You will all certainly have in mind the classic image of the close-up of a worker&#8217;s shoe about to sink its step onto a protruding nail. A disturbing image in some respects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">While the risk posed by the sole of the foot of those working on construction sites or in many other dangerous situations is considered to be very high,<strong> at the same time one should not overlook the upper part of the foot,<\/strong> which is also subject to possible falling objects or getting caught on dangerous protrusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"the-upper-of-a-safety-shoe-therefore-should-also-be-constructed-from-particularly-durable-tough-and-strong-materials\">The upper of a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shoestechnologies.exum.eu\/safety-footwear-market-is-growing\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/shoestechnologies.exum.eu\/safety-footwear-market-is-growing\/\">safety shoe,<\/a><\/strong> therefore, should also be constructed from particularly durable, tough and strong materials. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A challenge that is not exactly easy when you consider that below the foot you can add a layer of protection, such as a metal sheet can be. A solution, however, that cannot be applied to instep protection and be as effective, unless one wants to return to the time of riders entirely covered in metal sheets. <strong>It is obvious that it is no longer the time of armor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"472\" src=\"https:\/\/shoestechnologies.exum.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tenacity-on-the-upper-is-so-important-for-workers-3.jpg\" alt=\"anti-perforation | shoestechnologies\n\" class=\"wp-image-18240\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shoestechnologies.exum.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tenacity-on-the-upper-is-so-important-for-workers-3.jpg 900w, https:\/\/shoestechnologies.exum.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tenacity-on-the-upper-is-so-important-for-workers-3-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shoestechnologies.exum.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tenacity-on-the-upper-is-so-important-for-workers-3-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shoestechnologies.exum.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tenacity-on-the-upper-is-so-important-for-workers-3-600x315.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shoestechnologies.exum.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tenacity-on-the-upper-is-so-important-for-workers-3-20x10.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tenacity on the upper is so important for workers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Here, then, is where, over time, textile manufacturers have developed increasingly robust yarn weaves that can withstand almost any strain. With <strong>Armortex <\/strong>they have even gone so far as to make it bulletproof, somewhat like what happens with DuPont&#8217;s well-known Kevlar synthetic fibers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
