Danish craftsmanship and expertise since 1885

Brynje was founded in 1885 in Sæby, North Jutland, and has since produced footwear for Denmark’s hardest-working feet. The first Brynje shoe took its first steps nearly 140 years ago, and since then, millions of steps have been taken in Brynje products. This long history has given the company deep insight into what professional environments demand from footwear and accessories.

In 2012, Brynje was acquired by Sika Footwear, which has been producing safety and work shoes since 1870. Together, they continue the tradition of developing products based on over 150 years of combined experience. Today, all Brynje products are designed, tested and developed at their headquarters just outside Herning, Denmark, where each item is refined until it meets the highest standards of safety and comfort.

Brynje’s philosophy is simple but powerful: Built for work – Energy for life. It’s about keeping your feet safe, healthy and comfortable, so you can perform at your best and come home feeling good. Every day. For life. It’s not just a slogan – it’s the essence of everything Brynje creates.

Why insoles make a difference to your working day

Your feet endure enormous pressure throughout a workday. You carry heavy loads, stand for hours, walk on hard surfaces or move constantly between tasks. Without proper support, this can lead to fatigue, pain and, in the worst cases, long-term issues with your feet, knees, hips or back.

Brynje insoles are designed to meet these challenges. They offer shock absorption to reduce impact on your joints, arch support to distribute pressure evenly, and comfort that keeps your feet fresh all day. The result is less fatigue, fewer aches and more energy to keep going – both at work and afterwards.

Safety and comfort across all industries

Brynje produces safety footwear and accessories for a wide range of industries – from construction and craftsmanship to warehousing, logistics and service. They understand that every trade has its own challenges, and that what works for a carpenter might not suit a warehouse worker or driver.

That’s why Brynje products are always developed with attention to the specific demands of different work environments. Their insoles are no exception. Designed to work in combination with various types of safety shoes, they can be adapted to individual needs – whether you need extra arch support, additional shock absorption, or simply a softer surface to stand on.

FAQ

Do Brynje insoles fit all types of safety shoes?
Brynje insoles are designed to fit most safety and work shoes. They can usually be trimmed to size and work well with different shoe types. Always check the product specifications for the best fit.

How do insoles help reduce fatigue?
Insoles provide shock absorption and arch support, reducing strain on your feet, knees, hips and back. By distributing pressure evenly and cushioning every step, they keep your feet fresh and energised throughout the day.

How often should I replace my insoles?
That depends on how intensively they are used. If you walk many steps daily or work in demanding environments, consider replacing your insoles every 6–12 months. When they lose their support or show wear, it’s time for new ones.

Can insoles help with foot pain?
Yes, many people find that quality insoles reduce or eliminate foot pain caused by poor support or long hours of standing and walking. Brynje insoles are designed to provide optimal support and comfort in professional settings.

What’s the difference between regular insoles and Brynje insoles?
Brynje insoles are specifically made for professional work environments with high demands on durability, support and comfort. They’re built on nearly 140 years of expertise in work footwear and tested for the challenges of long, active workdays.
