The WorkMode Story
Over 30 years ago, Shoe For Crews founder Stan Smith noticed a rise in workplace injuries caused by slip and falls and discovered a need to create a solution that would eliminate the problem. In 1984, the Shoes for Crews brand was formed, and our slip-resistant outsole technology was invented. Since then, we’ve protected millions of workers and lowered workers’ compensation costs for thousands of businesses across the globe.
Today, Shoes for Crews is the industry standard and trusted leader in safety footwear solutions for more than 150,000 companies around the world. We are committed to providing carefully crafted footwear for your entire team to ensure that they are protected every step of the way!
The Shoes For Crews brand has been preventing slip-fall injuries in New Zealand workplaces since 2001, and is the only non-slip footwear product on the market.
We established WorkMode Safety in early 2021 to continue supporting workplaces in NZ to prevent serious injury while providing comfortable, stylish footwear. Injury prevention is the most important part of our offering, while also providing real comfort and support for people on their feet all day.
