When it comes to safety footwear, underfoot stability is critical, especially in high-risk environments. A simple misstep can lead to injury, time off work—or worse. That’s why choosing safety footwear equipped with the right slip-resistant outsole for your specific work conditions is so important!
At STC, we design slip-resistant safety footwear that's rigorously tested by SATRA, a globally recognized independent laboratory. Each model is evaluated for slip resistance according to the EN ISO 13287:2019 standard on various surfaces (dry, wet, oily, icy) to evaluate both performance and safety category.
You’ll find the following slip-resistance icons on the footwear labels or product pages:
- Blue: for icy environments
- Yellow: for dry, wet, and oily surfaces
- Green: for dry and wet surfaces
