Slip Resistant Technology

Why Choose Shoes For Crews?

Our technology results in unbelievable traction on all types of wet and greasy floor surfaces.

• Our SFC Mighty Grip slip-resistant outsole is made from an exclusive rubber compound that grips the microscopic roughness of the floor surface.
• Our patented micro-channel tread pattern channels liquids away from the bottom of the sole.
• Plus our footwear features cushioned insoles and select styles feature a foam-core midsole that makes our shoes light and as comfortable as air.

What makes Shoes For Crews the most slip-resistant footwear?
Our sole is created with a combination of a special rubber compound and tread design providing for maximum slip-resistance. The unique rubber compound grips the microscopic roughness of the floor surface, while the grid-pattern channels the liquids out from under the shoe sole.

Why are some soles more slip-resistant than others?
Different sole compounds and tread designs create different coefficients of friction. Therefore, some grip the floor better than others.

Are all 'safety shoes' slip-resistant?
No. Only those labelled slip-resistant. But just because it has that label doesn't mean you won't slip. To earn that label you only have to have a minimal degree of slip resistance.

Does 'oil-resistant' mean the same as slip-resistant?
No. Generally that refers to the shoe's upper material. However, our shoes are oil resistant as well as slip resistant on wet, greasy or oily surfaces.

Are your soles guaranteed not to slip?
NO sole is 100% slip proof. It is important to combine Shoes For Crews with proper floor maintenance to achieve maximum slip and fall incident reduction

Our slip-resistant shoes outperform the competition by more than 100%

Independent Slip Resistance Test Results:
This report was performed on March 3rd, 2009, by Precision Testing Laboratories on worn, smooth, greasy/wet restaurant quarry tile coated with water and Crisco brand shortening using Brungraber Mark II Slip Tester according to ASTM Standard F1677.

Results are based on the following Scale:

• 0.0 is the Absence of Friction
• 1.0 is very High Friction such as on a Dry Carpet
