FAQ's on Ttorp
Ben 01C Safety Shoe
1. Are lightweight safety shoes (800-850g) better option?
Lighter shoes often use low-density PU soles, which compromise durability, abrasion resistance, and safety. These soles wear out faster, increasing the risk of accidents over time.
TTORP BEN 01C, at 1050g, ensures a balance of weight, comfort, and robust durability.
2. What’s the risk of low-density PU soles?
Low-density PU soles are prone to:
Abrasion: Faster wear and tear on rough surfaces.
Weak Grip: Reduced slip resistance, increasing fall risks.
Cracking: Higher susceptibility to cracks under heavy loads or temperature fluctuations.
BEN 01C features high-density PU soles, providing superior grip, durability, and chemical resistance.
3. How does the weight of BEN 01C ensure better safety?
While slightly heavier at 1050g, the weight reflects the shoe’s:
High-quality PU sole
Reinforced steel toe cap, offering better protection, longevity, and comfort for workers in demanding environments.
4. Are low-weight shoes with poor toe caps safe for heavy-duty work?
No. Many low-weight shoes use thinner or compromised toe caps, which may not withstand the required 200 joules impact as per ISI and EN standards.
BEN 01C uses certified steel toe caps, ensuring maximum safety in high-risk industrial tasks.
5. What makes TTORP BEN 01C soles better than low-quality alternatives?
The high-density PU sole in BEN 01C:
Meets IS 15298 Standards: Ensures slip, oil, and chemical resistance.
Provides Better Shock Absorption: Reduces strain on workers during long shifts.
Extends Lifespan: Withstands wear and tear, unlike low-density soles.

Compromised materials reduce costs but also significantly lower safety and durability.
BEN 01C offers long-term value by preventing frequent replacements and ensuring worker safety.
7. Are lighter shoes always more comfortable?
Not necessarily. While lighter shoes may feel less cumbersome, they often sacrifice structural integrity and protection.
BEN 01C is ergonomically designed with a cushioned in-sock and breathable lining, ensuring all-day comfort without compromising safety.
8. How do compromised toe caps fail under heavy loads?
Inferior toe caps may bend or crack under pressure, failing to protect workers from injuries caused by falling objects.
BEN 01C uses certified steel toe caps that can withstand heavy impacts as required by industry standards.
