How do safety shoe soles work to prevent slipping?

1. Rough Pattern and Uneven Design: The Safety Shoes utilize intentional uneven patterns and irregular height differences to increase the actual contact area, thereby increasing the coefficient of friction with the ground and achieving dry slip resistance.
2. Material Elasticity and Resilience: Using rubber or polyurethane materials with a moderate hardness allows the soles to quickly recover their shape after being compressed, maintaining continuous grip and preventing slippage caused by material hardening.
3. Dual Gripping and Adsorption Mechanism: Some anti-slip soles incorporate tiny anti-slip particles or anti-slip blocks between the patterns. These utilize microscopic gripping (mechanical resistance) and adsorption (increasing localized pressure) to further enhance anti-slip performance.
4. Drainage and Anti-fouling Structure: Drainage grooves or holes designed into the soles quickly drain away water film, preventing the formation of a "liquid film" that reduces friction and ensures grip even in wet conditions.
How do safety shoes maintain their anti-slip performance in oily, wet, and slippery environments?

1. Specialized Oil-Resistant and Anti-Slip Formula

Using specially formulated rubber or synthetic materials, the sole maintains a coefficient of friction of ≥ 0.45 even on oily surfaces, meeting the anti-slip requirements of high-risk industries such as the petrochemical industry.

2. Multi-Layered Surfaces and Oil-Draining Grooves

The sole features oil-specific grooves and gripping particles that mechanically lock onto the oil film, preventing slipping. The combination of wide and narrow treads facilitates rapid oil drainage, maintaining a dry contact surface.

3. Compliance with National and International Standards

Tested according to GB21148-2007 and European SRC standards, the anti-slip area covers key areas of the sole (forefoot, forefoot, and sides) to ensure consistent grip on wet or oily surfaces.

4. Regular Maintenance and Cleaning

Anti-slip performance can be affected by dirt and clogging. It is recommended to promptly remove oil and dirt after use to keep the treads clear and unobstructed to maintain the stability of the anti-slip effect.
