Matthew Rowlands, Swenco’s assistant general manager, says: “CE is recognized around the world as a very strong mark of assurance in the occupational health and safety industry. Our product exceeds the benchmarks of impact resistance and slip resistance set by that standardisation process.”

Made of thermo-plastic rubber, the Steel-Flex overshoe slips easily over street shoes to protect the feet of temporary visitors to manufacturing plants and other industrial settings.

The overshoe incorporates steel toe caps designed and sourced by Swenco specifically for this purpose, similar but thicker and larger than toes found in top-quality safety footwear. The overshoe comes in a range of colour-coded sizes and an ambidextrous shape, saving users and visitors the trouble of finding a right and left foot match. It is waterproof and resistant to chemicals and acids.
