Totectors Says: "These super stylish trainers are the best way to stay safe on site, in hospitality roles, and just about anywhere! The achromatic design means these trainers look like totally conventional casual trainers, meaning they're brilliant for wear while commuting to work and at work itself. Our favourite feature of this particular design is the medial arch support, which evenly distributes pressure on the feet to reduce excess motion, reducing likelihood of slips, trips and falls: essential for the very active environments they're designed for."

Editor's Verdict: We love the aesthetic of the Totectors Denton Low Safety Work Trainers, with their contemporary finish and simplistic monochromatic style. They don't look like safety shoes at all – meaning workers will be more than happy to wear them, promoting safety in a variety of workspaces. We love the lace-up style and chunky finish, creating a trendy look that also keeps employees safe and comfortable in the most effortless way possible.

Portwest Says: "These trainers are as stylish as they are protective, and customers love the different textures and colours of this design. Made of strong, water-resistant and fashionable suede, these trainers keep feet safe from a variety of standard workplace hazards. The traditional trainer style form is brilliant for workforces because it enhances PPE compliance, helping you and your team to look stylish while staying safe."

Editor's Verdict: Many work trainers are designed for men, which means women at work are often left wearing shoes that are uncomfortable and less protective. However, the Portwest FW39 Steelite Safety Trainers keep women in construction, warehousing and a whole other range of industries safe, without compromising their foot health or safety.

Stylish Lightweight Safety Trainers

✔ Warehouse workers, waiters, waitresses and more

Safety Standards

✔ EN Standards: S1P (check out our Handy Guide to EN Standards for Footwear to learn more)

Jalas Says: "Safety trainers can feel really constrictive when they're super heavy, compromising our comfort and even foot health due to often unbreathable designs. However, these trainers use a mesh design that's also water, fuel and oil repellent – so you won't have to compromise your hygiene for protected feet. The BOA system is also fiercely popular amongst our clients, due to the convenience it brings when wearing gloves, while also removing the trip hazard that laced shoes can bring."

Editor's Verdict: As Jalas says, the Ejendals JALAS Zenit Safety Trainers keep employees safe without sacrificing their comfort or protection levels. We love that this design prioritises foot health and hygiene, an essential consideration for people who work on their feet all day, yet this is usually overlooked in safety shoe designs. However, these trainers manage to strike a brilliant balance between a stylish construction, breathable materials and of course robust protection against water, oil, nails and static.

Stylish Waterproof Safety Trainers

Our Favourite: Ejendals JALAS Zenit EVO 7158 Blue Lightweight Work Safety Trainers

✔ People working outdoors all year round

Safety Standards

✔ EN Standards: S3 SRC (check out our Handy Guide to EN Standards for Footwear to learn more)

Jalas Says: "These chic high tops don't just look great – they manage to enhance protection of the feet and surrounding ankle areas. Not only does this protect against common work hazards including punctures, electrostatic discharge, water and oil: it also stabilises the ankles to prevent painful sprains and twists. Again, we love the BOA system which only reduces likelihood of skids even further, plus it allows your shoes to fit optimally: for a comfortable and protective fit for all."

Editor's Verdict: We love the high contrast between the moody, black and grey design with the pop of chartreuse around the ankle. Ideal for a variety of spaces, the Ejendals JALAS Zenit Work Safety Trainers keep a number of professionals safe, including electricians, maintenance workers and other people working with electrical equipment. With anti-static properties as well as more generally protective features including puncture prevention and water-repellence, these trainers are your best bet for keeping feet dry and comfortable.
