There footwear is designed with three simple but important principles in mind: comfort, safety and durability. Innovations In Footwear Our award winning sports range of safety trainers and hikers are super lightweight, highly comfortable and available in both men’s and women’s fit that range from UK sizes 2 – 13. The range was developed to offer a lightweight alternative, prevent slips and falls, as well as address the lack of properly fitted safety footwear for women. The range took 18 months to develop and has helped increase the current options for correctly fitted women’s PPE, which we hope will also help encourage more women pursue careers in industries that are mainly male dominated.
