80% of People Wear the Wrong Safety Shoe Size

Do you know your true shoe size?

You wouldn’t believe how many industrial accidents are caused by staff wearing the wrong sized safety shoe.

The feet are the body’s foundation and integral in maintaining stability. If the feet are not perfectly level, then neither is your posture, which causes a multitude of back problems. When walking, the amount of pressure you place on your feet is 1.5 x your body weight. If someone weighs 12 stone, they are putting a formidable 18 stone of pressure on their feet with every step.

If the shoe does not fit, the toecap protection can be completely wasted should you drop an object on the foot. Anyone who wears a shoe that is too large is likely to be unstable when walking, putting them at greater risk of slips, trips and falls! This means the wearer is more likely to damage their ankle or develop a debilitating, long-term foot problem.

You can avoid any of these staggering symptoms and put your best foot forward with the Steitz Secura range. No foot is as long or as wide as the other, therefore no two pairs of shoes should be. Many of the leading styles come in four different widths and lengths, ensuring the perfect fit for all, no matter how wide or narrow your feet.

The innovative mould measuring system also assures a secure fitting of your Safety Footwear. Simply choose which mould is most similar to your foot size, then step in the mould for a minute as the three-dimensional shell precisely maps the dimensions of your foot. The result? Secure fitting safety shoes!

Now you’ve got the perfect fit, explore how the Steitz Secura range further safeguards the wearer through a multitude of innovative features.

One such feature is the Secura Vario® system. This targeted technology minimises fatigue and eases back strain through weight and pressure-dependent shock absorption, taking a load off your feet and off your mind. This technology helps to reduce fatigue ensuring the wearer stays alert whilst at work, as many preventable accidents are caused by workers not be alert or tired.

The Vario Vitality® technology further reduces pressure on the foot through the load-adjusted multi-zone damping, as pressure is dispersed to numerous zones in the shoe to alleviate pain and fatigue. The density of this technology is customised to the wearer and their individual load, ensuring optimum support for the wearer, whilst alleviating back and foot pain. In this image, each colour represents a different damping zone.

The entire range is developed and tested with the AGR (the official German Back Association), ensuring the shoes work harmoniously with the back.
