Safety shoes with 'Fast-Lace'
The 'Fast-Lace' system provides an alternative to the traditional laces. The traditional laces are replaced by stainless steel wires, connected to a turning knob, that is placed on the tongue of the safety shoe. By turning the knob clockwise you are fastening the wire laces, stop when it feels secure and comfortable to wear the safety shoe. To loosen the pressure, pull the knob upwards (quick release) and you can loosen the safety shoe completely. Remember to press the knob down once you want to tighten the wire laces.
The smart thing about the 'Fast-Lace' closure is that it repels sand, oils and mud. This gives you more time to focus on your work instead of cleaning and tightening your laces on the safety shoe all the time during the day.
When should safety footwear be inspected?
Each time they are worn, safety shoes should be checked for any damage, including holes, mud, and buckles. Safety footwear should be cleaned and stored in a clean, dry area when not in use. This will help remaining comfort for a longer period of time
How durable are work boots?
There is no set rule for how long safety boots should last or when to change your safety gear, but after six months to a year of regular use, shoes and boots frequently start to exhibit noticeable symptoms of wear and get symptoms of wear on the midsole.
