Reviews
The sign itself is great, but the self-adhesive version didn’t grip our textured wall very well. Once up with screws it’s solid and looks professional.
We went for the rigid plastic version and it looks really smart on the wall. People instantly notice it, and it’s helped reinforce our footwear rule without having to constantly remind staff.
Does what it says - informs people about protective footwear — but the finish felt a bit cheap compared to other signage we’ve used. Suitable enough, but could be better quality
Bought a few of these for our construction site - they’re visible even in poor light and they’ve definitely helped with compliance. Strongly recommend for anyone serious about site safety.
It’s a standard protective footwear sign - clear enough and meets PPE requirements, but nothing fancy. Works fine indoors, but I’d choose a more robust material for outside.
Very clear message and durable build. Only reason for four stars is that I thought the standard size would be a bit bigger for outdoor viewing. Still does the job well though.
