Puncture Resistant safety footwear contains a midsole which is designed to reduce the hazards of puncture wounds caused by sharp objects penetrating the sole. Puncture resistance safety shoes are constructed with a flexible steel midsole that lies completely underneath the foot. Puncture resistant safety footwear is often used in landfills, medical, construction and maintenance work environments.

Puncture resistant safety shoes meet ASTM F2413-05 PR requirements.
