Softer sole stops slips

Slip resistance was a decisive factor when MASCOT began to develop its new safety footwear (launched in 2010). As a minimum, the special sole construction had to meet the EN ISO 13287 norm. The two sole types that MASCOT then launched met the demands of both the soap on ceramic (SRA) and oil on steel (SRB), thereby obtaining an automatic SRC recognition - the best standard for slip resistance.

Earlier this year, MASCOT launched three new pairs of safety shoes which are all SRC recognised.

The newly developed sole is now more flexible as it is made of a very soft, supple rubber material, meaning even better surface contact.
