R&D vision and processes
At PERF, research stems from a focus on regulatory changes and the evolution of materials.
Each new collection is the result of collaboration between planners, designers and engineers, who combine creativity, technology and professional expertise to merge prevention and aesthetics.
We constantly monitor updates to European standards and carefully select raw materials, such as high-thickness leathers, breathable membranes and high grip soles, to develop safety shoes that exceed standards and accompany professionals in any context.
Innovation and laboratory testing
Our laboratory, supported by certified centres, performs abrasion resistance, slip resistance, shock tests and prolonged use simulations. Each prototype is evaluated for durability, ergonomics and thermal performance.
Continuous innovation results in solutions such as advanced cushioning systems, anatomical insoles and dual-density soles that provide grip and comfort. The result is a range of footwear that combines lightness, stability and protection, designed to meet the specific needs of every worker.

Certifications and collaborations
All Perf safety shoes comply with EN ISO 20345 and S1P, S2 and S3 requirements. We work with certification bodies and research institutes to validate our innovations and improve our products based on user feedback. Every new compound or material is tested for grip and resistance to chemical or thermal agents.
Technologies for all types of work shoes
The R&D department has developed patented technologies. Each component is designed to improve comfort and ergonomics without compromising style.
-
Shock absorption systems;
-
Slip-resistant soles with bi-component compounds;
-
Non-magnetic composite toecaps;
-
Breathable linings with antibacterial treatments.
Focus on sustainability and guaranteed durability
Innovation also means reducing environmental impact: we use recycled materials and low-energy production processes. We recommend taking care of your shoes to prolong their life: air them after use, clean them with soft brushes and nourish the leather with specific products, avoiding direct heat sources. These good practices help maintain performance and reduce waste.
