Slipping represents a serious risk in the world of work and forms part of the mandatory requirements placed on safety footwear. It is also important with regard to city and leisure footwear, including trainers, intended for general day-to-day use. The anti-slip requirements for these types of footwear should therefore also be understood and assessed. In France, the permanent survey of day-to-day accidents (EPAC) estimated that almost 11% of the population had a day-to-day accident of some sort in 2017. Furthermore, almost 50% of accidents involve falling due to slipping. It is in fact the most frequent domestic accident.
