How to choose ankle work footwear

When choosing Panda ankle work footwear, it is important to consider the environment where you will use the shoes as well as the level of protection you need. Key factors include the materials used, safety class, and available protective features. In the following sections, we will go through the most important selection criteria.

Footwear material

The quality of materials used significantly affects both the price and the lifespan of work footwear. When choosing, we focus mainly on three parts – the upper, the sole, and the safety features.

• ➡️ Upper material – for Panda ankle footwear, high-quality natural leather is most commonly used, providing strength, abrasion resistance, and good breathability. In some cheaper models, textile is also used, but Panda prefers leather construction.
• ➡️ Sole – most often PU injection (polyurethane), which is lightweight and absorbs shocks well. In more demanding conditions, a rubber sole is advantageous, as it is more resistant to heat, chemicals, and wear, but it is also somewhat more expensive.
• ➡️ Safety features – the most common are steel toe caps and steel puncture-resistant plates. Modern models also use lighter alternatives like composite or Kevlar, which reduce footwear weight and increase wearing comfort.

Safety class and standards

Since Panda ankle work footwear belongs to safety footwear, all models in this category comply with the EN ISO 20345 standard. The range includes footwear in various protection classes depending on the conditions of use – from dry indoor spaces to demanding terrain and wet environments.

• ➡️ S1 – basic protection including steel/composite toe cap, antistatic sole, and energy absorption in the heel
• ➡️ S2 – like S1, but with additional upper water absorption resistance (also suitable for damp conditions)
• ➡️ S3 – like S2, supplemented with a puncture-resistant midsole and profiled (slip-resistant) sole

Additional protections

Besides the safety class itself, work footwear is often supplemented with additional protective features marked by internationally recognized abbreviations. These add-ons increase protection against specific risks and are especially important when working in demanding environments. Panda ankle work footwear also offers several of these supplementary features.

The most common additional protections include:

• ➡️ P – midsole penetration resistance (e.g., nails or sharp objects)
• ➡️ SRC – highest level of slip resistance (on ceramic and steel surfaces with various liquids)
• ➡️ HRO – sole resistance to contact heat up to 300 °C
• ➡️ FO – sole resistance to fuels (oil, diesel)
• ➡️ WRU – upper resistance to water penetration and absorption
• ➡️ M – metatarsal protection, i.e., additional reinforcement of this part of the foot

Panda – a brand with tradition in safety footwear

1979, Italy

The Panda Safety brand has its roots in Italy, where it was founded in 1979 in the town of Cisternino. Since its inception, it has specialized in producing certified work and safety footwear for various sectors – from industry through construction to logistics. The company prides itself on combining Italian design, modern technologies, and a focus on quality in every detail.

Besides ankle footwear, it also produces low shoes, high boots, sandals, and specialized models for the food and healthcare sectors. Thanks to international distribution, Panda is among the well-known work footwear brands throughout Europe.

What pairs well with Panda ankle work footwear?

To keep your Panda ankle work footwear in top condition for as long as possible, it is important to care for it properly. Besides regular cleaning, choosing the right accessories plays a big role. Quality Panda work socks improve breathability and comfort during all-day wear, while Panda insoles help maintain hygiene and extend the footwear's lifespan – replacing them can feel like renewing the entire shoe.

Low shoes and high work footwear as alternatives to ankle footwear

If ankle work footwear does not fully suit you, the Panda brand offers other options. Lighter and more breathable Panda low shoes are an ideal choice for less demanding operations or indoor work where additional ankle protection is not necessary.

On the other hand, for more demanding work environments, winter conditions, or uneven terrain, Panda high footwear is a better choice, providing even better stability, insulation, and foot protection. Both categories offer a wide selection of models with reliable safety features.
