“Over the past couple of years the main trend has been for safety footwear to
become lighter in weight and more fashionable, which really started with the use of
injected PU sole units. The introduction of composite toecaps and composite
material mid-plates has accelerated this demand. Other market requirements which
we have noticed are the need for the upper profile of safety footwear to be lower.
The problem with the design of safety footwear is that these styles need a toecap,
which creates a more rounded shape to the upper, but the trend nowadays is for
safety footwear to look less like an item of safety footwear. Part of the solution is to
reduce the shape of the upper profile by applying it lower into the sole unit. This
allows for a lower profile footwear style, such as the Faxon Trainer.”
