Do you keep your feet healthy?

Your feet carry you through life, and it's important to take good care of them. Improper footwear can lead to serious issues such as pain in the arch and joints. With the right safety boots or work shoes, you get optimal support, protection, and comfort – no matter how demanding your workday is.

Choose footwear that is designed with a focus on healthy arch support and made from breathable materials so your feet can stay dry and fresh. The right shoe choice not only improves your comfort but also your quality of life and job satisfaction.

Your feet deserve the best – choose quality that lasts!

Footwear and Health: Why It Matters

The feet are the foundation of your body, supporting your weight day in and day out. Yet, they are often overlooked when it comes to health and well-being. Improper footwear can affect the body's overall biomechanics and lead to a range of problems. Many begin with soreness and discomfort, but if ignored, it can develop into long-term injuries.

Footwear that doesn't fit properly can:

• Cause unnecessary friction and pressure points, leading to calluses, blisters, or corns.
• Deform the feet, causing bunions and hammertoes over time.
• Provide insufficient support, which can strain ligaments, tendons, and joints.
• Worsen foot and heel problems such as plantar fasciitis (pain in the arch).

But it doesn't stop at the feet. Poor footwear affects the entire body – from poor posture to pain in the knees, hips, and lower back. When the feet don't get the support they need, the strain is transferred to other parts of the body, which can lead to chronic pain and imbalances.

When you spend many hours on your feet

For those who work on their feet or walk a lot during the day, the feet are constantly exposed to strain. In work environments where one stands on hard floors for hours, improper footwear can quickly lead to serious problems.

Typical issues from long days on your feet:

• Overuse of the arch / arch support: When the arch is not properly supported, it can lead to painful inflammations in the tendons, such as plantar fasciitis.
• Heel pain: The heel bears most of the weight, and without shock absorption, it can lead to heel spurs and soreness.
• Foot deformities: Too-narrow shoes can cause bunions and hammertoes, while stiff shoes can restrict the natural movement of the foot.
• Poor circulation: If the shoes are too tight, blood flow to the feet can be restricted, leading to swollen and tired feet.
• Fatigue throughout the body: Poor shoes can result in an imbalanced posture, causing tension in muscles and joints – not only in the feet but also in the back, neck, and shoulders.

That's why it's important to choose shoes that not only fit in size but also provide the necessary support and comfort to relieve strain on the body.

How to Protect Your Feet

5 Tips for Healthy Feet

It's not hard to keep your feet healthy, but it does require some attention and care. Follow these tips to avoid pain and injuries:

That's why it's important to choose shoes that not only fit properly but also provide the necessary support and comfort to relieve strain on the body.

Safety Shoes & boots for Every Foot, Task, and Fit from Sievi

Sievi is known for its innovative approach to footwear and its ability to deliver solutions that fit every foot type. One of the most unique features of Sievi's range is that their shoes and boots are available in two different widths – a standard fit and an XL fit. The XL fit is designed with a wider last, providing extra space and comfort for people with wider feet. This ensures that both individuals with standard-width feet and those who need more spacious shoes can find footwear that fits properly and comfortably.

The wider last in the XL fit is specifically developed to avoid issues like bunions, blisters, and soreness that often arise from wearing shoes that are too narrow. Sievi understands that every foot is unique, and their focus on accommodating different widths makes them one of the preferred choices for both work shoes and boots. The wide range of fits means that Sievi can meet the needs of a diverse range of users – regardless of work conditions or foot shape.

• Standard fit: Ideal for standard feet.
• XL fit: Created for those who need extra width.

Perfect Shock Absorption for Long Workdays

In addition to their focus on fit, Sievi has made significant investments in the development of soles that provide optimal shock absorption. The specially designed soles are created to effectively reduce the strain on the feet, even after long workdays on hard surfaces. The shock-absorbing soles relieve the arch, heel, and joints, helping protect the feet and significantly improving comfort. This shock absorption also reduces the risk of pain in the knees, hips, and back, as the shoes help maintain correct posture and minimize strain on the body.

With the combination of ergonomic design, a wider last in the XL fit, and innovative shock absorption, Sievi sets a high standard for work footwear that adapt to your individual needs – every day, all day.

Healthy Feet Are Dry Feet

Dry feet are essential for maintaining the health and comfort of your feet, especially when working long days in demanding environments. Moist feet can lead to discomfort, skin irritation, blisters, and, in the worst case, fungal infections that can be difficult to treat. Therefore, it is important to choose footwear that not only protects against external elements but also keeps your feet dry and comfortable.

Sievi integrates technologies into their shoes and boots to ensure that your feet stay dry, even in challenging conditions. Many of Sievi's models are equipped with GORE-TEX®, known for its excellent waterproofing and breathability. GORE-TEX® acts as a water-repellent barrier that effectively keeps water out while allowing moisture and heat from the foot to escape. Sievi also ensures that their footwear is constructed with durable materials that provide long-lasting protection against moisture and tough work conditions.

Slip-resistant soles for any surface and work environment

In many work environments, smooth or uneven surfaces can pose a significant risk for accidents. That's why Sievi prioritizes the development of slip-resistant soles that are tailored to different types of surfaces and working conditions. With a focus on safety, comfort, and durability, Sievi offers a wide range of soles available on various products in their collection.

Slip-resistant soles tailored to different needs

Sievi's selection of slip-resistant soles is designed to meet the demands of various work situations:

• PU/TPU soles: These soles, combining flexibility and durability, are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. They provide excellent grip on smooth surfaces and are featured on many of Sievi's popular models.
• Rubber and nitrile soles: Perfect for work environments with high temperatures or oily surfaces. These soles offer solid traction and resist both heat and chemicals. You’ll find them on boots and shoes designed for demanding industries.
• Sievi TractionPro®: An innovative solution that offers extra safety on icy or snow-covered surfaces. Shoes and boots with TractionPro® are particularly suited for outdoor work in winter conditions.

The different soles are integrated into specific Sievi models, allowing you to choose the footwear that best suits your needs.
