If you regularly are working in an area with wet or slippery floors, then wearing non-slip shoes is a must for staying safe. Non-slip shoes have thick, deep treads that get a better grip on the floor, so they give you a lot more traction. Whether you’re checking shoes you already own or are looking for new non-slip shoes, we’re here to help out. Keep reading and we’ll walk you through what non-slip shoes look like, how they work, and answer common questions you may have.
Things You Should Know
- Check the shoes for a deep pattern of treads that are shaped like hexagons, squares, triangles, or circles.
- Confirm that the outsoles are made from rubber, polyurethane, or PVC and have angled sides that prevent liquid from getting trapped.
- Look for the words “anti-slip,” “non-slip,” or “slip-resistant” printed on the soles or on the label that came with your shoes.
