• Impact resistance: The safety shoe should be able to withstand the impact of a falling object without crushing the toes. The minimum impact resistance required is typically 200 joules.
• Puncture resistance: The safety shoe should be able to withstand the penetration of a sharp object without piercing the sole. The minimum puncture resistance required is typically 1100N.
• Slip resistance: The safety shoe should have a slip-resistant sole to prevent slipping on wet or oily surfaces.
• Chemical resistance: The safety shoe should be resistant to chemicals that may be present in the workplace. This is typically achieved by using a chemical-resistant material in the upper of the shoe.
• Comfort: The safety shoe should be comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time. This is important because if your feet are uncomfortable, you are more likely to take shortcuts that could lead to an accident.
• Durability: The safety shoe should be durable and withstand the rigors of the workplace. This means that you can be confident that your safety shoes will protect your feet for a long time.

In addition to these standards and specifications, there are a number of other factors that you may want to consider when choosing a safety footwear, such as the type of work you do, the environment you work in as well as your personal preferences.
