ABSTRACT:
A safety shoe for use in working on slippery surfaces has an upper portion secured to a flexible rubber sole. A flexible fastener secured to the bottom of the sole has hooked elements which removably secure a fibrous sole pad thereon. The juncture of the upper and sole is overlapped by a rubber strip element which secures the juncture and provides improved appearance. A conventional toe guard may be affixed to the perimeter of the toe portion of the strip element. A cushioned inner pad is contained within the shoe on the top surface of the sole. The preferred sold pad is formed of interlocked polyester or nylon fibers to provide a long-lasting pad which is not appreciably depreciated by floor cleaning compounds and provides traction on the slippery surface. The sole pads are of a material conventionally used in cleaning floors and in stripping wax from floors. The sole pads are secured by a pressing them onto the bottom of the shoe and are removed by peeling them off. They may also be provided in sets ranging in thickness and density, and varying fiber materials to adapt to various types of working conditions. In addition to providing the desired traction on slippery surfaces, the sole pads may be used to exert concentrated scrubbing action by foot motion.
