Gazelle Safety Shoes in the UAE, Built for Every Worksite

Every Gazelle safety shoe in the featured lineup meets the EN ISO 20345 standard, which is the benchmark European requirement for industrial footwear. Depending on the application, models come with either an S1 SR or S3 safety rating. All shoes feature a 200J toe-cap for impact protection, while the S3 models provide 1100N puncture resistance through a steel mid-plate. These ratings are often more expensive elsewhere, but you can find them here at a competitive price.

Composite Toe, Metal-Free Options

Gazelle safety shoes, including models GS9910 RAPID, GS9920 RAIDER, GS9930 ULTRA, GS9940 FORGE, and GS9960 BOLT, feature a 200J composite toe cap instead of traditional steel. Here are some key benefits of this design:

• Lighter Weight: Some models weigh as little as 1.0–1.2 kg per pair, making a significant difference during a 10-hour shift.
• Thermal Insulation: The composite material does not conduct heat, so your toes will stay warm in the winter and won't feel hot in the summer.
• Airport and Metal Detector Friendly: These shoes are ideal for technicians traveling between sites, as they won't set off metal detectors.
• ESD-Certified Option: The GS9940 FORGE model is specifically designed for electrostatic discharge environments, making it suitable for electronics manufacturing, petrochemical industries, and oil and gas applications.

The main reason safety shoes are often kicked off in a corner is the discomfort experienced during long work hours. Gazelle safety shoes address this issue directly by incorporating high-density K208 mesh insoles, 3D mesh linings with additional micro-fiber, double-density PU outsoles, and U-shaped heel support for even weight distribution. Additionally, they feature heel cushioning that is up to 12mm thick. These design elements significantly enhance comfort, improve compliance, and help reduce workplace injuries.

Slip, Oil, and Abrasion Resistance

Accidents, such as slips, trips & falls, are among the leading causes of workplace injuries worldwide. Gazelle safety shoes feature dual-density and high-density PU outsoles that are specifically designed to offer excellent traction on wet, oily, and dusty surfaces. This makes them highly preferable in workshops, commercial settings, and wash-down areas.
