Safety footwear standard EN345 has
been superseded by EN ISO 20345
and the whole Dickies footwear
range has been re-cerfified to the
new standard EN ISO 20345:2011.
Wasi Ullah, buyer at Dickies
commented: “The most important
element of any item of working
apparel is its comfort and durability.
This is especially important with
regards to safety footwear, more so
when you consider that most
tradesmen could spend up to nine
hours a day working in their
footwear. So any safety footwear not
only has to be comfortable and
provide support to the wearer’s foot
but also be strong enough to
withstand the rigours of the modern
working environment.
