How These Non-Slip Work Shoes Actually Work
It’s all in the grip of the sole pattern. These patterns act like tire treads, helping your foot “bite” into the floor surface and push water or oil away so you don’t slide. The sole is made of a special type of rubber that has more “stick” when it touches the floor, even on smooth surfaces.
Think of it like how a car’s rubber tyres grip better than hard plastic wheels. When you walk, the sole of your foot creates friction (resistance) against the floor. The more friction, the less chance your shoe will skid.
Care Tips to Keep Your Non-Slip Shoes Long-Lasting
At Lugz, all of our shoes have been rigorously tested and stand up to the daily, rough use. However, with some TLC, they can last even longer.
These tips will help:
1. Daily care
Knock out dirt and debris after shifts. Use a stiff brush to clear sole treads, as trapped grime kills grip.
Wipe uppers with a damp microfiber cloth. For oily spots, use a mild dish soap or dedicated degreaser, then rinse and blot dry.
2. Weekly wash
Remove laces and insoles. For canvas or mesh, hand wash with warm water and gentle detergent. Scrub the soles separately.
For leather, avoid soaking. Wipe with a damp cloth and saddle soap, then condition lightly. For suede or nubuck, use a suede brush and eraser. Don’t use water.
3. Drying
Air-dry at room temperature. Never use direct heat or a dryer. Heat hardens midsoles, shrinks uppers, and destroys adhesives. You can stuff shoes with newspaper or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and preserve shape.
4. Insole and midsole care
Rotate insoles between uses or replace if cushioning sags. If you use orthotics, remove factory insoles to improve fit and airflow.
5. Outsole maintenance
Inspect tread depth and wear patterns. When the tread is flattened or the channels are clogged, clean thoroughly.
