Start with Professional Foot Measurement
Never skip measuring your feet—visit a shoe store or use a home foot-measuring tool to get accurate length and width. Measure later in the day when feet are slightly swollen (a common occurrence during long work shifts) to avoid choosing shoes that feel tight after hours. Also, note your arch type (high, medium, or flat) since S1PS shoes often include arch support; matching this ensures reduced strain on your feet and lower back.
Prioritize Adequate Toe Box Space for Safety and Comfort
S1PS shoes feature reinforced toe caps (steel, aluminum, or composite) to resist impacts, but cramped toes can negate both comfort and protection. Aim for 1–1.5 centimeters of space between your longest toe and the toe cap. Test this by standing and wiggling your toes—they should move freely without pressing against the cap. A proper toe box also prevents blisters and ingrown toenails, critical for all-day wear.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Anti-static materials in the upper and sole prevent static buildup, reducing the risk of sparks that could ignite flammable substances or damage sensitive electronics in environments like assembly lines or storage facilities.
