Safety footwear for professional use, incorporating features to protect the wearer from injuries which could arise through accidents in the working sectors for which the footwear was designed. Fitted with steel toecaps, designed to give protection against impact when tested at an energy level of 200 joules.

|
Occupational footwear for professional use, incorporating features to protect the wearer from injuries which could arise through accidents in the working sectors for which the footwear was designed. This footwear does not contain a steel toecap.

PENETRATION RESISTANCE (STEEL MIDSOLE) |
|
HEAT RESISTANT OUTSOLE |
| |
A stainless steel plate incorporated into the sole to prevent the penetration of sharp objects. This feature is particulary suitable for people involved in outdoor work and in the construction industry. Goliath footwear that includes this feature is designed to withstand a nail puncturing the sole with a force of 1100 Newtons.
|
|
Footwear with heat resistant soles have been tested in accordance with the European Standard to withstand direct contact with a 300°C heat source for a minimum of 60 seconds without detriment to the sole.

|
ENERGY ABSORBING HEEL |
|
ANTISTATIC |
| |
It has been scientifically proven that even in a normal walking action a downward force in excess of your body weight is placed on the heel of your foot. This in turn creates shock waves that travel up your legs and body causing muscle and joint fatigue. Goliath footwear with energy absorbing heels have been developed to absorb a minimum energy level of 20 joules to take the shock out of the heel area.
|
|
Antistatic footwear should be used if it is necessary to minimise electrostatic build up to avoid the risk of spark ignition. Goliath footwear have a resistance level that will dissipate static electricity whilst still providing reasonable protection against mains voltage. This resistance is between 100kW and 1000mW when tested in accordance with EN ISO 20344.

WATER RESISTANT UPPERS |
|
FUEL OIL RESISTANT OUTSOLE |
| |
The upper leather offers protection against water penetration and absorption and is tested in accordance with EN ISO 20344. This is enhanced when stitched holes are sealed to prevent water seeping through the holes.
|
|
All Goliath safety and occupational footwear have been tested for resistance against fuel oil. This is to ensure the sole will not swell or become brittle and crack when worn in harsh industrial environments.
