Weight makes all the difference. Anyone who is on their feet for long hours every day knows that heavy shoes are noticeable in the feet, knees, and back by the end of the workday. Lightweight work shoes noticeably reduce that fatigue, without compromising on the durability, grip, and certification that professional occupational footwear must offer.
Neskrid has been developing professional footwear since 1924 and offers lightweight work shoes tailored for professionals who are active on the work floor all day long. For women and men, in multiple width sizes and various colors. The full collection is exclusively available at Shaped4.
What makes a work shoe lightweight?
The weight of a work shoe is determined by two factors: the upper material and the sole. Neskrid work shoes are made of high-quality microfiber, a material that is significantly lighter than traditional leather but offers the same durability and appearance. The PU sole is the lightest sole option in the Neskrid range and combines a low weight with excellent cushioning properties.
The combination of a microfiber upper and a PU sole makes the lightest Neskrid work shoes one of the most comfortable choices for professionals who walk a lot daily, noticeably lighter on the foot than work shoes with a heavier nitrile or dual sole.
When should you choose lightweight work shoes?
Lightweight work shoes are the right choice for professionals who walk a lot daily on the work floor and want to minimize fatigue, work environments with a flat and controlled surface where maximum wear resistance is less important than low weight and comfort, and people who are prone to fatigue in their feet, knees, or back from prolonged standing and walking.
For work environments with rough surfaces or intensive outdoor use where maximum wear resistance is required, work shoes with a Dual sole are a more robust choice. View our [work shoes page] for a complete overview of all models.
Lightweight work shoes with PU sole
The lightest work shoes in the Neskrid range feature a PU sole, a full polyurethane sole that excels in low weight and excellent cushioning properties. The PU sole absorbs shocks with every step, thereby reducing the strain on feet, knees, and back during prolonged standing and walking. The anti-slip properties provide grip on slippery and wet work floors.
Lightweight work shoes for women and men
Neskrid lightweight work shoes are available for both women and men, in multiple width sizes so that the shoe always fits well, even with a wide foot. Wide lightweight work shoes are a permanent part of the range.

Size advice lightweight work shoes
Neskrid lightweight work shoes are available in multiple width sizes. Choose your normal shoe size as a starting point and select the width size that matches the width of your foot. If in doubt, we recommend half a size larger for optimal wearing comfort. Do you have a wide foot? Then choose wide lightweight work shoes in the wider width size.
