What Do These Standards Mean?
- EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P HRO
- "S" indicates that the footwear is intended for general use and offers basic protection.
- "1" specifies that the footwear has toe protection. It can be either a steel toe cap or a composite toe cap designed to protect against impacts.
- "P" indicates that the footwear has a puncture-resistant sole. The sole is designed to provide protection against sharp objects penetrating through the sole, such as nails or other sharp debris.
- "HRO" indicates that the footwear has a Heat Resistant Outsole, designed to protect feet up to 300°C for use in extreme temperatures
Therefore, EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P signifies that the footwear meets the European safety standards for general use, including toe protection and a puncture-resistant sole.

Quick Release
These trainers feature a quick-release wire lace fastening system, engineered to give an overall secure fit for the fastest fit possible. This is ideal for industries where workers need to be quick on their feet for extended periods of time:
- Healthcare and Nursing, while treating patients all day and handling often heavy medical equipment
- Hospitality and Food Services, serving customers and running around in hot kitchens
- Retail and Customer Service, carrying heavy boxes of good and walking around for extended periods
- Construction and Manual Labour, while handling heavy goods and helping with building work
- Warehouse and Logistics, carrying items to and from production for hours on end
These safety trainers are therefore the best solution for anyone needing basic safety at work that is also highly comfortable, while preventing trips and falls.
Why Are Toe Caps Important?
These safety trainers come with inbuilt steel toe caps, which have a variety of benefits including:
- Impact Protection: Steel toecaps are designed to withstand a significant amount of force and provide protection against heavy falling objects or accidental impacts. They act as a barrier between the toes and potential hazards, reducing the risk of fractures, bruises, or other foot injuries.
- Compression Resistance: In certain work environments, there is a risk of the feet being exposed to compression forces, such as heavy machinery or equipment rolling over the feet. Steel toecaps offer resistance against compression, preventing the toes from getting crushed or injured.
- Occupational Safety Compliance: Many industries and workplaces have specific safety regulations or standards that require workers to wear protective footwear with toecaps. This is particularly common in construction, manufacturing, logistics, and other sectors where foot injuries are a potential risk. Wearing steel toecap trainers ensures compliance with these safety requirements.
- Durability: Steel toecaps provide an additional layer of durability to the front portion of the shoe. They are highly resistant to impact and compression forces, as well as abrasion, making the trainers more robust and long-lasting.
- Versatility: Steel toecaps can be incorporated into various types of footwear, including boots, trainers, and sneakers. This allows workers in different industries to choose the appropriate footwear style while still benefiting from toe protection.
