Foot Protection

What types of foot protection products are available in Greategle and what are their functions?

Safety Shoes
Safety shoes are a widely used type of foot protection products of Greateagle, and are often used in construction sites, heavy industry, warehousing and logistics, etc. The front end of this type of shoe usually has a built-in steel head or composite toe, which can protect the toes from injury when hit by heavy objects. In addition, the sole is made of puncture-resistant material, which can effectively prevent sharp objects from piercing the sole of the foot, and is suitable for working environments where there are nails, iron sheets and other debris on the ground.
In terms of material selection, Greateagle uses a variety of processes to manufacture safety shoe uppers, such as cowhide, synthetic leather, mesh, etc., taking into account strength and breathability. At the same time, the soles are mostly made of double-density polyurethane (PU) injection molding process, which has certain shock absorption and anti-slip properties, and is suitable for long-term work wear.

Antistatic Shoes
Antistatic shoes are mainly suitable for production environments in industries such as electronics, chemicals, and precision instruments. Greateagle's antistatic shoe soles are made of special conductive materials, which can conduct the static electricity accumulated by the human body to the ground through the soles during wearing, reducing the risks that may be caused by static discharge. This design has practical uses in preventing damage to electronic components or accidents caused by flammable materials.
To ensure that the anti-static performance is continuously effective, Greateagle tests the electrostatic resistance value of each batch of products during the production process and indicates the service life, so that users can replace them periodically.

Insulating Shoes
Insulating shoes are common foot protection products for power industry workers. Greateagle's insulating shoes are made of voltage-resistant materials, which can block current within the specified voltage range and reduce the risk of electric shock. Such products generally pass the national standard voltage test and indicate the applicable voltage level, such as 6kV, 15kV, 20kV, etc.
The sole thickness and material of insulating shoes are specially designed to enhance the insulation effect. It is suitable for occasions requiring electrical protection, such as electrical equipment maintenance, installation and maintenance operations under high-voltage environments, etc.

Puncture-Resistant Shoes
The soles of Greateagle's puncture-resistant work shoes are embedded with steel plates or Kevlar fiber layers, which can effectively block sharp objects from piercing from below. They are often used in working environments with a lot of debris, such as factory handling, waste disposal, and construction sites. This product is used in combination with steel-toed safety shoes to provide double protection for toes and soles.
The puncture-resistant layer has been tested for anti-bending and pressure to ensure that it will not easily break or fail in actual use. In addition, the sole design also takes into account anti-slip performance, which is suitable for wet or oily ground conditions.

Waterproof Boots
Greateagle's waterproof boots are mostly made of one-piece injection molding technology, with a complete waterproof structure, suitable for rainy and snowy weather, wading operations, and muddy environments. The upper material, such as PVC, rubber or TPU, not only has the function of waterproofing, but also is easy to clean.
This type of boots is often used in industries such as agriculture, fisheries, municipal engineering, and outdoor operations. It can effectively keep the feet dry and reduce foot diseases caused by dampness and cold.

Heat-Resistant Shoes
For the use needs of high-temperature industries such as smelting, steel, and glass manufacturing, Greateagle provides heat-resistant safety shoes. The soles are made of special rubber mixed materials, which can withstand high temperatures of about 300°C in a short period of time without deformation or melting. At the same time, the upper is made of heat-resistant leather, which has certain flame retardant properties.
This type of shoes is also equipped with heat-insulating linings and thick insoles to reduce the heat conduction from the high-temperature ground to the feet, and improve wearing comfort and protection performance.

Multi-Purpose Work Shoes
For the comprehensive protection needs of different working environments, Greateagle also provides work shoes that combine multiple functions, such as products with anti-slip, oil-proof, anti-static, wear-resistant, lightweight and other characteristics. The design of this type of shoe is closer to daily wear, and it takes into account both beauty and practicality on the basis of safety functions.
Multifunctional work shoes are suitable for modern factories, warehouses, e-commerce logistics centers and other environments, especially for people who need to move frequently or stand for a long time.

Personalized customization service support
In addition to standard foot protection products, Greateagle also provides customized solutions. For example, exclusive designs can be made according to the customer's company's LOGO, color style, and functional requirements; corresponding certified products can also be provided according to different regional standards, such as European standards, national standards, American standards, etc. The company provides continuous and stable supply support to global users through its two major manufacturing bases in Ningbo and Gaomi.

