Top 5 safety shoes for the catering and hospitality sectors

Discover the top 5 pairs of safety shoes for the catering and hospitality sectors. From the kitchen to festivals: comfortable, slip-resistant and ready for long working days.



Safety and comfort go hand in hand with hospitality

Do you work in a hotel, restaurant or café? Do you ensure guests have a good time at an event, festival or trade fair? Then no two working days are the same. You do a lot of walking, the pace is fast and you work long hours in an environment that is constantly changing. That calls for the right kit!


The floor is still wet and slippery from the cleaning product; someone knocks over a glass of drink; you bump into a crate; or a hot pan falls over. For you, this isn’t an exception, but part of your daily work. Good safety shoes help you in such situations and ensure that a minor mishap doesn’t turn into an accident. They offer protection with a non-slip sole, a safety toe cap where necessary, puncture-resistant soles, a water-repellent upper, anti-static properties and more smart technologies. And they also guarantee ultimate comfort. This is important, because when you’ve been on your feet for hours, that’s when you really notice just how much your feet have had to endure.


 


If the shoe fits…

But which safety shoe fits best depends on your needs, working environment and the nature of your work. A chef simply has different requirements to an events staff member or someone operating the rides at an amusement park. EMMA Safety Footwear has therefore put together a selection of safety shoes that are suited to the diverse tasks and dynamic nature of the catering and hospitality sector. Because there isn’t just one safety shoe that suits everyone.


Grip on slippery floors

In the catering and hospitality sectors, water, oil, grease, food scraps or cleaning products regularly end up on the floor. This can cause you to slip and injure yourself. Good grip is therefore essential. Our safety shoes are fitted with slip-resistant outsoles that ensure maximum grip and stability whilst walking, turning and standing.    


Comfortable all day long

Everyone in the catering and hospitality sectors knows this: long days are the rule rather than the exception, and your job is physically demanding. A barman stands behind the bar for hours, a member of the waiting staff is constantly walking back and forth, and at trade fairs, too, you cover quite a few metres. Comfort is therefore not a luxury, but essential for getting through the day feeling fit and energetic. A good safety shoe moulds to your foot, provides support and helps to reduce strain. With shock-absorbing properties, lightweight materials and our unique energy-return system, we take comfort to the next level.
 

Working safely

In a conference centre, at an event venue and behind the scenes at a festival, you need shoes that can take a knock. After all, you’re working in spaces that aren’t yet finished. There’s stuff lying around everywhere and crates and tools are constantly being lugged about. In the kitchen, too, you’ll find sturdy footwear very useful, given the risk of hot liquids, falling knives or broken crockery. With puncture-resistant soles, steel toe caps and w

Roy S2
Whether you work in the kitchen or in technical services: the Roy S2 is your versatile safety shoe. This all-rounder from our Worker collection is easy to clean, perfect for damp working environments and available in two widths. The steel toe cap protects your toes from falling objects, and the ‘sticky grip’ of the GripForce® Easy Twist sole ensures ultimate slip resistance.


Venus S2
Are you looking for robust and reliable footwear? Then you’ll find what you’re after in a shoe from our Workers collection. Take the Venus S2, for example. The safety shoe for damp conditions. This slip-on features a special sole with ‘sticky grip’ to prevent you from slipping and ensure you always have a firm footing. The unique energy-return system prevents tired feet, and the upper is easy to clean. That’s no luxury in a food-safe environment!


Treviso

Without compromising on safety. Because Treviso features a water-repellent upper, an impermeable sole and extra grip on all surfaces. That’s a real bonus, as you’re naturally working in an environment with slippery floors, sharp objects and heavy goods.
