The global safety footwear market continues to evolve with increased emphasis on worker protection. According to recent industrial safety reports, foot injuries account for approximately 7% of all workplace injuries annually. Premium steel midsoles have become essential safety components, providing critical protection against sharp objects penetrating the sole.
Our High Quality EN Standard Stainless Steel Midsole represents the pinnacle of protective technology. Made from premium stainless steel, our midsoles deliver exceptional puncture resistance while exceeding international safety standards. The advanced epoxy resin matte powder spray coating enhances adhesion and provides superior rust protection.
Engineered to perfection, our stainless steel midsoles are designed to provide the ultimate balance of protection, durability, and comfort. The precise technical specifications ensure compliance with the most stringent safety requirements.

At our EN-certified facilities, we implement rigorous quality control throughout the steel midsole production process. From material selection to final inspection, every step is monitored according to ISO 9001 and EN 12568 compliance requirements.
The Pux Alloy steel stainless midsole for safety shoes is engineered for diverse environments:
Experience the superior protection of certified stainless steel midsoles manufactured to exacting standards
Request Technical SpecificationsA: Premium stainless steel midsoles offer superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to composite alternatives. With a minimum 1200N penetration resistance and endurance beyond 1,100,000 flex cycles, stainless steel provides optimal protection against sharp hazards while maintaining flexibility. The molecular structure of high-carbon stainless steel resists permanent deformation under impact loads.
A: EN 12568 requires a minimum penetration resistance of 1100N and flex endurance of 1 million cycles. CSA Z195-02 requires slightly higher impact protection levels at 1200N with 1.5 million flex cycles. Our stainless steel midsoles exceed both standards with 1200N penetration resistance and 1.1 million verified flex cycles.
A: Industry testing shows that 0.49mm stainless steel offers the ideal balance between protection and flexibility. Thinner materials compromise penetration resistance while thicker plates increase fatigue and reduce comfort. Our precision-engineered 0.49mm thickness maintains compliance while enhancing durability.
A: Our specialized matte powder spray coating provides three critical benefits: (1) Enhanced adhesion with shoe components during manufacturing, (2) Superior corrosion resistance exceeding salt spray test requirements, (3) Reduced friction between layers during flex cycles, extending the functional lifespan of the safety footwear.
A: Grade 420 stainless steel (1.4021) is ideal for steel plate midsoles due to its high carbon content (0.15% min) and chromium content (12-14%). This combination provides the necessary hardness for penetration resistance while maintaining sufficient ductility to withstand repeated flex cycles without fracturing. Lower grades like 304 stainless lack adequate hardness for maximum protection.
A: The integration process requires precision: (1) The midsole must be positioned between the outsole and insole, (2) Proper bonding adhesives must be applied under controlled temperature (150-170°C), (3) A minimum 24-hour curing period ensures adhesion integrity, (4) Perimeter stitching enhances structural integrity in high-stress areas.
A: At our EN-certified facilities, we conduct: (1) Raw material spectrometry analysis, (2) Thickness measurements at 6 points per plate, (3) Automated visual inspection for micro-cracks, (4) Statistical process control of stamping parameters, (5) Batch testing for penetration and flex resistance, (6) Salt spray corrosion validation.
"The evolution of steel midsoles has significantly reduced occupational foot injuries in high-risk industries. Modern stainless steel designs provide protection levels that were unachievable a decade ago."
