Waterproof work shoes for winter

Waterproof work shoes are fully protected against water penetration. Water does not penetrate the material of the shoe and is thus permanently%26nbsp;protected from moisture. Wet socks are very uncomfortable and not good for your health. We recommend wearing these waterproof work shoes if you work in a humid environment for a long time. A lot of body heat is lost through the legs. The waterproof shoe

%26nbsp;has a special waterproof membrane and an inner lining with taped seams. This prevents water from penetrating.

Work shoes and therefore also work boots are divided into safety standards. S2 or S3 standard work shoes are dirt- and water-resistant. Waterproof is also different from waterproof. Waterproof means that the work shoe lets in as little water as possible in a short period of time. The faster water gets in, the more it seeps through the shaft.

And then you suffer blisters, cold veins and poor hygiene. Working with wet feet is not pleasant either. The Netherlands has frequent rains and harsh winters, with constant hail and rain during the cold winter months. Waterproof work shoes or work shoes that cannot withstand water at all are less pleasant in autumn and winter.
