Slip Resistant Dress Shoes

Unlike the typical shoe design, slip resistant dress shoes or non slip dress shoes for men are specifically designed to reduce slips, trips, and accidental falls. Their outsoles have grippy treads, keeping you stable on your feet while walking on wet and slippery terrains.

Do slip-resistant shoes actually work? You bet! With non-slip footwear, you can confidently navigate challenging, slick surfaces like oily kitchen floors or icy sidewalks, knowing that the specialized traction patterns will help prevent unfortunate everyday life and workplace accidents and keep your feet safe.

Key Features of Non-Slip Dress Shoes

Materials

Materials used in men’s dress shoe manufacture come into play when they come in contact with the ground. The best non-slip work shoes are usually softer on the outside, while their outsoles are typically made of high-grade rubber and sometimes synthetic rubber. Rubber soles make them slip-resistant, allowing for an efficient grip on slippery, wet, and greasy surfaces.

Design

Besides slip-resistant soles, the shoe's design impacts its slip-resistance level. Slip-resistant work shoes have a unique design that allows them to provide a reliable grip in a variety of styles.

Pattern

The right pattern in the outsole creates traction and provides a firmer grip for the wearer to prevent slipping under various circumstances. What type of sole is non-slip? Most non-slippery shoe soles have a bumpy surface – interlocked tread patterns ingrained under the outsole.

A special type of enclosed tread pattern leaves no space for the liquid inside the outsole. Instead, it channelizes liquid away from the shoe, ensuring your foot remains secure in any position thanks to its rough surface.

How to Tell If Dress Shoes Are Non-Slip?

They Are Labeled as “Slip-Resistant”

To quickly determine if shoes are non-slip, check the product label. Slip-resistant labels appear on shoes, boots, and other footwear. Additionally, many non-slip shoe outsoles exceed ASTM specifications. The shoes are safe for oily, dry, and wet surfaces because they feature genuine anti-slip technology. Look for these in safety footwear product descriptions online.

Examine the Tread Patterns

Another important indicator of a non-slip sole is the tread pattern. Circular, squiggle, or hexagon tread patterns are on most shoes' outsoles. These create friction that grips surfaces without holding water. Smaller tread patterns typically provide more slip resistance.

Check the Design of the Soles

Grip and traction are also affected by outsole form. Before buying slip-resistant shoes, check the outsoles. Anti-slip shoes should have durable EVA rubber outsoles with rounded sides. EVA looks like resin or foam and is synthetic. Non-slip shoe midsoles and outsoles include it.

Wear or Walk in Them

Try on your new non-slip shoes in-store! Stores rarely have wet floors, but shiny, slick ones can work. Wear and test the shoes. Feel how they fit and how your foot glides. Shop floors are slippery, so you'll soon discover the shoe's slide resistance.

Another method to assess shoe slip resistance is to run your hand over the outsole. Slick soles make shoes slip-prone.
