Functional in detail, modern in look – Karlowsky combines reliable equipment with practical comfort for every day.
Women power at work: the role of safety shoes
In many professions, women are physically challenged every day – often for many hours at a time. The primary purpose of safety shoes is protection. In the hospitality industry, they reliably protect against the risk of slipping on wet floors or against falling objects. In medicine and nursing, they offer a secure hold during quick movements. In addition, ergonomically shaped soles and insoles cushion hard steps – a clear advantage when standing or walking for long periods.
Our modern safety shoes for women are also cut for a precise fit, lightweight and comfortable – without sacrificing protective features in accordance with EN ISO 20345 such as steel toe caps or slip-resistant soles. They therefore combine safety, comfort and hygiene – making them an indispensable item in every industry.
EN ISO 20345 – what makes a safety shoe and what does S1 mean?
A safety shoe is a specially developed work shoe that protects the feet from typical hazards in the workplace – such as falling objects, sharp materials, the risk of slipping or chemical substances. The protection classes are defined in the EN ISO 20345 standard and specify the requirements a shoe must meet.
Along with S3, S1 is one of the most common safety classes and stands for the following features:
- Toe cap: protection against impacts of up to 200 joules (e.g. falling tools or equipment).
- Closed heel area: for additional stability and safety.
- Antistatic properties: protection against electrical charging.
- Energy absorption in the heel area: cushioning when standing or walking for long periods.
- Fuel- and oil-resistant sole: for safe use on slippery or oily floors.
S1 shoes are particularly suitable for dry working environments such as hospitality, service or nursing – wherever comfort and protection are equally important.
Women’s safety shoes are particularly in demand in these areas:
- Hospitality: protection against hot liquids, sharp objects and slippery kitchen floors.
- Medicine: hygiene, easy-to-clean surfaces and a stable hold when walking quickly or during long shifts.
- Nursing: safe working during close physical care, protection against injuries and support on long walking routes.
- Cleaning & housekeeping: slip resistance and a high ability to withstand heavy use.
- Service & catering: a professional appearance combined with wearing comfort and protection in hectic working environments.
- Laboratories & pharmacies: safety when handling substances, antistatic properties and hygienic cleaning possible.
Ergonomics and comfort with Karlowsky safety shoes – to make long working days easier
Anyone who works in hospitality, nursing, medicine or service often stands and walks for hours – which puts a strain on the feet, joints and back. This is exactly where Karlowsky safety shoes come in: they combine protection in accordance with EN ISO 20345 with well-thought-out ergonomics and high wearing comfort.
Anatomically shaped PE insoles and shock-absorbing midsoles cushion hard steps – especially during long shifts.
A breathable inner lining ensures a pleasant temperature for the feet, while pressure-free fits and lightweight materials allow freedom of movement. Karlowsky shows that safety shoes do not have to pinch, weigh you down or tire you out – they can offer real comfort.
Materials, look and care – this is what perfect safety shoes for women look like
With a safety shoe for women, it is not only functionality and ergonomics that play a role, but also the look and the materials. The upper material of each of our three models is made of a supple synthetic leather, in black or white, with a matching breathable inner lining made of textile or Airmesh. The outsoles are made of robust plastic and are slip-resistant.
Two of our models are available with a steel toe cap, the other with a plastic toe cap. In accordance with EN ISO 20345, these protect against impacts of up to 200 joules from falling objects. In addition, the materials used ensure low weight and high wearing comfort throughout the entire working day.
Look and designs
Different designs bring some variety to the simplicity of a work shoe. Light-coloured seams or decorative holes on the sides give the shoe a modern touch and set it apart from other women’s safety shoes. The shoes are available in sizes 35 to 47.
Care of safety shoes (women)
All models are machine washable. Some can be washed in a normal coloured wash at 40 degrees, while a gentle wash cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees is recommended for others.
