Kapriol work shoes meet the strict requirements of European standards, offering diversified solutions for every professional sector based on the required protection level.

 

Safety footwear EN ISO 20345
Work shoes mandatorily equipped with a protective toecap resistant to impacts up to 200 Joules and compression up to 1500 daN.
Safety footwear EN ISO 20345:2011
Safety shoes are classified in the classic categories available on the market, ranging from basic SB to S1, S1P, S2, up to the most complete S3 for leather or fabric shoes, extending to category S5 for boots made entirely of rubber or polymers.
Safety footwear EN ISO 20345:2022 (+ A1:2024)
Safety shoes certified according to the new standard, introducing additional test methods and classification. The S3 category is split based on the type of textile anti-perforation insert (S3L or S3S). Advanced categories S6 and S7 are also introduced, incorporating total waterproofing WR and new anti-perforation protection requirements PS or PL.
Professional/occupational work shoes (Without Toecap) – EN ISO 20347
Work footwear for those operating in environments without the risk of forefoot crushing. Toecap-free work shoes guarantee the same quality standards in terms of ergonomics, harmlessness, and durability, despite lacking a protective toe cap.
Professional work shoes EN ISO 20347:2012
Toecap-free work shoes classified in historical categories: from basic OB, through O1 and O2, to category O3 with anti-perforation insert and water-repellent upper.
Professional work shoes EN ISO 20347:2022
Toecap-free work shoes designed according to the latest classification standards: the O3 category is split into O3L and O3S based on the type of textile insert, plus new categories O6 and O7 featuring total waterproofing (WR).

 

Regardless of the reference standard, work shoes can be equipped with optional requirements to address specific risks:

- Stability: additional slip resistance on ceramic with glycerine (SR) and safe grip on ladder rungs (LG). [Available only for 2022 version standards]

- Protection: cold (CI) or heat (HI) insulation and outsole resistance to contact heat (HRO).

- Durability and Comfort: protection of the toecap cover against abrasion (SC), upper resistance to water penetration (WPA, replacing the old WRU code in the 2022 standard) and dissipative properties (ESD) for the protection of sensitive electronic components.

From heavy construction to services, Kapriol ensures ideal work footwear for every profession, combining regulatory protection and maximum operational comfort.
