Sporty safety shoes for comfort and style

12 September 2025
A day at work without tired feet?
Do you work long days in logistics, retail or event building? Then, you certainly know the importance of shoes.

Try these top 5 sporty safety shoes!
Comfort is key, but a great look is a bonus. Fortunately, there are plenty of sporty models that combine the properties of work shoes with the look and comfort of sneakers. You'll even want to wear them after work!

In the past, you probably saw safety shoes as something bulky and cumbersome. Not only are such heavy shoes tiring for your feet, they are often not very stylish. So, no wonder that sporty safety shoes are becoming more popular. How can that be done? And are these models truly suitable as safety shoes?


From sports shoe to fashion icon 
Sneakers are a wonderful example. The very first sneakers were undoubtedly the ‘Converse All Star’ (1917), originally a sports shoe. It was only when Adidas launched the ‘Adidas Superstar’ (1969) and Nike the running sneaker ‘Nike Cortez’ (1971), that sports shoes became popular. But it was the launch of  ‘Nike Air Jordan’ (1985) that turned sneakers into a fashion icon. 

Did you know that the word ‘sneaker’ comes from the noise these shoes (don't) make when someone runs in them? It refers to the fact they are so quiet in comparison with hard leather shoes.

  

From fashion icon to work shoe
These days, in 2025, the sneaker is everywhere. No surprise then, that demand arose for sporty safety shoes. Certainly, in sectors when employees are constantly on the move, such as logistics, technology and retail.
