  • About Ventilated Safety Footwear

    Ventilated safety footwear is designed to combine workplace protection with improved breathability, ensuring comfort in warm or physically demanding environments. This range of shoes, trainers and boots are built with breathable materials and ventilation features to keep your feet cool and dry, reducing the build up of sweat during long shifts. Ventilated safety footwear can provide additional protection too (ontop of the basic toe cap and slip resistance), including fuel and oil resistance, ESD resistance, and heat resistance, without sacrificing airflow. Perfect for jobs in construction and warehousing, 

    Breathable ventilated safety footwear is perfect for industries where physical exertion and heat are common, such as construction, manufacturing, and logistics. Designed to keep you safe while offering increased breathability, our collection includes various styles, from safety trainers to work boots. Whether you're looking for waterproof ventilated boots for all-weather protection or breathable shoes for hot climates, our selection offers EN ISO 20345 rated options suited to a variety of workplace needs.


    Breathable Work Boots

    Designed for tough jobs in warm conditions, work boots with ventilation offer durable protection while keeping your feet cool. Usually thanks to breathable panels and moisture-wicking linings, ventilated work boots reduce the build-up of heat and sweat, making them perfect for construction, warehouses, and outdoor work.

    Low-Cut Safety Sandals

    With more open designs for better airflow within the shoe, these safety sandals are a great option for indoor roles or lighter-duty work in hot environments.

    Mesh Safety Trainers

    Designed for more intense, outdoor and/or higher-mobility roles, trainers can nfeature mesh panels for maximum ventilation while still fully encasing the foot and providing protection from stray debris.

    Getting The Best Ventilated Safety Footwear For Your Needs

    Before choosing your pair of ventilated footwear, consider the following factors:

    Ventilation Design

    Shoes can be ventilated in different ways, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. First, make sure to choose shoes that meet your workplace protection needs, then select a ventilation type based on your preferences. Options include mesh panels, perforations, or open sections for the best air flow.

    Moisture

    If your job involves wet conditions, consider ventilated options that are also waterproof or moisture-wicking to keep your feet more comfortable and dry.

    Blisters, Odours & Comfort

    Your comfort is key when choosing footwear for working in hot environments. Look for padded collars, cushioned insoles, and a secure fit to reduce fatigue and prevent blisters. Consider at least wearing low socks to reduce friction and odours during long work days. Opt for breathable fabrics, meshes and moisture wicking materials, and use insoles that handle sweat effectively.

    Slip Resistance

    Evaluate the level of slip resistance you'll need for your job, especially for indoor environments. Although all ventilated safety footwear offer some level of slip resistance, is a simple SR rated work shoe all that is needed, or should this be upgraded to SRA, SRB or SRC? Is additional heat insulation (HI) necessary?
