THOR we recommend especially when working in the food industry or in kitchens, but also to caregivers, for example in geriatrics.

ODEN has especially been designed for professionals in hospitals and medical practices but is also suited for hostelry and service as well as wellness and spa. The rubber outer sole protects on wet and dry surfaces.

The narrow fit is perfect for slim feet. Available in 11 colours.
SKOLL is an all-rounder work shoe suited for all sectors. They offer great value at a competitive price. The heel is partially covered around your feet and therefore can perfectly be combined with insoles. Skoll have a rather wide fit. Available in 6 colours.

4 professional work shoes for wellness and spa
Are you working in the wellness sector – maybe as beautician, physiotherapist or you are working in a spa? Here are 4 proFASHIONal clogs for you, developed for those who are on their feet all day long.
Our first recommendation of course are Oden with its rubber outer sole providing better grip. They are ultralight, ergonomic and available in 11 colours which make them easy to mix and match. Oden absorb the bodyweight and provide a relaxing feeling in feet, knees and back. It's an ideal shoe where prolonged standing or walking may tend to induce foot discomfort or lower body fatigue. They are easy to clean being resistant to dissolvent, detergents and can be chemically disinfected, for example with chlorine.
We also recommend the following three models:
Skoll: an ultralight and comfortable Clog. Skoll requires up to 70% less muscle effort than regular shoes and provide a relaxing feeling in knees, legs and back. Available in 6 colours. They are easy to clean being resistant to dissolvent, detergents and can be chemically disinfected, for example with chlorine. Skoll partially covers the heel and can be combined with insoles.
Nordic: A comfortable clog with exchangeable insoles and integrated Air-Tech TM system with breathable membranes. Nordic partially cover your feet around the heel.
Thor / Thor Plus+ : Ultralight and robust, this clog comes with enclosed heel and reinforced toe and heel area for more protection. Its non-slip rubber outer sole for maximum grip is suitable for oily and soapy surfaces. Well suited for work in wet areas.
Which colour are your work shoes? Here’s what your favourite colour reveals.
It might sound rather peculiar, but it is said that a person’s favourite colour tells us something about their character. So what is your favourite colour? As you see, Suecos® professional shoe wear comes in many pretty colours which inspired us to put together a list of the most common colours and their symbolic meaning for you:
Red – This signal colour even has two meanings. On one side it stands for danger, but also for love and sensuousness. People who favour red often tend to be extroverted, impulsive and know what they want. Red is the colour of energy.
Pink – is probably the most feminine of all colours. It suggests briskness, liveliness and affection. People with pink being their favourite colour are usually very creative, imaginative and even playful.
Orange – makes us feel warm and cosy, however not just because we relate it to tropical fruit or sunrises. It was also found that orange has an appetizing effect. If you like orange you are likely to be a very sociable person and mostly in a positive good mood.
Green – This colour makes us first think of nature, growth and vigour. Besides it is the colour of hope and luck; and on most people it has a harmonising and calming effect. Most fans of the colour green tend to be rather calm, balanced and optimistic.
By the way, besides its positive influence on light reflection and visual differentiation in hospitals, “surgical green“ has yet another advantage: Because green and blue are associated with calmness, most patients feel less unsettled by colourful scrubs than white coats.
Blue – stands for trust and peace and has a calming and reassuring effect on us. It is also related to friendship, harmony and reliability. On the other hand it can seem a little cold. Those who love blue are likely to be diplomatic, kind and caring.
Purple – is the colour of spirituality and feminism. It is also seen as secretive, exceptional and intuitive and is something for idealists and free spirits. It stands for self-assurance, relaxation and placidity. People who favour purple often have great humour and are creative and imaginative.
White – stands for purity, cleanliness and perfection. It is the colour of innocence and modesty. Who likes white is often rather reserved and even-tempered and can well appreciate spending time on their own.
Black – is associated with power, strength and mystery, but also makes us think of grief and evil: black is worn on most funerals. However the LBD (or little black dress) will never be out of fashion. This colour stands for elegance and grandeur. Many people who prefer black tend to be rather realistic, success-oriented and can be a little secretive.
Of course there are a lot more colours around and they all have a different impact on every individual, so that it really can’t be generalised.
Be safe
Imagine a professional runner wearing ballerinas when training – that doesn’t seem right?
As you know, professionals need appropriate footwear, suited for their individual needs and working environment. It is essential for their health and safety at work; and of course staff efficiency. Just as the athlete needs professional running shoes in order to meet his target, staff needs adequate footwear to work effectively.
Socrates once said: "when your feet hurt, you hurt all over" which can impede work. Health problems can be avoided if employers and professionals are consciously aware of the risks and proactively choose safe and comfortable footwear. In the long run it will avoid health issues and therefore reduce sick leave.
Additionally following 7 actions should be taken to reduce feet and back problems and improve your staff’s health and productivity:
- Avoid fixed positions and increase the number of body motions. This can be done through job rotation.
- The floor can be crucial to reduce accidents and foot pain.
- Teach correct postures for dealing with heavy loads.
- Advise on adequate shoe maintenance.
- Add health signs in the workplace, for example to raise awareness of steps or slippery grounds.
- Ensure sufficient natural light.
- Flexibility and non-slip properties (both floor and appropriate footwear) reduce accidents at work.
Suecos®’ mission is to bring you the best of both: design and comfort. Our shoes protect staff´s feet from risks they are continuously exposed at daily level. We are aware of your needs such as toe protection and non-slip properties, just to name a few. We want you to feel energized, healthy and safe at work.
