When wearing safety footwear, stability underfoot is paramount, especially in high-risk environments. A simple misstep can lead to injury, time off work—or worse. That’s why it’s essential to choose safety footwear with slip-resistant outsoles that match the real conditions you face on the job.
At STC, we design slip-resistant safety footwear that are 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 confirm 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
