CSA approved means the footwear meets the safety tests defined in the CSA Z195 standard. These tests confirm impact protection, puncture resistance, and electrical hazard defence when the boot carries the matching mark. The approval tells you the boot passed laboratory testing and earned a verified safety rating.
You can explore a deeper breakdown of in our CSA approved safety shoes guide.
Each rating appears as a specific CSA symbol, and these symbols help you understand exactly what level of protection you get.
Green Triangle
The green triangle marks safety footwear with a Grade 1 protective toe cap and a puncture-resistant sole. It meets the highest CSA Z195 impact rating and includes a plate that helps stop sharp objects from entering through the bottom of the boot. Jobs with heavy materials, sharp debris, or active warehouse movement rely on this symbol.
White Rectangle & Orange Omega
The white rectangle with the orange Omega symbol identifies footwear with electrical shock resistance. It passes CSA testing up to 18,000 volts and contains no exposed metal parts. Workers who handle electrical equipment or work near live circuits depend on this mark for added protection.
SD
The SD symbol appears on footwear that reduces static build-up on the body and moves low-level charges safely into the ground. It helps lower the risk of static discharge in workplaces that handle electronics, chemicals, or sensitive components.
SD+
The SD+ symbol indicates an upgraded level of static control. It removes static charges faster and manages a wider range of surface conditions. Facilities with strict static requirements often use SD+ footwear for added protection around electronic systems and precision equipment.
Metatarsal Protection
The metatarsal symbol marks footwear with built-in protection over the upper foot. It shields the metatarsal bones against falling objects during lifting, loading, or heavy material movement. The protection guard must pass a 75ft-lb (101.7 J) impact test. Workers in industrial settings rely on this feature for extra impact control.
- Labs measure impact clearance in the toe cap after a drop test
- Labs apply compression force to confirm crush resistance
- A steel probe measures how the puncture plate stops sharp objects
- Electrical equipment checks voltage leakage through the boot
- Static testing confirms how fast the boot moves static energy into the ground
- A top-strike test measures protection over the metatarsal area
Regular care keeps safety shoes performing the way they were designed. Start by brushing off dust and workplace debris at the end of each shift, since buildup can shorten the life of the upper and outsole. Wipe the leather or synthetic material with a damp cloth and let the footwear dry at room temperature so the structure does not weaken from heat.
Remove the insoles once in a while to air them out and slow odour buildup. Check the tread for worn areas and look for cuts in the outsole, since damaged traction reduces stability on concrete, steel, and wet surfaces. Clean the toe cap area as well, because dirt trapped around the forefoot can stiffen the upper over time. Consistent maintenance keeps the shoe stable, comfortable, and reliable through daily use.

Myth 2: All Canadian jobsites require CSA
Many Canadian workplaces use CSA rules, but each site sets its own safety requirements, so safety shoe standards can differ widely.

Myth 3: Heavier boots provide more protection
Safety standards measure protection, not weight. Toe caps, plates, and outsoles pass tests regardless of mass.

Let customers speak for us
These rubber boots are easy to slip on and to get off. The double loops at the front and back of the boot make it easier. They are waterproof and completely sealed except for the expansion elastic panels on the sides at the ankles. They are fairly comfortable.
The tread is deep to give lots of traction but maybe hard to clean out mud. I recommend having a boot brush. Also included with the boots are some insole spacers that can be put under the main insole if the boot needs to be a little tighter. These boots have a nice toe box with lots of room for your toes to move.
They have composite safety toes which are nice when doing outside work. These are great for working in the garden or doing yard work.
These Chelsea work boots from MooseLog are really nice! The craftsmanship is top-notch, featuring smooth leather and tidy stitching throughout. The slip-on design makes them super easy to wear, and I had no trouble getting my feet inside. In terms of fit, they were mostly true to size but slightly loose. Thankfully, a pair of trimmable inserts is included. Lastly, the rubber soles provide excellent grip. Highly recommended!
Got these to wear on my motorcycle. They are true to size so I didnt need to use the inserts. The quality is excellent. They are lightweight for being steel-toed! That was exciting. They are a Chelsea boot style which is what I was looking for. The tread is very good. I wore them around for a couple hours while cleaning my house and they are really comfortable!
Review of - MooseLog Mens Chelsea Work Boots Leather, Brown 10
These boots look great, they are well-made and fit my size 10 foot correctly. They are a bit loose which allows room for thick socks. I plan to wear them in the winter with thick wool socks when my feet tend to get cold.
I weigh these size 10 boots at 1.56 lb each, which, to me, is a little heavy. Most of the weight seems to be in the thick protective soles.
Considering that they are well-made, attractive, nicely fitting slip-on boots designed for protection, I give them 5 stars.
Excellent quality. I had some room to spare in these, but I tried them on without socks. That is the only thing I worry about is that they may be a wee bit too big, like I should have gotten. Half size down. Anyway, they are thick. I only wore them around the house but they are comfortable and dont see an issue for when I have to wear them for a few hours. I havent been out in the rain in them yet. I will test that out next
I picked these up for my husband, and they seriously exceeded both our expectations. Hes typically between a size 11.5 and 12, and the mens size 12 fit him with room to sparethick socks and all. No squeezing, no awkward tight spots. Just a nice, easy fit that felt secure without being stiff.
One of the first things we noticed was how substantial these boots are. Theyre not flimsy or lightweight in that maybe-these-will-last-a-month kind of way. These are built to handle real weather and rough wear. He was immediately impressed by how solid the material felt, especially the base and tread, which give great support while still letting him move comfortably.
Comfort-wise, he actually said they were way more wearable than most other rain boots hes triedwhich is saying something, because he's not exactly easy to please when it comes to footwear.
The all-black design is sleek and understated, making them versatile enough to toss on for yard work, running errands, or walking the dog when its coming down hard. They check all the right boxes for him: tough, practical, and surprisingly comfortable.
Very comfortable. Ive been looking for some slip on work boots and these fit great. Easy on and easy off. Very comfortable. Comes with a foam spacer if they are too loose. Good for hot days with thin socks but thick socks are the most comfortable.
My husband loves them.
I wear them 8+ hours a day in the warehouse and can’t believe I ever spent money on any other pair.
Been wearing these boots on concrete every day. no complains so far, no blisters, they feel lighter than most work boots. Will grab another pair when these retire.
My Son loves 'em!
Comfy, put together right... and they look great! so far so good. Worth it! ty :)
Stellar
These are very comfortable to wear and easy to put on. Made very well and do not weigh too much for a work boot.
I like the composite toe as it lightens the shoe for all-day comfort.
Waterproof and looks good at the same time.
I have had some very expensive boots, and these rank right up there with them.
Great boot to wear all day.
Hauling blocks, mixing mortar, and working on rough ground all day, these hold up great. Fit is spot on, easy to slip on, and they stay put. Composite toe is way better than steel.
I’m on my feet all day working in heat, dust, and rough surfaces, and these boots have been holding up great, 10+ hours my feet still feel good.
Sizing was spot on. The slip-on style saves time in the mornings and stays secure without being tight. I’ve owned steel-toe boots before, but I actually like these more. The composite toe doesn’t heat up, and it took the hit when a heavy tool dropped. For the price, these are worth every dollar.
