Professional Shoes

Professional footwear for the healthcare sector must have several fundamental properties: they must be washable and sterilizable, non-slip to prevent falls on wet surfaces, comfortable for long hours on your feet and, preferably, orthopedic to prevent postural problems. At RAG Tailors, we offer hospital clogs that combine these characteristics with high-quality materials that can withstand frequent washing and corrosive substances, keeping the foot protected and the professional comfortable throughout the work shift.

Non-slip footwear is essential in the catering industry because kitchens and service areas often have wet, greasy or food-stained floors, creating extremely slippery surfaces. Professional footwear with certified non-slip soles drastically reduces the risk of falls and accidents at work, which are some of the most common occurrences in this sector. In addition to safety, RAG Tailors models offer protection against splashes of hot liquids, comfort for long working hours and a design that meets the aesthetic demands of the catering industry.

In industrial environments, the materials used in professional footwear must prioritize safety and durability. A steel or composite toe cap is essential for protection against impacts and crushing. The soles must be made of polyurethane or nitrile rubber, offering resistance to oils, chemicals and extreme temperatures. The treated leather or high-density microfiber exterior ensures durability, while breathable and antibacterial linings prevent odors. At RAG Tailors, we develop safety footwear with these top-quality materials, ensuring compliance with European safety standards and adequate protection for each type of industry.

For long days on your feet, opt for professional footwear with ergonomic, shock-absorbing insoles that support the arch of your foot and absorb impact. Look for models with balanced weight distribution, memory foam and good breathability to prevent excessive sweating. The weight of the shoe is also crucial: the lighter it is, the less fatigue you will feel at the end of the day. The flexibility of the shoe should allow for natural movement without compromising support. RAG Tailors develops professional shoes specifically designed to provide comfort during long shifts, combining advanced technologies with high-performance materials.

Waterproof professional shoes have a complete barrier that completely prevents water from entering, making them ideal for environments with constant exposure to liquids, such as industrial kitchens and hospitals. Water-resistant shoes offer limited protection against moisture and small splashes, suitable for occasional exposure to liquids. The difference lies in the technology used: waterproof shoes use special membranes (such as Gore-Tex) or sealed coatings on all seams, while water-resistant shoes only have superficial treatments on the materials. RAG Tailors' professional footwear clearly specifies these properties, allowing you to choose the level of protection that is appropriate to the specific needs of each work environment.

When purchasing professional safety shoes, it is essential to check for the presence of the CE marking, which indicates compliance with European standards, and the EN ISO 20345 certification, the main standard for safety footwear. Also look for specific symbols such as SB (basic protection), S1 to S5 (increasing levels of protection) and additional pictograms for specific properties: HRO (heat resistance), SRC (multi-surface non-slip), ESD (electrostatic dissipation) and CI/HI (thermal insulation). All professional footwear from RAG Tailors strictly complies with these certifications, ensuring not only legal compliance but above all effective user safety.

To maximize the durability of your work shoes, establish a regular cleaning routine: remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean with products suitable for the material (avoid abrasive products on leather). For washable clogs, follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding temperature and products allowed. Alternate between two pairs of shoes to allow complete drying and prevent accelerated wear. Store them in a dry place, away from direct heat sources, and use shoe trees to maintain their shape. Replace worn insoles and periodically check the condition of the soles and stitching. RAG Tailors work shoes are designed for superior durability, but this care will significantly extend their lifespan.
