How to choose the best shoe for indoor work

Does your indoor job require specific characteristics for your footwear that you are unaware of? Choosing the most suitable safety footwear should be done while taking into account the specific needs and conditions of each job, but that’s not all.

Even so, to make your decision easier, we have compiled some important information for when you are choosing between indoor or outdoor footwear.

These are some of the aspects to keep in mind.

  • Job requirements
  • Number of hours spent standing
  • Type of job
  • Work environment and conditions

However, to help you better understand how to make your choice, we will clarify a few aspects.


What are the differences?

Outdoor jobs are generally exposed to more adverse conditions such as rain, mud, or dirt. Naturally, safety footwear with more robustness and water-repellent capacity will provide better adaptability to the environment and greater comfort.

Indoor jobs are in dry environments, and therefore do not require the choice of a water-resistant shoe. Hospital and healthcare areas or the catering industry may also need a water-resistant shoe.

Additionally, indoor jobs generally require many hours of walking or standing, which with a comfortable shoe can cease to be an obstacle.


Our suggestions

First of all, although several TOWORKFOR collections are suitable for any indoor job, such as the STREET collection for women, or GREEN, our recommendations are for lighter shoes that provide the comfort needed for work.

In other words, for you to have the best performance in your indoor job, these are the most suitable options:

Urban

The Urban collection consists of eight different sneakers in various colors. Without losing the urban, casual, and modern look, while maintaining all the necessary safety.

Additionally, as they are made with highly resistant textile material, these sneakers have polyester fibers in their composition that give them characteristics such as water resistance, durability, and a factor that is increasingly important: they are eco-friendly.

The Urban models are:

  • waterproof
  • breathable
  • eco-friendly
  • comfortable
  • modern, city look
X-Fast

Next, our second suggestion for indoor jobs is the X-Fast.

These are the lightest TOWORKFOR safety sneakers, making them an excellent bet for jobs that require a lot of walking and constant movement.

Additionally, they allow for excellent foot breathability, which provides comfort throughout their use.

In the same way as the URBAN collection, the X-FAST collection allows for excellent foot breathability, which provides comfort throughout their use.

The X-Fast models are:

  • Breathable
  • Water resistant
  • With Arbol material that makes them reflective
  • Ultra-light and extremely flexible sole
Safety Runners

On the other hand, with a wide variety of models, the Safety Runners stand out with Air Tubeless technology and a rubber sole, which elevates the comfort of this safety footwear.

With Q-Flex insoles, they are puncture-resistant, non-metallic, and non-static.

Furthermore, their ergonomic design makes it easy to put on, and because they are made of microfiber and suede, they are breathable, perfect for hot environments.

Particularly ideal for jobs like couriers, since they do not overheat the foot, and as the microfiber material is waterproof, rain will not be a problem.

With the Safety Runners you can count on:

  • Comfort
  • Ease of putting on
  • Convenience in hot environments
Workout

Finally, our last suggestion is the safety sneakers from the Workout collection. They are composed of a highly breathable and flexible mesh, with a Float insole. An ideal option for long routines of activity.

In addition, the memory foam footbed provides features such as comfort and heel pressure relief. The sole with EVA technology material is extremely lightweight and has shock absorption capacity.

The Warm Up and Super Set models have perspiration absorption capacity.

The Workout models guarantee:

  • lightness
  • comfort
  • flexibility
  • sweat absorption
  • heel relief

Finally, these are our best work footwear suggestions for indoor jobs, which will help you maintain comfort and functionality throughout your day. But there is more!
