Shoe width describes how wide a shoe is cut on the inside. It is particularly important in the forefoot area—that is, where the toes and balls of the feet need space.

Safety shoes in width 12 are cut wider than many standard models in width 11. This provides more room without requiring you to choose a larger shoe size.

This can offer many advantages:

• more room for toes and the ball of the foot
• fewer pressure points for wider feet
• greater comfort throughout the workday
• a better fit for wider feet
• greater comfort for people with flat feet or fallen arches
• a secure fit without the shoe feeling too tight

Especially those who have previously felt that safety shoes are too narrow in the toe box should try models in width 12.

Extra-wide safety shoes are ideal for anyone who finds standard safety shoes too tight. This applies not only to people with very wide feet, but also to those whose feet swell slightly throughout the day from standing or walking for long periods.

Safety shoes in width 12 are particularly suitable for:

• Heavy-set feet
• Wide forefoot
• Flat feet or fallen arches
• Long workdays spent standing
• Jobs that involve a lot of walking
• Anyone looking for more comfort in the forefoot area

A wider fit can also be beneficial when using orthopedic insoles. However, always make sure that the specific model is suitable for insoles.

In our product range, you’ll find extra-wide safety shoes for women and men that combine workplace safety, comfort, and modern design. The models from PUMA Safety and ALBATROS are designed for professional use and, depending on the model, feature durable materials, slip-resistant soles, and comfortable cushioning.

Your benefits at a glance:

• extra-wide fit in width 12
• greater freedom of movement in the forefoot area
• high comfort during long workdays
• slip-resistant outsoles for a secure grip
• cushioned soles for comfortable walking and standing

• various safety classes and styles

This way, you’ll find safety shoes that not only suit your workplace but also fit your feet perfectly.

If your safety shoes often feel tight or you don't have enough room in the forefoot area, a wider shoe width may be the better choice. Extra-wide safety shoes in width 12 offer more room than many standard models in width 11.

Make sure the shoe fits neither too tightly nor too loosely. Your toes should have enough room, while your heel is securely supported

Comfortable safety shoes really pay off, especially during long shifts. Good cushioning, a comfortable lining, and an ergonomic fit can relieve strain on your feet, joints, and back.

Key comfort features include:

• cushioned midsole
• breathable lining
• padded upper
• flexible outsole
• ample space in the forefoot area
• secure support for the heel and midfoot

Even when choosing extra-wide safety shoes, you should always check which safety class is required for your workplace. Depending on the model, you’ll find safety shoes with various protective features, such as a steel toe cap, slip-resistant soles, puncture protection, or water-repellent materials.

Before making a purchase, check the requirements of your workplace. This will ensure that your new safety shoes are both comfortable and suitable for your specific work environment.
