Civet to Vivvera: Mallcom Safety Shoes Redefine Comfort

Most workers do not notice their shoes until the moment they fail. A misstep on an oily surface, a twist on uneven ground, or an unexpected object crashing down is enough to turn footwear into the difference between safety and serious injury. For both dealers and end-users, this moment of failure is what safety shoes are designed to prevent. Yet, the critical choice between high ankle safety shoes and low ankle safety shoes is often reduced to mere preference when it should be dictated by purpose.

Mallcom, as a long-standing expert in industrial safety, equips India’s workforce with protective gear that matches every task with the right defence. When it comes to selecting safety shoes for workers, understanding the role of ankle coverage is key to making informed and reliable choices.

High Ankle Safety Shoes for Enhanced Protection

High ankle safety shoes offer stability where the environment offers none. These shoes wrap around the ankle, providing reinforced support for workers navigating unpredictable terrain, handling heavy loads or working in conditions with frequent movement and high physical stress.

Mallcom’s VIVVERA S1 SRC exemplifies this category. Designed with Barton grain leather, steel toe caps resistant to 200 joule impact and antistatic soles with oil and slip resistance, VIVVERA is engineered for high-risk sectors. From petroleum refineries to emergency response zones, the high ankle support guards against sprains and enhances balance in fast-paced environments. The PU-coated synthetic collar ensures added comfort without compromising safety, making it ideal for long workdays in hazardous areas.

Low Ankle Safety Shoes for Flexibility and Comfort

Where high ankle shoes bring reinforcement, low ankle safety shoes offer ease. For indoor and moderately hazardous conditions such as pharmaceutical units, assembly lines or logistics operations, low ankle shoes allow more freedom of movement, quicker steps and less fatigue.

Mallcom’s CIVET S1BG SRC DD delivers robust safety in a more agile format. Like its high-ankle counterpart, it features a steel toe cap, dual-density PU sole, and energy-absorbing heel. The difference lies in its cut, which is lower around the ankle to allow faster and more natural movement. For warehouse workers, technicians, or medical responders, this balance of safety and mobility keeps productivity high without compromising protection.

Match Environment to Equipment

A critical role of dealers is not just selling but recommending. Workers in rugged, outdoor or uneven environments benefit most from the full coverage security of high ankle shoes. Low ankle models, meanwhile, are better suited to clean, structured spaces with a lower risk of foot twisting or debris entry.

All Mallcom footwear options, whether high or low ankle, are built to the same exacting standards, EN ISO 20345:2011 and IS 15298 Part 2 2016, ensuring no compromise on core safety features. The differentiation lies in how the shoe aligns with the physical demands of the workspace.
