How to choose the shoe size of safety shoes?

When choosing the shoe size of safety shoes, it is necessary to consider a number of factors to ensure the comfort and protective performance of the shoes. Here are some specific options:

First, understand the size characteristics of safety shoes

Size on the large side: Usually, safety shoes are half a size to a size larger than normal shoes. This is because the front of the safety shoe needs to be installed with protective steel head, so there will be a certain margin in the design.

Try on: Despite the above general rules, there may be differences between different brands and models of safety shoes. Therefore, the most reliable way is to choose the right size by trying it on.

Second, precautions when trying on

Front tip margin: When trying on, you should ensure that the front tip of the safety shoe has a certain margin, especially considering the hard steel head at the front of the safety shoe. If you stand for a long time, your toes should have enough room to move to avoid injury caused by long-term squeezing.

Heel fitting: The heel of the safety shoe should not be tight or loose, which is not tight enough to cause discomfort, but also loose enough to affect the stability of walking.

Upper comfort: The upper should not squeeze the instep, and should ensure that the instep has sufficient comfort.

Waist socket and foot arch: the waist socket part should fit with the foot arch, and the waist should be close to the foot body to provide better support and comfort.

Third, measure foot length and toe circumference (optional)

If it is not convenient to try on, you can also roughly determine the size of the safety shoe by measuring the foot length and toe circumference. The specific methods are as follows:

Foot length measurement: Keep your legs parallel and your weight evenly distributed, and use a ruler or a soft ruler to measure the distance from your heel to the tip of your longest toe.

Toe circumference measurement: find out the thumb and little finger of the foot more prominent points, with a soft ruler around the convex point to measure a week, pay attention to the flexibility of the soft ruler.

Fourth, refer to the sneaker size

Since the size of safety shoes is generally too large, and its design is originally designed to provide adequate protection and comfort, you can choose safety shoes with reference to the size of sports shoes you usually wear. If the size of the sneakers you usually wear is accurate, it is usually appropriate to buy safety shoes in the same size.

Fifth, follow the principle of "bigger than smaller"

If you are hesitant between two sizes, it is recommended to choose a slightly larger size. Because safety shoes need to provide enough space and comfort for the feet, especially when worn for a long time or for high-intensity work. Choosing a slightly larger size will ensure that your toes have enough room to move and reduce discomfort caused by prolonged wear.

To sum up, when choosing the shoe size of safety shoes, it should be mainly tried on, and refer to the measurement results of foot length and toe circumference as well as the size of sports shoes usually worn. In the case of not being able to try on, you can follow the principle of "rather big than small" to choose the size.
