3. Anti-static safety shoes:

- Direct the static electricity of the human body to the ground to prevent the accumulation of static electricity from causing fire or explosion.

- Sole made of loose electric material such as PU or PVC.

- Suitable for pharmaceutical factory, food factory, electronics factory clean workshop, laboratory and other electrostatic sensitive places.

4. Electrical insulation safety shoes:

- Prevent electric shock accidents within a certain voltage range to protect the safety of electrical operators.

- The sole and upper of the shoe are made of insulating material and do not contain metal parts.

- Suitable for the power industry, electrical equipment maintenance and other need to contact electricity working environment.

5. Acid and alkali safety shoes:

- Used in workplaces with acid, alkali and other corrosive solutions on the floor.

- Soles and upper materials should have good acid and alkali resistance and permeability resistance.

- Suitable for chemical industry and other places that need to contact corrosive substances.

6. Anti-oil and anti-slip safety shoes:

- Suitable for areas of oil or oil splashing working environment, while providing anti-skid function.

- The sole is made of anti-slip and wear-resistant material, and the upper is easy to clean.

- Suitable for catering, hotel, logistics and other industries.

7. Cold safety shoes:

- Used for foot protection of low-temperature workers to prevent frostbite.

- Shoes filled with thermal materials such as fur or felt boots.

- Suitable for workplaces in cold environments.

8. Waterproof safety shoes:

- Used in ground water or splashing working environment to ensure dry feet.

- The vamp is made of waterproof material, and the sole is non-slip and wear-resistant.

- Suitable for aquatic products, salt flats, mining and other humid environment.

Second, according to other classification standards

In addition to being classified by protective function, safety shoes can also be classified according to other criteria, such as:

- Classified by style: long safety shoes, short safety shoes, no safety shoes, etc.

- Classified by material: cowhide safety shoes, artificial leather safety shoes, rubber safety shoes, etc.

- Classification by use: general safety shoes, special industry safety shoes (such as steelmaking shoes, oil field shoes, etc.).

To sum up, there are many kinds of safety shoes, and the appropriate type should be determined according to the specific working environment and protection needs. At the same time, the quality and performance of safety shoes are also crucial, and it is necessary to ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations to ensure the safety of workers' feet.
