Safety Sneakers FAQ

Q: Are breathable safety sneakers as safe as leather boots?
A: Yes. Modern breathable sneakers use high-tenacity mesh and synthetic fibers that pass the same EN ISO 20345 impact and compression tests as leather, provided they are correctly certified.
Q: What is the difference between Steel Toe and Composite Toe?
A: Steel is thinner and more traditional. Composite is lighter, airport-friendly (metal-free), and does not conduct heat or cold, making it better for extreme temperature environments.
Q: Do you support private label branding for small orders?
A: Weifang Lento offers flexible OEM/ODM services. While MOQs vary, we have specific programs to support growing brands with custom logos and packaging.
Q: How do I choose between S1P and S3 ratings?
A: S1P is ideal for indoor, dry environments where breathability and puncture resistance are key. S3 adds water resistance, making it suitable for outdoor construction and wet conditions.
