Anyone who spends long periods standing or walking at work knows the importance of a stable ankle. Fatigue, uneven surfaces, and intensive walking increase the risk of ankle injuries, especially at the end of a long workday. Work shoes with ankle support provide the extra stability and protection you need to work comfortably and safely all day long.
Since 1924, Neskrid has been developing professional footwear and offers work shoes with ankle support for professionals who demand high standards of stability and comfort at work. For men and women, in multiple width sizes. The entire collection is exclusively available at Shaped4.
What are work shoes with ankle support?
Work shoes with ankle support are work shoes with a higher shaft that encloses and firmly supports the ankle. The higher shaft prevents twisting on uneven surfaces and provides the ankle with the stability needed for intensive lifting, prolonged standing, or working on varying surfaces.
Compared to low-cut work shoes, work shoes with ankle support offer more stability and protection for the ankle, without compromising the comfort and functionality of professional work footwear. They fall under the EN ISO 20347 standard for occupational footwear and do not have a mandatory safety toe cap.
When should you choose work shoes with ankle support?
Work shoes with ankle support are the right choice for professionals working on uneven or varying surfaces where the risk of twisting is greater, people who have previously suffered from ankle injuries or ankle problems and need extra stability, tasks involving a lot of lifting or twisting where a stable ankle is essential, and professionals who work long days and find their ankles fatigued at the end of the day.
For work environments with a flat and controlled surface where freedom of movement is more important than extra support, low-cut work shoes are often a better choice. See [low-cut work shoes] for an overview of lighter models.
Work shoes with ankle support versus high-cut safety shoes
Work shoes with ankle support resemble high-cut safety shoes but have one important difference: they do not have a mandatory safety toe cap. Work shoes with ankle support fall under the EN ISO 20347 standard for occupational footwear and are suitable for work environments where there is no risk of falling or rolling objects but where extra ankle support is desired.

Size advice for work shoes with ankle support
Neskrid work shoes with ankle support 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. Due to the higher shaft, the shoe fits tighter around the ankle; if in doubt, we recommend half a size larger for optimal wearing comfort.
