Lehigh Safety Shoes: Women’s Lehigh Steel Toe Slip-On
511 Lehigh Safety Shoe Co. has been providing protective toe safety shoes since the early 1920’s initially under the name of Lehigh Rubber and Leather Company. There have been many upgrades in technology over time allowing for better safety shoes. One of the key comfort features Lehigh has been utilizing in a number of styles including our Lehigh steel toe stock # 511 over the last ten years has been lightweight polyurethane outsoles. Polyurethane outsole material not only helps make lighter weight steel toe shoes, but also gives helping take some of the stress and strain away from the wearer’s feet and body. What really helps take 511’s underfoot comfort to another level is its contoured removable polyurethane cushion insole. The polyurethane material used in its insole is known for its cushioning while not bottoming out features. Plus, this insole has an extra ½” thick cushion that fits within a cored out inside heel area allowing extra cushioning at the heel strike area. Adding to the Lehigh stock # 511 comfort package is its exceptionally soft tumbled upper leather. The tumbling process performed by the leather tannery helps break-up and soften the leather lessening the break-in for the wearer. In addition to meeting the highest ASTM F2413-05 Impact and Compression standards, Lehigh stock # 511 also complies with its Static Dissipative standards. Static Dissipative footwear is geared to those areas dealing with electronic component assembly, but can be worn in work areas requiring only basic protective toe footwear. An additional feature of the Lehigh stock # 511 is that it has no metal exposed on the outside of its shoe providing a mar resistant aspect that is often sought by the automotive industry to help protect car interiors from damage. The light tread design of Lehigh stock # 511’s outsole is purposely used with the pharmaceutical industry in mind.
