PPE Footwear Accessories

The most common accessories for work shoes include ergonomic non-slip insoles, protective toe caps, heat and abrasion resistant laces, waterproof overboots and heel protectors. These accessories extend the life of the PPE footwear and increase the comfort and safety of the wearer. The accessories fit a variety of PPE footwear models, including steel toe safety shoes and work shoes with non-slip soles. RAG Tailors offers a selection of proven work shoe accessories that are ideal for demanding industrial environments.

To choose the right accessories, it is important to consider the risks in your work environment, the type of footwear you are using (protective boots, PPE shoes, etc.) and the comfort you want. For example, waterproof overboots are ideal for tasks in wet environments. In places where you come into contact with slippery surfaces, non-slip insoles offer greater safety. RAG Tailors recommends that you review the standards in your sector and ensure that the accessories are compatible with your safety footwear. The right combination will improve performance and extend the durability of your PPE.

The main difference lies in the material used and the level of comfort. PPE shoes with a steel toe cap offer excellent impact resistance up to 200 Joules, as required by EN ISO 20345. Models with a composite toe cap are lighter and do not conduct thermal or electrical energy, making them ideal for environments with safety sensors or electrical hazards. Both models are compatible with protective footwear accessories, depending on the task. RAG Tailors offers both types, allowing the ideal choice for those looking for a combination of robustness, comfort and safety.

Keeping safety footwear in good condition increases its effectiveness and safety. It is recommended to clean it regularly with a damp cloth, avoid continuous exposure to chemicals and dry it at room temperature, away from heat sources. Regularly replacing accessories such as insoles and laces also contributes to comfort and durability. RAG Tailors recommends inspecting the condition of the protective toe cap and the non-slip sole. Proper maintenance, combined with the use of specific work footwear accessories, ensures that professional footwear is always effective and safe.

PPE footwear accessories are recommended for professions with a high risk of impact, slipping, contamination or contact with aggressive agents. They are widely used in the construction industry, metallurgy, chemicals, industrial cleaning, logistics and the food sector. Professionals who work in humid environments or at extreme temperatures benefit from accessories such as thermal overboots and insulating insoles. The RAG Tailors accessories collection adapts to different models of safety footwear, offering specific solutions that improve protection and performance in each professional role.

Although PPE footwear accessories are not certified as PPE in themselves, they must be compatible with footwear that meets EN ISO standards, such as EN ISO 20345 for safety footwear with a protective toecap or EN ISO 20347 for professional footwear without a toecap. Accessories must meet safety, strength and ergonomic criteria. RAG Tailors carefully selects suppliers who guarantee quality and regulatory compatibility, providing products that effectively complement professional footwear with non-slip soles and other essential features for occupational protection.
