Selecting the right footwear starts with your work environment. Outdoor trades like construction, landscaping, and utility work often require waterproofing, puncture-proof soles, and reinforced uppers, while indoor or warehouse roles may call for lighter, more flexible safety shoes. Consider the surfaces you work on (wet, oily, uneven, concrete), the level of protection required (safety toe type, slip resistance, puncture resistance), and the length of your shifts. STRAUSS footwear is engineered with trade-specific features—lightweight cushioning for long hours, high-traction outsoles for slippery floors, and durable materials for abrasive environments—so you can match your footwear to the exact demands of your job.

Yes! STRAUSS shoes are designed with the same comfort technologies found in performance athletic footwear, making them ideal for both jobsite and daily wear. They pair durable materials with lightweight midsoles, breathable uppers, and flexible outsoles, so you get protection without feeling weighed down. If your day includes a mix of work, driving, commuting, or long hours on your feet, a STRAUSS safety shoe offers the versatility and all-day comfort you need. Their clean, modern designs also make them easy to wear off the jobsite, giving you performance, protection, and style in one.

All STRAUSS footwear is listed in U.S. men’s sizing, but every style is fully suitable for women. To find your fit, simply convert your size by subtracting 1.5–2 sizes from your U.S. women’s size. For example, a women’s 9 typically corresponds to a men’s 7–7.5. Our designs use performance-oriented, ergonomic lasts that accommodate a wide range of foot shapes, with supportive midsoles, secure heel construction, and flexible forefoot movement. Many women in construction, the trades, warehousing, and industrial roles wear STRAUSS footwear daily thanks to its durability, stability, and all-day comfort. With the right size conversion, you can confidently choose any of our boots or shoes to match the demands of your work.

A well-made pair of work boots—like those from STRAUSS—should last season after season, but longevity depends on how often you wear them and the conditions of your job. Heavy-duty environments with constant abrasion, moisture, or chemicals can wear down footwear faster, while indoor or mixed-use settings extend life. To get the most from your boots, clean them regularly, remove dirt and debris from the tread, and let them dry naturally between wears. Conditioning leather and checking laces, insoles, and seams helps preserve structure and comfort. With proper care and maintenance, STRAUSS boots are built to deliver long-lasting performance in demanding conditions.

STRAUSS boots are designed to fit true to size with a work-specific last that balances comfort, support, and stability. They’re engineered to provide a secure heel lock, roomy toe area for natural movement, and midfoot structure that keeps you stable on uneven terrain. If you plan to wear thick socks or work in cold environments, consider sizing up for added comfort. For the best fit, try boots on at the end of the day when your feet are naturally more swollen—this ensures all-day comfort during long shifts. The combination of ergonomic shaping and durable materials is designed to keep your foot supported, even on long days on concrete or rugged ground.
