One of the most important elements of equipment in this profession is specialised footwear that can withstand extreme conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What a welder faces in the workplace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every day a welder is exposed to a number of serious risks. These can include burns from hot metal, as well as injuries from heavy parts falling on their feet. You have to work in industrial facilities and on construction sites, where working conditions are far from ideal. Therefore, such qualities of protective footwear as durability and competent selection of materials used by the manufacturer for design solutions are important. That is why <a href=\"https:\/\/talanshop.de\/en\/all-safety-shoes\/\"><strong>buy safety shoes in Germany<\/strong><\/a> is your investment in your health and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protective footwear for welders must ensure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heat resistance. The sole and upper of the shoe must not quickly melt or ignite from sparks and metal droplets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protect against punctures and impacts. Especially in the toe and sole area of the shoe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stable fixation of the foot. This helps to prevent the foot from rolling over on unstable surfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comfort and ventilation. So that the feet do not overheat inside the shoe, even if there is heat and flames all around.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which standards welding shoes must fulfil in Germany<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Germany, safety footwear for welders must comply with the strict EN ISO 20349 standard, which complements the more general EN ISO 20345 standard but takes into account the specific risks of working in hot shops. It is EN ISO 20349 that regulates the resistance of footwear to contact with hot metal, sparks and resistance to high temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, it is worth paying attention to the following markings when selecting footwear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HI &#8211; heat insulation of the sole.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HRO &#8211; heat resistant rubber withstanding up to 300\u00b0C.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WRU &#8211; moisture resistant upper part of the shoe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>S3 or S5 &#8211; presence of an underfoot, anti-puncture insole and closed construction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also relevant are models with an elongated shank, which protects not only the foot, but also part of the shin from hot particles entering the shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to pay attention to when choosing footwear for a welder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Comfort and protection should go together. Here are some practical tips from experts to help you choose the right pair of safety shoes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Upper materials. It is preferable to choose shoes that use fire-resistant leather with a smooth texture. It is easier to clean from metal splashes and dirt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Closed fittings. All metal elements must be additionally insulated so that they do not heat up and burn the skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The presence of an anti-spark valve. Special overlays on top of the laces prevent hot particles from getting inside and protect the laces from breaking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Durable sole. Which is resistant to temperature, yet with good grip on the surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many models also feature cushioning inserts, an antibacterial insole and a reinforced heel for extra stability when working in a standing position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talan is reliable protection for welders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talan has a long-established reputation as a manufacturer of reliable safety footwear, also for welding work.
