It is recommended to choose safety boots instead of safety shoes, such as the neoprene safety protective boots or the TDT triple-density injection molded chemical protective boots.

Q: Can safety shoes protect against chemicals?

A: We do not recommend using safety shoes to protect against chemicals. When there is a risk of chemical damage to the feet, please choose chemical protective boots instead of safety shoes, such as neoprene safety protective boots or the TDT triple-density injection molded chemical protective boots.
