S B: 1. shock-absorbing outsole, and dual density; 2. grease proofing (for 22 hours under 20-degree room temperature); 3. antiskid;  4. steel toe (shock-resistant to 200 Joule energy, and pressure-resistant to 1500 Newton)

SBP: 1.shock-absorbing outsole, and dual density; 2.grease proofing; 3.antiskid; 4.steel toe; 5.steel mid-sole (Penetration Resistant to 1100 Newtons)

S 1: 1. shock-absorbing outsole, and dual density; 2.grease proofing; 3.antiskid; 4.steel toe; 5. anti-static sole

S1P: 1. shock-absorbing outsole, and dual density; 2.grease proofing; 3.antiskid; 4.steel toe; 5. steel mid-sole; 6. anti-static sole

S 2: 1. shock-absorbing outsole, and dual density; 2.grease proofing; 3.antiskid; 4.steel toe; 5.anti-static sole; 6. vamp waterproof 

S 3: 1. shock-absorbing outsole, and dual density; 2.grease proofing; 3.antiskid; 4.steel toe; 5. steel mid-sole; 6. anti-static sole; 7. vamp waterproof
