Safety classes explained: SB, SBP and S1P
SB is the entry level under EN ISO 20345 – 200‑joule steel toe and slip‑resistant sole. SBP adds P, i.e., puncture protection in the sole area. S1P goes further and adds antistatic A, heel energy absorption E, a closed heel, and fuel resistance FO. For everyday steel toe sneakers, SBP or S1P are usually sensible because they include crucial puncture protection. Choose S1P safety shoes with toe cap if you work on mixed surfaces and need antistatic properties plus heel cushioning. SBP is a robust, budget‑conscious choice for dry indoor areas with risks from sharp objects.
Who are steel toe sneakers for
In logistics and warehousing, you benefit from easy roll‑off and slip resistance over many steps per day. In trades and assembly, the steel toe and puncture protection safeguard you without unnecessary weight. In hospitality and service, the sneaker design offers grip and a clean, modern look. In care, transport, and facility management, work sneakers are practical if you move frequently between indoor and outdoor areas. Available as steel toe sneakers for women and men, matched to your job.

Replace your work shoes when tread, cushioning, or upper materials noticeably degrade.
FAQ
Which is better, steel toe or aluminum toe
Steel is extremely robust, impact‑resistant, and often more affordable. Aluminum is lighter but usually needs more volume for the same protection. For many uses, steel is the durable choice with strong value – that’s why Shraks relies on steel toes.
How long can you wear work shoes
It depends on use and environment. Common signs to replace: flattened tread, reduced cushioning, damaged uppers, or visible deformation of toe cap and sole. With daily use, 6 to 12 months is a realistic guideline.
What’s the difference between SB and S1
SB is basic protection with a steel toe. S1 adds antistatic A, heel energy absorption E, a closed heel, and FO. For many safety sneakers, S1P is particularly relevant since P adds puncture protection.
Who pays for safety work shoes
If safety footwear is mandated by the risk assessment, employers typically provide it or cover the cost. Details are governed by company agreements or collective bargaining – check with HR or your safety officer.
