Komico Eco: Affordable Protection That Doesn't Cut Corners
In Indian industry, workplace safety isn't optional — it's a legal requirement. Yet millions of workers still wear uncertified footwear on factory floors, construction sites, and warehouses every day. The Komico Eco was built to change that — ISI certified steel toe protection at a price point that makes safety compliance possible for every worker, every shift, every site.

Why Protective Footwear Is Non-Negotiable for Workplace Safety
India's industrial sector — manufacturing, construction, mining, logistics — employs over 100 million workers. The Factories Act, 1948 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 mandate that employers provide appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to every worker exposed to workplace hazards. Footwear with steel toe protection is among the most fundamental safety requirements at any worksite.
Foot injuries account for a significant portion of industrial accidents in India. Falling objects, sharp debris, chemical spills, slippery floors, and electrical hazards are everyday risks on factory floors and construction sites. A single foot injury can put a worker out of action for weeks — costing both the worker's livelihood and the employer's productivity.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has established clear standards for industrial footwear: IS 15298 for PU-soled safety shoes and IS 17043 for PVC-soled industrial protective footwear. Footwear sold under these standards must carry the ISI mark after passing rigorous BIS testing — uncertified shoes offer no guaranteed protection, regardless of appearance.
The Problem: Cost vs. Safety Compliance
For large factories, construction companies, and contractors deploying hundreds or thousands of workers, the cost of protective footwear adds up fast. A premium PU safety shoe at ₹1,200–1,500 per pair across a workforce of 500 workers means ₹6–7.5 lakhs just in footwear.
This cost pressure pushes many employers toward the cheapest options in the market — often uncertified, unbranded shoes that look like safety footwear but lack genuine steel toe caps, proper sole composition, and ISI certification. Workers wear them, accidents happen, and both the worker and the employer pay the price.
The Komico Eco exists to solve this exact problem: genuine ISI certified steel toe protection at a price that makes bulk safety compliance economically viable.
Komico Eco: What You Get at ₹799
At an MRP of just ₹799, the Komico Eco is the most accessible shoe in the Komico range — but "affordable" does not mean "basic." Every pair carries genuine ISI certification under IS 17043 Part 2: 2024 and is manufactured at our own factory in Sonipat, Haryana with the same quality control processes as our premium models.
Steel Toe Cap
Genuine steel toe cap tested to IS 17043 Part 2: 2024 impact requirements. Protects against falling objects, compression, and accidental impacts — the single most critical safety feature for any industrial worker.
PVC Sole — Oil & Acid Resistant
Durable PVC sole engineered to resist oils, acids, chemicals, and fuels commonly found on factory floors. Anti-skid tread pattern provides grip on wet and oily surfaces for safer footing.
Synthetic Leather Upper
Durable synthetic leather upper built to withstand daily industrial wear. Provides consistent quality, easy maintenance, and reliable performance across all working conditions.
Textile Insole
Textile insole provides basic cushioning for everyday comfort. The shoe is designed for reliable all-day wear across standard shift lengths.
ISI Certified — IS 17043 Part 2: 2024
Every pair carries the genuine ISI mark under IS 17043 Part 2: 2024 — the BIS standard for PVC moulded industrial protective footwear. This is not a self-declaration — it means the shoe has passed BIS testing for impact resistance, sole adhesion, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance.
Industries Where Komico Eco Fits Best
The Eco is designed for workplaces where PPE compliance and worker safety are mandatory but budgets are tight. It's the go-to choice for:
General Manufacturing
Assembly lines, packaging units, textile mills, food processing plants — any factory floor where steel toe protection and slip resistance are required for worker safety.
Construction Sites
Residential and commercial construction, road building, civil works. Contractor crews and sub-contractor labour who need certified PPE footwear on every site.
Warehousing & Logistics
Distribution centres, cold storage facilities, loading docks. Workers handling heavy pallets, forklifts, and shelving need toe protection as a basic safety measure.
Small Workshops & MSMEs
Welding shops, automotive garages, carpentry workshops. Even small-scale operations must comply with workplace safety norms — the Eco makes that affordable.
Infrastructure Projects
Metro construction, highway projects, bridge building. Large-scale deployments where hundreds of workers need protective footwear on day one for safety compliance.
Agriculture & Rural Industry
Sugar mills, rice mills, dairy processing, and rural manufacturing units. Affordable ISI certified protection where workers have traditionally gone without proper footwear.
How Komico Eco Is Different from Other Budget Shoes
The Indian industrial footwear market is flooded with cheap, unbranded options — especially in the ₹400–800 range. Many claim to offer safety and protection but carry no ISI certification, use plastic toe caps instead of steel, and fall apart within weeks. Here's what separates Komico Eco:
| Feature | Komico Eco | Unbranded Alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| ISI Certification | IS 17043 Part 2: 2024 (verified) | Usually absent or fake |
| Toe Cap | Genuine steel toe | Often plastic / composite |
| Upper Material | Synthetic Leather | Rexine / low-grade synthetic |
| Sole | PVC — oil & acid resistant | Low-grade PVC / rubber |
| Odourless | Yes | Rarely |
| Manufacturer | JMDi Safezone factory, Sonipat | Unknown / unverifiable |
| Quality Control | In-house BIS-audited process | None / inconsistent |
| Warranty | 3-month sole warranty | No warranty |
| MRP | ₹799 | ₹400–700 |
The small price difference between ₹500–600 for an uncertified shoe and ₹799 for the Komico Eco is the difference between legal compliance and liability, between real protection and a false sense of safety. For employers, it's the difference between passing a safety audit and failing one.
Factory Direct: How We Keep the Price at ₹799
JMDi Safezone manufactures every Komico shoe at our own factory in Kundli Industrial Area, Sonipat, Haryana. We don't outsource production. We don't import finished shoes. Every pair is made in-house — from leather cutting and stitching to sole injection moulding and ISI quality testing.
This factory-direct model is how we keep the Eco at ₹799 while maintaining genuine ISI certification. There are no middlemen, no import duties, and no layers of markup between the factory floor and the buyer. When you order Komico Eco in bulk for your workforce, you're buying directly from the people who made the shoe.
Our Sonipat facility has been operational since 2012, with over 300 workers manufacturing protective footwear, high-visibility safety vests, and welding accessories. The Eco is built on the same production lines, by the same trained workforce, with the same quality systems that produce our premium Komisafe PU safety shoe range.
PPE Safety Compliance: What the Law Requires
Under Indian law, employers in manufacturing, construction, and other hazardous industries are required to provide appropriate PPE — including protective footwear — at no cost to workers. The relevant safety regulations include:
- ✓The Factories Act, 1948 — Section 87 empowers state governments to mandate PPE in hazardous operations
- ✓Building and Other Construction Workers Act, 1996 — mandates safety equipment on all construction sites
- ✓The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 — consolidates and strengthens PPE requirements across all industries
- ✓DGMS (Directorate General of Mines Safety) regulations for mining operations
- ✓Client and principal employer requirements in contract labour deployments
Non-compliance can result in penalties, work stoppages, and — in the event of an accident — criminal liability for employers. Providing ISI-certified protective footwear like the Komico Eco is the simplest and most cost-effective way to meet these workplace safety requirements.
