Safety shoes and socks: a perfect pair

25 April 2024
Every hard worker and anyone who regularly stands for long periods of time knows it: good safety shoes are hugely important. Not only to do your job optimally, but also for your own comfort and health. What many people don't know, however, is that work socks are just as important.

Every hard worker and anyone who regularly stands for long periods of time knows it: good safety shoes are hugely important. Not only to do your job optimally, but also for your own comfort and health. What many people don't know, however, is that work socks are just as important. A high-quality work sock provides support, absorbs moisture and increases wearing comfort. And that can really make a difference!

Many employers invest in good safety shoes. Simply because it is extremely important to protect employees properly against all possible safety risks. You hear less about the importance of buying good socks to go with those shoes. And that is a shame. Because a good sock can make all the difference. Especially in terms of comfort.

If you stand for long periods of time, walk a lot or perform physical labour, this will involve sweating. After all, the warmer you get, the more you perspire. This is especially true for our feet when we wear shoes. If that sweat has nowhere to go, feet become cold and damp, leading to risks: foot fungus, pressure pain, chafing or blisters.

What makes an EMMA work sock unique? The choice of material! Four different technologies, all with their own properties, make up the hydro-Dry® socks.

1. Hydro-Dry sustainable working sock The ideal, versatile sock that can be worn all year round.
2. Hydro-Dry sustainable business sock The perfect sock to wear with EMMA business shoes.
3. Hydro-Dry sustainable thermo sock A thick, warm and better-insulated sock. Ideal for cold conditions.

Coolmax® polyester fibre
Coolmax® polyester fibre
For dry feet all day long!
All hydro-Dry® socks incorporate the Coolmax® polyester fibre. This fibre wicks away moisture directly and efficiently, through four special ventilation channels on the instep. The socks draw moisture away from the surface of the skin, keeping a person's feet dry all day long. Even if that person stands for a long time, performs heavy labour or works in a hot environment. Additional advantage: the socks are quick-drying, both inside and outside the shoe!
Herwonnen Polyamide (Econyl® Nylon)
Regenerated Polyamide (Econyl® Nylon)
Shock-absorbing, supportive and hard-wearing
The heels and toes of the hydro-Dry® socks are reinforced with Econyl® Nylon; a super-strong material. The fibres provide high abrasion and shape resistance, greatly enhancing the socks' durability and providing support where it is needed most. Econyl® Nylon acts as a shock absorber and relieves pressure points, eliminating vibration for the user. Econyl® Nylon makes work socks last much longer than regular socks. A durable choice!
Sanitized
Sanitized
Kills bacteria and eliminates unpleasant odours
All Hydro-Dry® socks undergo a Sanitized treatment to prevent unpleasant odours. Sanitized kills bacteria and is therefore extremely hygienic.
ESD
ESD
Anti-static
A small detail can make a big difference. This is also the case with EMMA's hydro-Dry® socks. They are equipped with extra conductive properties, so you hardly build up any static charge while walking. This drastically reduces the risk of electric shock. Not an unnecessary luxury with today's technologies, devices and sensitive electronics... With EMMA's anti-static work socks, both you and the equipment you work with are safe. A welcome addition to ESD safety shoes!
