Your KPR product is warranted against material and manufacturing faults when sold in as manufactured condition for a period of six months from the date of purchase.
If you’re experiencing an issue with your KPR shoes, we would love to give them a proper evaluation. Either contact your supplier/agent or email to sales@kprsafety.com.sg. Our warranty team will examine your claim form and photos.
This warranty is limited to the replacement with an identical or equivalent product. The proof of purchase (Invoice) and, if required by the KPR or your supplier, your returned product, must accompany your claim. Otherwise, this warranty is void. It is important to note that it will be up to the discretion of the warranty manager as to whether the claim will be approved or denied if a receipt can’t be provided.
This warranty is void if, in the opinion of the manufacturer, this product has been deliberately damaged or used in an application and/or environment for which it is not designed.
All KPR’s products are based on the UK sizing system. Please find the size conversion chart below:
Reference the size of the shoe you are currently wearing. Our shoes are designed for a generous fit and can accommodate thicker socks. If you normally wear size 11 shoes comfortably, please choose our size 10 for a better fit.
To determine if your boots are the correct size, please use our shoe size chart to help you decide.
If your footwear is the correct size, you should have a finger’s width between your heel and the back of the boot to provide maximum protection and comfort.
To maintain your shoes, remove any excess dirt after use and clean them with a wet cloth. Allow them to dry in a well-ventilated area to enhance hygiene and prolong their lifespan. Avoid drying wet footwear directly on heaters, with a fan heater, or using a shoe dryer, as excessive heat may damage the materials.

As a guide, in tropical conditions, the standard PU sole found in most safety shoes typically can store between 1.5 to 2 years from the date of manufacture.
Footwear must be stored and transported properly, preferably in cardboard packaging in a dry environment. Footwear should not be stored at temperatures over 25°C or in environments with humidity levels of over 70%.
The month and year of production can be found on the tongue label, outsole of the footwear, and the shoe box label.

The service depends on usage conditions, exposure to elements such as heat, moisture, chemicals and, construction elements.
Before each use, inspect the shoes for visible damage, including wear on the upper material, outsole, and functionality of fasteners (where applicable). If any damage is found, the shoes should be replaced.
Safety shoes have more features because they have to provide more protection.
Safety shoes come equipped with essential protective features, such as protective toe caps and anti-penetration inserts, which naturally add to their weight. Additionally, the sole materials used in safety footwear must meet significantly higher standards than those in casual shoes, ensuring durability, stability, and protection in demanding work environments.
KPR offers two main toe cap options – steel and composite.
Regardless of the material (Meets EN 20345 and SS513: 2013 standards) , toe caps for safety shoes must meet the same requirements. They are tested in a drop test (200 joules of drop energy, which is equivalent to approximately 20 kg from a drop height of one metre).
The remaining space under the toe cap at maximum load is then measured and evaluated against the required minimum clearance based on the shoe size.
Composite toecaps are lighter than steel toecaps. KPR composite toe cap, used in our Safety Shoes, reduces stress and fatigue on the legs and joints throughout long workdays yet they are strong enough to protect your feet against impact and compression.
All KPR Safety Footwear with a safety toe cap complies with the following safety standards:
Singapore Standard SS513.
European Standard EN ISO20345.
The choice of the best sole material depends on the workplace and the associated risk analysis. Polyurethane soles are lighter and more flexible, while rubber soles offer better resistance to heat, cuts, and chemicals. For instance, polyurethane soles are unsuitable for heat-resistant environments, as they would melt under high temperatures.
A steel midsole in the shoe protects from perforation or the penetration of sharp objects through the outsole. KPR offers two main mid-sole options – steel and textile. Read the below to decide which will work best for your needs.
Steel Sole Plate – Anti-puncture Steel soleplate offers protection against sharp objects that could penetrate the outsole of the shoe. Developed to withstand a force of 1100N (Meets EN 20345).
Textile Board – Anti-puncture textile board offers protection against sharp objects that could penetrate the outsole of the shoe. Lightweight, flexible, and airport-friendly. Developed to withstand a force of 1100N (Meets EN 20345).
The problem is due to a process known as hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of the PU polymer and the resulting disintegration of the PU sole accelerated by the high humidity in tropical climates.
As a consequence, PU loses flexibility over time and gradually becomes brittle, and starts cracking and crumbling.
The aging of safety shoes is an entirely normal process that all PU-soled shoes go through. With proper care and storage of safety shoes in a dry and well-ventilated space, hydrolysis should not be a common problem.
Slipping, tripping, and falling are the main causes of accidents on the work floor. KPR’s selection of footwear meets or exceeds the European EN ISO20345 slip resistance standards.
All KPR safety shoes are certified as slip-resistant according to European standards – SRC certification. For assistance in selecting the right shoe for your needs, please reach out to our customer service team, who will be happy to help.
Anyone working in construction or outdoor work environment often faces surfaces that are often slippery and uneven. Therefore, a well-designed chucky, deeply threaded- outsole provides crucial traction, reducing the risk of slipping, ankle twists, and other injuries. It also offers greater safety when walking over rubble, debris or on muddy terrain.
Anti-static shoes are designed with a specialized sole that helps dissipate electrostatic charges, preventing the buildup of static electricity. To achieve this, they must maintain a specific contact resistance that allows for controlled discharge. All KPR shoes feature anti-static properties.
Insulating footwear is not covered by the DIN EN ISO 20344 to 20347 standards for safety, protective, and work shoes. Instead, it has its own specific standard, DIN EN 50321-1. Footwear made from outer materials such as leather, textiles, or similar cannot meet the required testing criteria. Only polymer overshoes or boots are eligible, and these must undergo special testing.
Various upper shoe materials are available, depending on the intended use and risk analysis. Textiles are lightweight and breathable, microfibre leather is also lightweight, breathable, and durable, while leather is known for its robustness and heat resistance.
