SAFETY ON SLIPPERY FLOORS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.Dakota was Canada’s #1 brand of industrial footwear long before TARANTULA ANTISLIP® with JStep arrived in restaurants, bars, hotels, warehouses and hospitals. Our industry leading position was won through years of relentless research and development to make work shoes safer, more comfortable and stylish. We’ve built our business on turning required footwear into desired footwear. And this collection of TARANTULA ANTISLIP® with JStep footwear is no different.

“I heard about TARANTULA ANTISLIP® with JStep from my Imagewear consultant last year. Ever since, we’ve been trying them out in our business, and I have to say they’re just as good as everyone says. They don’t slip on wet or even soapy floors—trust me, we’ve tried to make them and they won’t! Almost as important to us, since we spend upwards of 50 hours a week on our feet at work, is the comfort. I’m not exaggerating when I say they fit and feel like a pair of slippers. Plus, they look like a stylish pair of regular dress shoes—so no one has a problem wearing them all the time. I highly recommend JStep for any company wanting to keep their people safe and comfortable.”

FRESHTECH®. FEET STAY AS FRESH AS THEY ARE SAFE.Work shoes don’t tend to be the sweetest things by the end of a long day. Dakota’s tireless work on this problem resulted in FRESHTECH®. Its advanced anti-microbial protection actively inhibits the growth of odour- and stain-causing bacteria for long-lasting freshness. So, while TARANTULA ANTISLIP® with JStep keeps them on their feet, FRESHTECH® works around the clock to keep those feet fresh.

CSA APPROVED. GRADE 1 PROTECTION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.For employees whose feet are also at risk from falling objects from above, or punctures from below, look for the Canadian Standards’ green triangle. This informs you the footwear has been approved as having:

• a Grade 1 protective toe capable of withstanding impacts up to 125 joules—that’s equivalent to a 50 lb object dropping from a two-foot height; and

• a puncture-resistant plate capable of withstanding punctures of a force up to 1200 Newtons—270 lbs—plus it will resist cracking even after 1.5 million flexes

Additionally, of course, if any of those many steps are on slippery surfaces, TARANTULA ANTISLIP® with JStep is there for triple protection.

CSA ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE. INSULATE THEM FROM SHOCKS AS WELL AS SLIPS.The Canadian Standards Association’s orange omega symbol means the footwear provides resistance to electric shock. It contains a heel and heel assembly that’s built to allow the footwear to withstand 18,000 volts and a leakage current not exceeding 1mA. So the only shock your employees will get in these shoes is how well TARANTULA ANTISLIP® with JStep protects them from slips, trips and falls.
