Occupational footwear are safety shoes but do not feature steel toecaps. This type of footwear is designed to provide comfort, durability and slip resistance for workers in environments where the potential hazard of foot injury is considered adequately low.

Occupational footwear is an ideal solution for workers who do not encounter hazards of impact or compression but may encounter hazards such as slips and muscle fatigue. These include offices, service sectors, showrooms and restaurants.
