PANDA SAFETY started operating in 1979 in Cisternino, a splendid town in southern Italy where the company set up to grow and develop. Furthermore, through research into raw materials and increasingly high-performance components, the company managed to offer a product whose durability in time is guaranteed. This geographical location is in no way random, on the contrary, it is the result of the strong determination of the founder and current CEO, Luigi Gargiullo, who has always believed in the potential of his own territory. Over the following years, PANDA SAFETY continued to increase its own know-how, focusing its product development activity on improving the morpho-anatomical characteristics of the footwear and on perfecting the protective function so that they would be suitable for any working context and thus in contact with any type of surface or material. With these extremely high standards of quality, the PANDA SAFETY trademark has earned the trust of numerous distributors and final users both domestically and at an international level, being sold in more than 70 countries all over the world. A result which bears witness to the reliability of the PANDA SAFETY product: your ideal partner at work even in the most extreme conditions.

The company has more than 40 years of experience in the field of PPE. Therefore, it knows in detail the various work environments and the hazards they pose. The company designs and manufactures footwear to best meet the requirements for worker protection. And because nothing matters as much as human health, PANDA SAFETY works only with tested and high-quality materials that meet all the necessary criteria.

Protecting the feet from sharp objects or falling loads is crucial, but it is no less important that the shoe remains comfortable to wear, even during a grueling day. Therefore, the inner sole profile of all models is developed to adapt to the natural structure of the human foot, supporting healthy walking and correct posture. Breathability also contributes to a pleasant feeling not only during a long shift. In the south of Italy, they know well the tropical temperatures and how they give their feet a hard time in closed shoes. That's why PANDA SAFETY shoes come with an inner lining made of breathable Airnet material mesh that quickly wicks away sweat through microchannels. PANDA SAFETY is a guarantee of maximum comfort even when worn all day. The materials that ensure the breathability of the upper are mainly leather, but the lightweight models for summer often come with textile mesh.

All PANDA SAFETY products are certified according to European standards EN ISO 20345:2011 or EN ISO 20347:2012. The company also received ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications.

PANDA SAFETY sandals are the ideal choice for hot weather. The closed toecap provides perfect protection, while the design of the upper with ventilation cross-sections and the internal lining of Airnet mesh ensure breathability and quick sweat wicking. We recommend the following models:

• TOPOLINO NUOVO – a modern design of the iconic sandal
• GAMMA NEOS – facelift of the classic GAMMA model. Available in the O1 variant without a safety toecap or S1 with it.

• ULTRA TOPOLINO – premium version of the classic TOPOLINO. With the composite safety toecap and puncture resistant insole, this shoe perfectly protects the foot. The upper part of the shoe is made of natural water-repellent Ramon leather and the inner lining is made of breathable Airnet mesh. The sandals also stand out with their look and stitching in the color of the Italian tricolor.
