9 (Yoast SEO v21.9.1) -
