Slip-resistant shoes, also known as safety shoes, have soles designed to resist slipping and come in various types for men, women, and children. They are made of durable rubber and can be worn for casual or dressy occasions, as well as in the hospitality, healthcare, gaming, grocery, and maintenance industries.
Also known as safety shoes, slip resistant shoes are those that are made with soles specifically designed to resist slipping. These shoes come in a wide variety of different types. There are loafers, slippers, sandals, and many more types of non-slip shoes. These shoes can be made specifically for men, women, and children.
The sole of non-slip shoes is often made of a durable rubber. When the rubber is molded to meet the specific design of the shoe, the added feature of traction support is created as part of the sole. The outsole is where the traction or slip resistant quality can actually be thick or thin depending on the design and purpose of the shoe. The upper part of the shoe can be made of a variety of materials, from mesh to leather, from plastic to suede.
Non-slip shoes come in loafers. They also come in the traditional Oxford style and lace-up Oxford shoes. There are even non-slip slippers in the top and low-top designs to prevent falls.
Winter shoes are commonly designed with a non-slip sole. These types of non-slip shoes often feature a heavier sole and additional insulation to keep the wearer’s foot insulated from the frigid temperatures common in the colder months.
Dress shoes can also be found with a non-slip sole. These types of dressy shoes are often worn by those who have had trouble with a secure footing or simply don’t want to risk the slippery sole of a leather shoe. The non-slip shoes that are chosen for casual wear vary greatly in price, depending largely on the designer in whose line they are presented.
Non-slip shoes are very popular in the hospitality industry, especially for those who work as waiters in restaurants. These shoes are favored by these types of workers due to the fact that they are in and out of the restaurant kitchen where spills and leaks are common. The healthcare industry is another workplace where non-slip shoes are favored and often even required by some employers. Within the healthcare industry, there is often fluid on the floor, creating an unforeseen danger zone for those who work around you. Those in the gaming industry, as well as grocery stores and maintenance jobs often wear these shoes. Injury due to slipping is something to be avoided, which is why these shoes are a popular footwear choice.
