Our best-selling low-ankle model, chosen for general industrial duty across construction sites, railway yards and PSU plants. Steel toe cap rated to 200 Joules impact, ESD-safe sole for electrically sensitive environments.

A reinforced double-strap design for faster on/off use in warehouses, factories and logistics hubs where workers change footwear frequently during shifts. Slip-guard outsole holds grip on oily and wet factory floors.

Maximum-protection boot with a non-metallic composite toe cap — lighter than steel and metal-detector friendly, preferred for defence installations, mining and power plant tenders that specify composite toe in their BOQ.

Manufactured against IS 15298 tender specification 110/51, this model is built for Railways, ordnance factories and PSU procurement where puncture-resistant midsoles are a mandatory tender clause.

Chemical-resistant upper and sole compound designed for oil & gas refineries and chemical plants where footwear is exposed to solvents and corrosive spills throughout the shift.

A general-purpose steel-toe model in steady demand across government and PSU tenders that call for an entry-level IS 15298 compliant shoe without specialised resistance features.
A quick reference for procurement teams and individual buyers evaluating safety shoes for men across toe protection, sizing and industry fit.
Steel toe caps give the highest crush resistance per rupee and are the default spec in most government and PSU tenders. Composite toe caps (fibreglass-based, non-metallic) weigh less and won't trigger metal detectors — the right call for defence installations, airports and sites with daily security screening. See our full steel toe vs composite toe comparison for a side-by-side breakdown.
All Safmar models run in UK sizes 5–11 (roughly equivalent to Indian sizing and about one size down from US men's sizing). Safety shoes are built with reinforced toe caps and midsoles, so they fit slightly firmer than casual footwear — if you're between sizes, most buyers size up rather than down for all-shift comfort. Bulk and institutional buyers ordering across a workforce should see our sizing guide for bulk buyers before finalising a size-wise order sheet.
Construction and railway sites typically call for a standard 200J steel-toe model with a slip-resistant sole. Oil & gas and chemical plants need chemical-resistant uppers and soles. Defence, mining and power-plant tenders that specify metal-detector compatibility need composite toe. Match your industry to the "Ideal for" tag on each model above, or write in with your tender BOQ and we'll match a model directly.
An ISI mark on a safety shoe means it's been tested and BIS-licensed against IS 15298 (Part 2) for impact resistance, compression strength and sole durability — not just a logo on the box. This is also a hard requirement for GeM, government and most PSU tenders. Read our ISI marking explained guide to check what to verify before you buy.
Government buyers can place orders directly through the GeM portal at factory pricing, since Safmar is a registered OEM manufacturer. Tender desks, PSUs and corporate buyers can email requirements to safmarshoes188@gmail.com or use the enquiry form for a formal quotation, sample dispatch and lead-time confirmation. Dealers and distributors looking for regional partnerships can also enquire through the same form by selecting "Dealership / Distribution" as the enquiry type.
Steel toe caps offer maximum crush resistance and are the standard choice for most government tenders. Composite toe caps (fibreglass/Kevlar-based) are non-metallic, lighter, and preferred where workers pass through metal detectors daily, such as defence installations and certain mining sites.
All models are available in UK sizes 5–11. Custom sizing for large institutional orders can be discussed on request.
Yes, samples can be dispatched against a nominal sample charge, which is typically adjusted against the confirmed bulk order.
MOQs vary by model and customisation. Direct/corporate buyers can enquire for the standard MOQ; tender quantities follow the buyer's tender BOQ.
Yes. Safmar is registered on GeM as an OEM manufacturer, so government buyers can place orders directly on the portal at factory pricing without an intermediary.
For general industrial duty, a steel-toe model with a slip-resistant sole and ESD safety (like the S2211S or IS/168/04) covers most day-to-day needs. For specific environments — chemical exposure, metal-detector zones, or puncture risk — match the model to that requirement first, since "best" depends on the job, not just the brand.
Sizing follows standard UK men's sizing (5–11), close to Indian sizing. Because the toe cap and midsole are reinforced, the fit is slightly firmer than casual shoes — if you're between two sizes, most buyers choose the larger size for all-day comfort.
Yes, all current models use a genuine leather upper with a PU (polyurethane) sole, standard across the IS 15298 (Part 2) certified range.
Safmar is set up primarily for bulk, tender and institutional orders, but individual buyers and small businesses can also request a quote for smaller quantities — including a single sample pair before committing to a larger order.
