There are standard types of protection used in Europe for work safety boots.
(S4, S5, O5, O4, etc.) The buyer should be informed in detail about these standards, and boots conforming to the appropriate standard for the work environment should be recommended. During the purchase process, the product specifications should be examined, and it should be checked whether it conforms to the standard stated on the label. Considering these factors when selecting safety boots minimizes risks while maximizing user productivity.

WHAT DOES TECHNO-BOOTS PRODUCE FOR YOUR FOOT HEALTH?
For your foot health, you really need shock absorbers.
In recent years, engineers and researchers in the design and development of footwear have found it necessary to measure and determine the impact and rebound performance of various materials and raw materials. Today, footwear can be subjected to impact forces up to ten times the body weight. Therefore, manufacturers are expected to develop and produce products with complex sole structures that provide higher technical performance, reduce foot fatigue, and offer superior comfort.
Healthcare professionals and doctors emphasize the importance of shoe selection for foot health. They offer the following recommendations for choosing healthy footwear.
“When choosing healthy shoes, make sure the sole of the shoe has ‘shock-absorbing’ properties. Otherwise, your foot bones will be negatively affected with every step you take. Shoes made of wood or similar materials, which are inflexible, put excessive strain on the ligaments and joints of the foot, causing constant pain.”
During walking and working, body weight is concentrated at a specific point on the sole of the foot and then distributed to other areas. The shock-absorbing material used in this concentrated area absorbs the weight quickly and transfers it more easily to other areas. This system, along with the use of materials with varying densities in production, ensures healthy walking.
Among foot health complaints, "heel spurs" are the most common. Heel spurs are a type of inflammation of the plantar fascia. The most important complaint is pain. Inappropriate shoe choices, working in jobs that require standing for long periods, and poor gait, such as putting excessive weight on the heel while walking, are the main causes of heel spurs developing in later years.
Standing for long periods of time causes health problems such as fatigue, swelling, back pain, and generalized tiredness. The shock absorber system prevents the formation of heel spurs by reducing the load on the heel. Therefore, it also prevents the occurrence of pain such as generalized fatigue and back pain.
Thanks to Techno-Boots' dual-density shock absorber system, for the first time in boot history, all our customers will experience and enjoy this comfort, ease, and health benefits.
Healthy feet will stay healthy for many years to come from wearing Techno-Boots boots with shock absorbers. Your foot health is important to Techno-Boots.
Shoe and boot soles tend to slip depending on the surface they are in contact with. This slipping can disrupt the balance of the person wearing the boot, increasing the risk of an accident. While many factors influence slipping, the most important are the condition of the boot sole and the surface in contact with the ground.
Slipping accidents are costly and cause serious injuries in industrial accidents. Furthermore, occupational safety experts have identified worn shoe and boot soles as a potential cause of slipping. In addition, while the slip resistance of footwear depends on the shape and structure of the sole, it also depends on the raw materials used.
Foot odor is an unpleasant condition that causes distress to many people, resulting from sweaty feet and the growth of bacteria.
To eliminate foot odor, antibacterial soaps, antiperspirants, antibacterial gels to stop bacterial growth, and antifungal products to prevent athlete's foot are recommended.
In addition, while changing socks several times a day is also recommended, all these measures require extra time, especially for working people.
The simplest solution to this foot odor problem is to use different types of insoles/felts:
A : It must be able to breathe.
B : It needs to be sweat-absorbent and wick away sweat quickly.
All Techno-Boots branded boots meet these specifications and can be used with confidence. The raw materials we use in the insoles/felts are produced by the world-renowned Sanitized AG company and are used in Techno-Boots products with certification.
Manufactured at Techno Boots with an innovative design using flexible nano-cell polyurethane foam with a special formulation that provides shock-absorbing comfort and insulation.
With its suitable technological design, it minimizes shock from the ground, protects against injuries, and provides stable balance support for daily use on uneven terrain.
Its shock-absorbing structure, which protects the forefoot, arch, and heel, helps prevent heel spurs, flatfoot pain, leg muscle pain, general foot pain, back and lower back pain, which often results from standing for long hours.
It eliminates bad foot odor caused by excessive foot sweating, thereby preventing the formation of bacteria and fungi.
Durable and breathable PU insoles/felts have antistatic, antibacterial and antiallergic properties.
With its moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, the high-quality lining fabric provides excellent comfort and high resistance to friction and abrasion.
Available in all sizes from 36 to 49.
For those who prefer extra comfort, the TECHNO PU SPECIAL removable insole/felt provides excellent support and a healthy foot environment.
Feet produce varying amounts of sweat throughout the day, depending on age, gender, activity level, and shoe fit. When sweat combines with heat, moisture builds up inside the shoe. This moisture and heat create the ideal environment for bacteria to live and multiply. The insoles/felts placed inside the boots prevent moisture and bacterial growth with their sweat-absorbing properties, protecting your foot health. The insole/felt included with every product, with its antistatic properties, enhances both comfort and foot safety.
