To help you in your search, our team at Everflex gathered tips on what to look out for when buying a pair of non-slip shoes. These are essential characteristics to keep you safe and protected while doing your job.

 

Characteristics and Features

 

The peace of mind you get from knowing you are safe from accidental slips while performing your job is incomparable. In addition, wearing the correct non-slip shoes will prevent injuries and free your feet, heels, toes, ankles, and calves from pain and discomfort.

 

Lucky for you, Everflex has a good selection that will keep you safe and slip-free.

 

1. Anti-skid Soles

 

You can identify non-slip shoes when there's an indication in the box or online description. However, that is not always the case. The outsole of a decent pair of non-slip shoes is slightly rounded on the sides and composed of durable ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) rubber, a synthetic foam-like material used frequently in the outsoles and midsoles of many types of footwear.

 

What is this different from a regular footwear sole? The typical soles are flat, allowing liquids to get underneath, causing slips and falls. Soles of non-slip shoes can hold onto the floor even when slippery or greasy.

 

In addition, the soles of non-slip shoes should be light, flexible, and soft, even if you want durability. These characteristics will absorb shock and prevent fatigue. Additionally, a softer rubber sole typically offers optimum traction on slick terrain.

 

2. Tread Pattern

 

Another essential feature to look out for when choosing non-slip shoes is the tread pattern. The bottom of the outsole will have circles, hexagons, or squiggles. These treads will help your non-slip shoes grip the floor firmly as they create friction.

 

In addition, they aid in increasing the sole's surface area and catching against uneven surfaces to reduce the risk of falling or tripping. We recommend getting smaller patterns as they have better resistance.

Additionally, there should be at least 2mm space between the individual shape of your non-slip shoes' tread pattern.

 

3. Material of the Shoe

 

The perfect material for your non-slip shoes must be flexible, malleable, and adaptable. Hard materials tend to be too stiff, causing poor grip. Our non-slip shoes have these characteristics to keep you safe at work.

 

We provide the best footwear ideal for nurses, doctors, dentists, baristas, servers, and more. The non-slip shoes at Everflex are 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Are you confused with your Everflex size?

 

You can consult our handy size guide, which allows you to compare with your UK, US, and EU counterparts. Use our clear filter categories to easily see the size guide and choose your styles and colours. In addition, all our stores posted size guides on their walls.

 

If you know your size in any of these three systems, you can locate your Everflex size.

 

Additional Reminders

 

Did you know that the best time to buy footwear is in the afternoon? Your feet naturally expand during the day, so you may want to measure them in the afternoon when they are at their biggest. It is critical to test out the features of this footwear if you plan to purchase it in a physical store.

 

While you might not find a wet or sticky floor, a shiny and slick floor will do. Please check these other features to keep your non-slip shoes perfect for work. These are:

 

  • Cushioned collars
  • Midsole padding for maximum comfort
  • Adequate toe boxes

The Importance of Wearing Non-Slip Shoes

 

Some common types of fatal work injuries result from tripping and falling. These common injuries that result from not wearing non-slip shoes are:

 

  1. Broken bones. Bones grow more brittle as individuals age, and while some fractured bones can heal naturally without surgery, others need screws to hold them together.

 

  1. Back injury. Trips and falls are the most common causes of back injuries. If you're unlucky, you might find yourself needing spinal surgery. Choose non-slip shoes.

 

  1. Head injury. Head injury is one of the more damaging effects of accidental falls. We don't want you hitting your head the wrong way because it can lead to paralysis or permanent brain damage.

 

  1. Hip fracture. This injury is one of the longer ones to heal and can chip away at your independence. There are times you may need to rely on others to move around. To prevent this, get yourself a pair of non-slip shoes.

 

  1. Internal organ damage. Some falls result in internal organ damage on x-rays days after the accident. You can avoid all these with the proper non-slip shoes.

 

But, again, essential workers and front liners are critical. If they sustain these injuries from workplace mishaps like falling, they will necessitate time off work. Moreover, recovery can take days, even months, depending on the severity.

 

And we at Everflex don't want that to happen, so we made sure all our non-slip shoes are of top quality and would provide the protection you need from these injuries.
