Metal-free work shoes were developed in response to the problem of heavy, rigid steel work shoes that cause tired feet and limited freedom of movement. These safety shoes have no steel toe cap and no metal midsole, but use non-metallic materials for the protective toe cap and penetration protection. This keeps the work shoe completely metal-free while providing reliable protection without unnecessary weight.

Metal-free work shoes are safety shoeswithout a steel toe cap and without a metal midsole. Protection against impact and penetration is provided by non-metallic materials that comply with the applicable European safety standards. A work shoe without a steel toe cap is therefore a fully fledged alternative to traditional steel work shoes.
In metal-free work shoes, both the protective toe cap and the penetration protection are made without steel. This directly affects how the work shoe performs in temperature differences and in work environments where metal is undesirable, resulting in the following benefits:
No steel toe cap and no metal midsole
Metal-free protective toe cap and metal-free penetration protection
Natural cold-insulating properties due to the absence of metal
No metal components that cause electrical conductivity
FootFellas develops metal-free safety shoes on separate women’s and men’s lasts. Women’s work shoes are made on a specific women’s last, while men’s work shoes are developed on a separate men’s last. All FootFellas safety shoes are certified according to the latest European safety standards, including S3S and S7S, so you can choose a metal-free work shoe that suits your work environment.
Yes. Metal-free work shoes provide protection against impact and penetration in accordance with the applicable safety standards. The exact level of protection depends on the model selected and its certification.
Metal-free work shoes contain no steel in the toe cap or midsole, while work shoes with a steel toe cap do contain these metal components. As a result, metal-free work shoes do not create a cold bridge at low temperatures and contain no metal parts that may be undesirable in certain work environments.
You choose metal-free work shoes when you consciously want no steel in the toe cap and midsole, for example in cold working conditions or in work environments where metal components are undesirable.
