SC
Safety shoes with the SC (Scuff Cap) requirement, compliant with EN ISO 20345, are equipped with a toe cap protective cover with high resistance to surface abrasion, tested using the Martindale method with 8,000 rubbing cycles. The Martindale test evaluates the durability of the material in the toe area by simulating mechanical wear caused by repeated contact with abrasive surfaces. This requirement ensures work shoes capable of maintaining protective features and aesthetic integrity over time, even in the most severe working conditions. Safety shoes with the SC requirement are particularly suitable for those working in environments with rough, abrasive surfaces or where the toe cap is subject to continuous rubbing, such as construction sites, industrial flooring, stone or ceramic processing and warehouses with low metal shelving.
