Product quality

In addition to choosing for (more) sustainable materials, we also focus on extending the service life of our shoes. By using materials and testing them thoroughly, we ensure that our products will last as long as possible.

Safety standards

All of our shoes meet the European safety requirements for safety footwear. This sounds logical, but it is still worth mentioning. Many requirements have been set for producing safety footwear. For example, in the area of slip resistance, the prevention of physical and mechanical risks and ergonomic aspects. All requirements are listed in the ISO standard for personal protective equipment (ISO 20345:2011).

Because our products are sold in Europe, a CE certificate is required as well. This shows that a product has been tested and meets the requirements as set by the European Union in the area of health, safety and environmental protection. The CE certificates for all of the shoes in our product range can be downloaded at allshoes.eu or the relevant brand websites. Additionally, each shoe box contains a booklet, hang tag or information sheet that explains the CE marking on the shoe, the corresponding ISO standards and a statement of conformity.

Tests for quality and comfort

To meet the quality requirements within the ISO standards, our footwear is properly tested by our suppliers. This is how we ensure that we have used the most wear-resistant materials and that shoes will not simply fall apart if a specific movement is made often. For example, the dent resistance of the protective nose is measured in the test area by, for example, allowing a heavy weight to fall from a height onto the nose. This is how we test that it does not become more dented than the maximum amount permitted. Our footwear is also subjected to numerous tests that measure the quality of, for example, ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge), slip resistance, material strength, anti-perforation and flexibility.

In addition to these standard quality requirements, we feel it is important to go yet another step further. Footwear is certified according to many mechanical tests, but the wearing comfort is just as important. Naturally, we want people who wear safety footwear to be able to enjoy their shoes for as long as possible. This is why new collections are subject to a wear test. We have real professionals test different versions of the footwear for this at their work. This is how we obtain feedback that can really be used and, in the end, we produce the most comfortable version on the market.

Materials and technologies

Several shoes in our collection are manufactured on the basis of proven and known technologies such as GORE-TEX®, XL Extralight®, Vibram® and BOA® .

By combining quality and technology, all parts of the footwear and the entire footwear structure focuses on maximum performance and a long service life. For example, our Grisport Ranger models. In this collection, the knowledge and quality of 3 premium brands (Grisport, GORE-TEX® and Vibram®) come together in one shoe.
