The shoes that manage to pass the test and obtain the HRO marking are those with soles made of rubber; you only have to choose among solid rubber, PU/rubber and EVA/rubber. Those of solid rubber are the sturdiest, those of EVA/rubber are the lightest and those of PU/rubber are a compromise between the two qualities.
In what cases should HRO soles be used?
- In jobs where you come into contact with extremely hot surfaces
- in summer, when it’s very hot, if you wish a longer duration of the soles