How to correctly choose the right foot protection product?

Identify the working environment and potential risks
Before choosing foot protection products, you must first have a clear understanding of the user's working environment. For example: construction sites may have risks such as heavy objects falling, nail punctures, and slippery floors; chemical sites may involve corrosive liquids or static electricity accumulation; the power industry faces the risk of electric shock. According to different work scenarios and risk factors, choosing protective products with corresponding functions is a basic requirement.

Understand the types of main protective functions
There are many types of foot protection products, and their functions can be roughly divided into the following categories:
Anti-smashing: Suitable for areas where heavy objects are prone to falling, such as warehousing, logistics, and construction industries. Safety shoes with steel or composite toes are usually selected.
Anti-puncture: Suitable for places where there are hidden dangers of puncture such as debris and iron filings under the feet, and the soles need to be embedded with a puncture protection layer.
Anti-slip: Used on slippery or oily floors, such as food factories, hospitals, and maintenance workshops, you need to pay attention to the anti-slip level of the sole pattern and material.
Anti-static: Suitable for electronics, chemical and other fields, can export static electricity and reduce the risk of static discharge.
Insulation: Suitable for live working environments, you need to choose shoes with insulation properties.
Waterproof/Oil-proof: For example, in fisheries and municipal maintenance, you need to choose upper materials with waterproof and oil-proof properties.
Consider the actual performance of upper and sole materials
The material of the upper directly affects wear resistance, breathability and flexibility. For example: natural leather has a certain toughness and ductility, suitable for long-term wear; synthetic leather or mesh is lighter and suitable for positions that require comfort.
Sole materials such as PU, TPU, rubber, etc. have different properties: PU is lighter and suitable for cushioning; rubber is more wear-resistant and heat-resistant; TPU has both anti-slip and wear-resistant properties, suitable for multi-functional uses. Choosing a suitable material combination according to the intensity of work and frequency of wearing will help improve the wearing experience and service life.

Matching standards and certification requirements
When purchasing foot protection products, you should check whether they meet the standards of relevant countries or regions. For example:
China National Standard (GB)
European Standard (EN ISO 20345)
American Standard (ASTM F2413)
Canadian Standard (CSA Z195)
Products with compliance certification are more reliable in terms of protective performance, especially in the fields of corporate procurement and engineering contracting. Standard certification is more conducive to project acceptance and employee protection.

Choose the right size and style
The appropriateness of shoe size is related to the safety and comfort of wearing. Shoes that are too tight can easily cause toe compression and affect blood circulation; shoes that are too loose may slip off when walking, posing a safety hazard. It is recommended that employees try on shoes in the afternoon when their feet swell slightly to ensure comfort.
In view of the differences in foot shapes between male and female employees, some brands such as Greateagle will provide male and female models, or customize to meet special size requirements, which will help improve the fit.

Pay attention to wearing comfort and breathability
Feet that are in a closed state for a long time are prone to fatigue or sweat, affecting work efficiency. Therefore, it is very important to choose shoes with good breathability, soft shoe lining, and insoles with moisture absorption and perspiration function. Some brands are also equipped with shock-absorbing structures to relieve discomfort caused by standing or walking for a long time.

Consider corporate procurement and cost control
When companies purchase foot protection products in bulk, they should not only focus on the unit price, but also comprehensively consider the product's protective performance, service life, adaptability and employee feedback. High-frequency replacement may instead cause cost increases.
Greateagle can provide stable products that meet industry standards and can customize brand LOGO, packaging and functional configuration, which is suitable for long-term cooperation with companies.

Pay attention to the maintenance and replacement cycle of the product
Foot protection products are not "once and for all" equipment and should be replaced in time according to actual usage conditions. Replacement should be considered in the following situations:
The sole is severely worn and loses anti-slip performance;
The steel head or sole structure is damaged;
The anti-static, insulation and other functions fail due to aging;
The waterproof and protective effects are reduced due to damage to the upper.
Regular inspection and maintenance can extend the service life of shoes and reduce potential risks.
