Top 5 sporty safety shoes for comfort, style and safety

Why choose sporty safety shoes?
Sporty models combine the characteristics of sneakers with the essential protective properties of work shoes. They are therefore really comfortable. Even after a long day at work, you will still have some energy left when you get home!

Lighter than traditional safety shoes. The choice of materials makes a huge difference. Imagine an upper made of textile or mesh rather than leather. Or a protective toe cap made of composite rather than steel.
Breathable linings for fresh feet. The Hydro Tec® lining in EMMA’s safety shoes absorb and spread moisture, causing it to evaporate almost instantly.
More freedom of movement. The low-cut model offers greater flexibility, making it easier to move around and change your work position. The supple material prevents annoying pressure points on your feet.
Designs inspired by sportswear and streetwear. Sometimes you don't even see that they are safety shoes; they look as if they come straight from a sneaker shop.
Equally safe, providing they are certified. As long as the sneaker meets the right safety standard (S1P, S1PS, S3 or S3S), it offers just as much protection as a traditional safety shoe.

Are sporty safety shoes just as safe?
Absolutely! The difference with traditional work shoes lies mainly in weight, design and freedom of movement, not in safety. The sporty models at EMMA comply with safety standards, such as S1P, S1PS, S3, S3S, S2 and O2. For example, they provide protection from bumps, puncture and other risks, because they are equipped with:

A steel or composite protective toe cap
An anti-perforation sole, including a metal-free option
SRC slip-resistant
ESD protection from harm caused by electrostatic discharge
Water-repellent or rather breathable properties

Is a sporty shoe something for me?
Do you work in an environment requiring movement, speed and flexibility? Then, a sporty safety shoe of work sneaker is well suited! In some sectors, work sneakers are even the 40-50% most popular safety shoe, in particular in:

Logistics & distribution, e-commerce & depot work
echnical services & installation sector
Retail, event and stand building

Tip: Always check that the work sneaker suits the requirements of your work environment (such as S1P or S3 Standard). Safety should always come first!
