Safety trainers are perfect for most warehouse workers and light manufacturing roles, they look and wear just like a conventional trainer but have added features that make them more protective. Toe protection is the first item that is present in many of these shoes, ensuring that dropped items don't result in broken toes. Measurable anti-slip and anti-static qualities are also essential for lots of roles and ensure that you stay on your feet and in comfort all day long.

Safety shoes and trainers must conform with EN ISO 20345:2021 for safety footwear, meaning that, at the very least, their toe protection must have 200 joules of impact resistance and withstand 15KN of compression (equivalent to 1.5 tonnes).
Depending on your work environment and industry, you may need other forms of protection beyond the basic toe and compression resistance. The best safety trainers provide other safety features like slip-resistance, water-resistant uppers and puncture-resistant midsoles, which must also conform with EN ISO 20345:2021 safety footwear regulations to be used legally on-site in the UK. These extra protections can make work safety trainers more desirable than boots for certain environments, such as warehouses and other indoor work environments, work in warmer temperatures, and jobs requiring agility and movement, like delivery service roles and maintenance roles that involve climbing. Site safety trainers are also perfect for roles that involve operating machinery with foot controls, like forklift drivers.
