Hvorfor yrkessko fungerer bedre enn sportssko
Uansett om du er sykepleier, postbud, frisør, kontor- eller restaurantarbeider, går og står du store deler av arbeidsdagen. Så skoene dine er viktig for ditt generelle velvære.
Det er altfor mange som går rundt i joggesko, flip flops eller motesko på jobben, uten å tenke på belastningen som skoene forårsaker på muskler og ledd. Mye av fraværet som skyldes fot- og ryggsmerter, kan unngås ved hjelp av riktige og sertifiserte sko.
Det er mange grunner til at du bør legge igjen de private skoene hjemme. De er ikke laget for å brukes åtte timer om dagen – noe som gjør at de raskt slites ned ved daglig bruk. De gir ikke stabiliteten som trengs for å unngå skader. Sålene transporterer ikke fuktighet raskt nok, noe som fører til svette føtter og problemer som negle- og fotsopp.
ESD-beskyttelse for industri og sykehus

I bransjer med sensitivt elektronisk utstyr bør arbeidstakerne alltid bruke ESD-kompatible sko – noe mange arbeidsgivere er i ferd med å oppdage.
«Et sykehus, for eksempel, har livsviktig elektronikk», sier Juho Järvinen, produktlinjesjef for JALAS®-sko hos Ejendals. «ESD-sko er designet for å lede statisk elektrisitet bort fra kroppen. Uten disse vil du, når kroppen har bygget opp en statisk ladning og du berører en enhet, kunne skade elektronikken. I et sykehus kan dette få store konsekvenser. Men også i mange andre jobbsammenhenger.»
How to think about, and select, occupational footwear
Work shoes (also known as “occupational footwear”) can benefit all workers in all industries. The right way to think about work shoes is to think about how you move at work. When you buy hiking and running shoes, you discuss the surface you’re on, how the shoes will be used, and what type of feet you have. You should think the same way when buying occupational footwear.
”Do you walk on hard surfaces?” asks Juho. “Are the floors slippery? Do you do heavy lifting? Do you do moments where you push something in front of you, or pull something behind you? Do you have a job where you stand still, move sideways, or climb? What type of feet do you have? All these questions affect what shoes you need, so it's good to get help from the experts in stores that sell work and safety shoes. They can also scan your feet and thus get an exact fit.”
Make shoes your assets, not your liabilities
There has been great progress when it comes to the design of work shoes. JALAS SpOcs look like a sports shoe but are certified for work and provide both comfort and stability. Their wear surfaces are reinforced, providing longer shoe life than most “street” shoes. JALAS work shoes are tested and certified according to EN ISO 20347:2012 to ensure their durability and safety.
As bad as it is to run the 100-meter hurdles in work shoes, it is just as harmful to walk for eight hours in a running shoe. Which is why we design work shoes that are so stylish that you want to wear them at work.

“And it makes a big difference to your health,” continues Juho. “Many people feel that they become more energetic. The reason why: they aren’t compensating for using the wrong type of shoe, so their body uses less energy. Their shoes go from being a liability to becoming an asset, one that helps them in their work movements and their overall well-being.”
