About Redbrick safety shoes

Redbrick is a Dutch brand that turned the safety shoe industry upside down by introducing the first real safety sneaker. Where work shoes used to be synonymous with heavy, clunky, and uncomfortable, Redbrick proved it can be different: a shoe that looks like a modern sporty sneaker but fully meets European safety standards. This appealed to many — especially to those who take their workwear seriously but also want to look presentable on the job.
Redbrick safety shoes are available for both men and women. For ladies, there are specific models tailored to a female fit, ensuring that you can also go through your workday comfortably and stylishly. Most models are certified in S1P or S3, making them suitable for various sectors: from warehousing and logistics to construction, industry, and service. Whether you work as a shelf stocker, forklift driver, installer, or construction worker — there’s almost always a Redbrick model that fits your work situation.

Redbrick technologies and features

What sets Redbrick apart from traditional work shoes is the smart combination of modern materials and serious safety techniques. Below are the key features you’ll find in the collection.

Light and breathable thanks to modern materials

Redbrick frequently uses lightweight materials like microfiber, mesh, and knit upper. These fabrics are breathable, helping your feet stay at a comfortable temperature — even when you’re standing or walking for hours. The insoles are often made of EVA, a foam-like material that cushions without being heavy. The result is a shoe you hardly notice after a long day. This makes a noticeable difference in fatigue for those in logistics, retail, or industry who cover a lot of ground.

Safety toe and anti-perforation sole

All Redbrick safety shoes come with a protective toe, usually made of aluminum or composite material. This toe protects your toes from falling or rolling objects — something that poses a real risk in almost any workplace. In higher standards (S3), an anti-perforation sole is also included, often made of Kevlar or plastic. This layer prevents nails, screws, or other sharp materials from piercing through the sole into your foot. It sounds simple, but it’s a protection you only truly appreciate when you need it.

Grip and stability on various surfaces

The outsoles of Redbrick are designed with a good profile for sufficient grip on wet, slippery, or rough surfaces. Some models have additional features like HRO (heat-resistant sole, up to about 300°C contact) or oil and fuel resistance, handy in industrial or technical environments. The combination of a good sole profile and stable construction ensures that you remain stable even on uneven surfaces or when moving quickly.

ESD properties

Selected Redbrick models feature ESD certification (Electrostatic Discharge). This means the shoe conducts electrostatic charge, preventing dangerous sparks when in contact with ESD-sensitive equipment or components. Do you work in electronics, a cleanroom, or an environment with explosion hazards? Then make sure to filter for ESD in your choice.

Redbrick safety sneakers by standard (S1P and S3)

Not every workplace requires the same protection. Redbrick offers safety shoes in S1P and S3, the two most common standards on the work floor. Below, we explain in plain language what these standards mean and which one suits your situation.
S1P stands for a shoe with a closed heel, anti-static properties, energy-absorbing heel, and an anti-perforation sole. S1P is suitable for dry indoor situations: think of warehouses, distribution centers, factory floors, or stores. The shoe is not intended for consistently wet conditions or outdoor work in the rain. Do you work a lot indoors, walk a lot, and is your environment predominantly dry? Then a S1P work shoe from Redbrick is an excellent choice.
S3 goes a step further: in addition to everything S1P offers, the shoe is also water-repellent (water-resistant upper), equipped with an anti-perforation sole, and has a profile sole. S3 is the standard for outdoor, construction, wet environments, and areas with more risks. Do you often find yourself in the rain, on muddy terrain, or on a construction site with nails on the floor? Then opt for S3 work shoes from Redbrick.
  • Choosing S1P if you primarily work indoors in a dry environment, walk a lot, and value comfort and lightweight (warehouse, logistics, retail, industry).
  • Choosing S3 if you work outdoors, frequently encounter wet or rough ground, or are on a construction site with a risk of perforation.

Redbrick work shoes for men and women

Redbrick has expanded its collection with models for both men and women, as well as unisex models that can be worn by anyone. The specific ladies' models are tailored to a female fit, which generally means a slightly narrower or slimmer heel for a better fit. Do you want a work shoe that is comfortable without looking unnecessarily tough or clunky? Then Redbrick offers a nice selection. Also, check out our full range of ladies' work shoes if you want to compare more broadly.
For men, there are models in a wide range of sizes, from sportier and tighter to something more robust for heavier outdoor work. Redbrick men's work shoes combine the sneaker look with a sturdy build, so you look modern while being protected. Whether you choose a low shoe for maximum freedom of movement or a slightly higher version for extra ankle support — Redbrick has something to offer in both categories.

Redbrick collection: from Motion to classic

The Redbrick collection consists of various types, each aimed at a specific use situation. Below is an overview of the main directions within the collection.

Sporty safety sneakers for indoor and logistics

The lightest and most breathable models in the collection are particularly suitable for those who walk a lot daily in an indoor environment. Think of logistics employees, production workers, or people in retail. These shoes closely resemble regular sports shoes, are extremely lightweight, and guarantee comfort throughout a full shift. The Motion line is the most well-known example of this type: knit or mesh upper, soft EVA midsole, and a sleek silhouette.

