Step Into Safety: Why Footwear Belongs in Every Uniform Program

When it comes to outfitting your workforce, the conversation often starts with shirts, pants, and outerwear — but too often stops short of what’s most critical: footwear. At Hanover Uniform, we believe that a complete uniform program should begin from the ground up. That’s why we’ve expanded our capabilities to include premium work and safety footwear from trusted brands like Reebok Work, Timberland PRO, Keen Utility, and Carhartt — seamlessly integrated into the same platform that manages your uniforms: CROS (Customer Remote Ordering System).

Why Footwear Matters

Work shoes aren’t just part of the uniform — they’re essential PPE. A comfortable, compliant, and durable pair of shoes can:

  • Prevent workplace injuries and fatigue

  • Increase comfort and productivity

  • Enhance professional appearance and consistency across your workforce

  • Reduce costly claims or downtime due to poor footwear choices

Whether your employees are standing all day in a warehouse, working outdoors in unpredictable weather, or walking miles through airport terminals, the right footwear keeps them protected and performing their best.

Simplify the Process with CROS

What separates Hanover from typical distributors is our technology-first approach. Through CROS, our online ordering and allowance management system, companies can:

  • Allocate footwear allowances by employee, department, or location

  • Track spending and eligibility for both uniforms and footwear in one place

  • Provide employees with approved, safety-compliant options

  • Enable direct-to-employee shipping with built-in reporting and audit trails

This eliminates the hassle of managing multiple vendors or spreadsheets. Employees get exactly what they need, while administrators gain complete visibility and control.

The Power of Local Service

Hanover’s 50,000-square-foot facility in Baltimore, MD isn’t just a warehouse — it’s an extension of your safety program. Our on-site fitting events, same-day shipping, and dedicated Customer Success Managers ensure that your footwear program runs as smoothly as your uniform program.

Whether you’re outfitting 50 employees or 5,000, we’ll help you design a program that fits — literally and operationally.

Start Small, Think Big

If your organization already provides uniforms through Hanover, expanding into footwear is seamless. We can start with:

  • Adding footwear allowances to your existing CROS setup

  • Hosting fitting days to help employees find the right size and style

  • Offering pilot programs for key departments (warehouse, transportation, facilities)

Once employees experience the comfort and quality of Hanover’s footwear selection, participation — and satisfaction — naturally grows.

Step Forward with Hanover

Safety, comfort, and consistency all start at ground level. By integrating footwear into your uniform program, you’re not just buying shoes — you’re investing in your team’s performance and well-being.
