About Ladies Safety Footwear

A suitable pair of ladies' safety shoes or boots is crucial for work in any workplace, providing protection against common hazards while remaining comfortable throughout the day. Women’s safety footwear is specifically designed for women’s feet, which can be smaller and narrower. Women can work confidently with the right pair of safety shoes, knowing their feet are fully and properly protected, without sacrificing comfort or style.

All our work shoes for women conform to British Standard EN ISO 20345:2011, covering toe protection, impact resistance and compression protection as standard. Within this standard, there are several other standards that ladies' safety boots can also adhere to, which may be worth considering if you work in environments with specific hazards. These extra standards cover things like anti-slip ratings, waterproof ratings and much more.

Our collection of ladies' work shoes includes a variety of styles, from traditional steel-toe safety boots for women, to more modern composite-toe designs. We offer a wide range of options to meet diverse preferences and needs. Whether you're looking for a knee-high, thermal-protected, waterproof, anti-slip boot or a comfortable entry-level work boot for occasional use, our extensive selection features top brands across various styles and price ranges to suit you.

Lightweight Safety Boots

Lightweight ladies work boots are designed for those that need to do lots of walking. Typically, lighter weights are achieved through more expensive materials like kevlar and composites. A lighter womens work boot is essential for women who are on their feet all day, like site managers, or labourers. Some work boots resemble work trainers, but improved ankle protection makes them boot-like.

Women’s Steel Toe Cap Boots

Ladies' steel-toe cap safety boots are by far the most popular choice from our selection of womens work shoes. Choose womens steel toe boots for a heavy-duty, but weightier boot than composite toe caps. Ladies' steel-toe cap trainers offer a lighter weight, comfortable fit that provides less ankle support but are, on average, more breathable than a boot.

For Specialised Professions

Our specialised range of safety footwear for ladies includes footwear designed for specific professions, such as commercial kitchens, where slip-resistant soles and easy-to-clean materials are essential. These shoes provide the necessary protection while accommodating the unique requirements of each profession.

What Makes A Good Pair Of Work Shoes For Ladies?

Before choosing the best safety footwear for ladies, refer to a risk assessment of your place of work to consider the risks that need to be mitigated when working in that environment. Consider the following key factors when choosing your safety shoes for women:

Comfort and Support

Your boots will support your full weight for over 8 hours a day, so comfort and support from day 1 are the most important factors to look for. Workers are reluctant to wear uncomfortable shoes, as discomfort can turn to pain over longer periods of time. Remember that as a priority, female employees are looking for comfortable safety shoes for ladies.

Durability

The most important feature, with comfort, is the durability and strength of your female safety shoes. Boots with longer lifespans are better value for money and provide comfort and support for longer, as they mould to the shape of your foot.

Toe Protection

Womens safety boots should always have a reinforced toe cap, either metal, like steel, or a lighter-weight composite. Compliant site boots must have at least 200 joules of impact resistance and withstand 15KN of compression (equivalent to 1.5 tonnes on the toe area).

Compliance With Standards

If you need female safety boots with additional protective features, ensure they conform to the EN ISO 20345:2011 safety standards to be usable on-site in the UK; the best work boots for ladies always are.

Water Resistance & Slip Resistance

Do you work in an environment prone to water? Consider boots with higher water and slip ratings. These features have their own EN ISO 20345:2021 ratings.

Midsole Protection

Do you need to protect the bottom of your foot? To meet EN ISO 20345 midsole protection standards, footwear midsoles must be able to resist a penetration force of 1100N. This is done with either steel or aluminium inserts or a more comfortable Kevlar insole.

Style

While safety is paramount, choosing a style that you feel confident and comfortable wearing, can also improve your overall work experience. Choose from steel-toe cap boots for women to womens safety trainers, and womens safety shoes.