Robust Redbrick work shoes for outdoor work

For construction, installation technology, or outdoor maintenance, there are Redbrick models with a coarser profile, a sturdier upper, and S3 certification. These shoes look less like sneakers and more like classic lightweight work shoes, but maintain a sporty line. The profile of the outsole is deeper for better grip on mud, ground, or wet cobblestones. HRO soles and water-repellent uppers ensure that you keep your feet dry and safe even in less than ideal conditions.

High models for extra ankle support

Some Redbrick models are available in a high version. This is interesting if you work on uneven terrain, kneel a lot, or need extra support for your ankle. The high version provides just a bit more stability without sacrificing the modern, sporty look of the shoe.

Size and fit advice for Redbrick work shoes

A good fit is just as important as the right standard. A shoe that pinches or is too loose can lead to fatigue or injuries over time. Keep the following in mind when choosing your Redbrick work shoes:
  • Measure your feet preferably at the end of the day when they are slightly swollen — that’s how they look after a few hours of work.
  • Try on the shoes with the same work socks you normally wear on the job; thin sports socks will give a different result than thick socks.
  • Ensure there’s enough space at the toes — there should be some room between your longest toe and the toe of the shoe.
  • Watch for pressure points at the instep and heel: these are a precursor to blisters with prolonged wear.
  • Some Redbrick lines may run slightly narrower; read the product description and reviews for specific fit info per model.
If you’re in doubt between two sizes, or have a wide foot? Then in most cases, choose the roomier size. Some models are also available in an extra wide version (EEE); check this per shoe. A shoe that is just a bit too tight will always cause problems with prolonged wear.

How to choose the right Redbrick safety shoes?

With multiple models and standards in the collection, the choice can seem overwhelming. Follow these steps to quickly make the right choice:
  • Step 1 — Analyze your work situation: do you work primarily indoors or outdoors? On dry or wet ground? A lot of walking, standing, or kneeling? On a smooth surface or rough outdoor terrain?
  • Step 2 — Choose the right standard: dry indoor environment without perforation risk → S1P. Outdoor work, wet conditions, or risk of nails/screws → S3.
  • Step 3 — Low or high model: do you need a free ankle for a lot of movement and bending? Choose low. Want extra stability on uneven terrain? Choose a high model.
  • Step 4 — Extra wishes: ESD-sensitive environment? Filter for ESD. Metal-free for gates or special workplaces? Filter for metal-free. A lot of walking? Prioritize lightweight and breathable materials.

Frequently asked questions about Redbrick

Redbrick combines the design of a modern sporty sneaker with all the requirements of a certified safety shoe. Traditional work shoes are often heavy, clunky, and not very stylish, while Redbrick models look like you're just wearing a pair of sports shoes. Yet, they incorporate a protective toe cap, puncture-resistant sole, and slip-resistant sole that meet European safety standards. For those who want a polished appearance at work without compromising on protection and comfort, this is a significant advantage.

Redbrick has models for both situations. The lighter, sneaker-like models in S1P are ideal for indoor work in warehouses, logistics, or industry. For construction or outdoor work, there are sturdier Redbrick S3 models with a coarser profile, water-repellent upper, and anti-perforation sole. These are suitable for wet conditions, muddy terrain, and workplaces where perforation is a real risk. Always check the standards and specific features of the model when purchasing to ensure the right choice.

S1P is the standard for dry indoor situations: the shoe has a closed heel, antistatic properties, energy absorption in the heel, and a puncture-resistant sole, but is not specifically water-resistant. S3 goes further and additionally requires a water-repellent upper, a puncture-resistant sole, and a clearly defined profile sole. S3 is therefore suitable for outdoor, construction, and wet or demanding conditions. Simply put: choose S1P for dry indoor work and S3 for outdoor or riskier work environments.

Yes, Redbrick has specific models for women that are tailored to a female last. They generally fit slightly narrower than the unisex or men's models, providing a better fit for most women's feet. Always measure your feet at the end of the day and combine this with the socks you wear at work. If a model runs smaller, it's wise to choose a half to a whole size larger. Check the product description for specific fit tips for each model.

Many Redbrick models are specifically designed for people who are on their feet for a full shift. Thanks to materials like knit, mesh, and EVA midsoles, most safety sneakers from the collection weigh significantly less than classic work shoes. You’ll notice that weight difference at the end of a long day: less fatigue in your legs and feet. For maximum comfort when walking a lot, it’s best to choose an S1P model from the lighter lines and pay attention to the product info regarding sole thickness and material weight.

Regularly clean Redbrick safety shoes after use with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove sand, mud, and dirt. For leather or synthetic uppers, use a mild cleaner suitable for the material; avoid aggressive chemicals that can damage it. Allow the shoes to dry at room temperature after use — never directly on a heater or in full sunlight, as this can dry out the material and warp the midsole. Use shoe trees to maintain their shape and replace the insoles in a timely manner if they become worn. Proper maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of your Redbrick work shoes.
