What Do These Standards Mean?

  • EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P
    • "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. This is designed for protection against sharp objects penetrating through the sole, such as nails or sharp debris.

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.

What Makes These Trainers Special?

These safety trainers offer intense protection against a range of workplace hazards in a metal-free design. They are an alternative non-metallic version of the bestselling Portwest FT50 Steelite Trainers.

Why Should I Wear Metal-Free Trainers?

Metal-free trainers, also known as non-metallic trainers, are required in certain work environments for several reasons:

  • Security and Safety Checks: In some high-security areas, such as airports, government facilities, or certain industrial sites, metal detectors or X-ray machines are used for security checks. Metal-free trainers are necessary to pass through these security checkpoints without triggering alarms or requiring additional screening. This helps to streamline the security process and maintain efficient operations.
  • Electrical Hazard Protection: Metal components in footwear can conduct electricity, which can pose a risk in electrical work environments. Metal-free trainers eliminate the risk of electrical conductivity, reducing the potential for electric shocks or electrical accidents. These trainers are often made with non-conductive materials like composite toe caps or fiberglass shanks.
  • Non-Magnetic Environments: In some industries or research settings, non-magnetic conditions are essential, such as in medical imaging facilities (MRI rooms) or laboratories working with sensitive magnetic equipment. Metal-free trainers are necessary to prevent interference with sensitive instruments and maintain the integrity of test results or imaging equipment.
  • Lightweight and Comfort: Metal-free trainers are typically lighter in weight compared to trainers with metal components. This can provide increased comfort and reduce fatigue for workers who need to be on their feet for extended periods. Additionally, non-metallic footwear often offers better flexibility and improved ergonomic design.
  • Heat and Cold Insulation: Metal-free trainers may offer better insulation against temperature extremes. Metal components can transfer heat or cold, potentially causing discomfort or temperature-related injuries. Non-metallic trainers can provide better thermal insulation, keeping the feet more comfortable in hot or cold environments.

Why Are Toe Caps Important?

These safety trainers come with inbuilt composite toe caps, which have a variety of benefits including:

  • Impact Protection: Composite 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. Composite 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 composite toecap trainers ensures compliance with these safety requirements.
  • Durability: Composite 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: Composite 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.
