Just like any shoe, safety shoes can be made of a lot of different materials.

These are the most common used materials:

a) upper

- leather

- textile (casual styles)

- PU (water resistant boots)

b) outsole

- PU (or variants like TPU)

- rubber (or variants like TPR)

c) lining

- textile

- (none)

For upper, we have leather, textile and artificial leather, artificial leather price is much lower than genuine leather price.

For lining, we usually have mesh, cambrelle, cloth, genuine leather, etc materials.
