Product Overview
The Run@Work Berlin is a sophisticated safety shoe designed for those who spend more time on their feet than off them. Part of the innovative Run@Work collection, this footwear bridges the gap between high-performance athletic design and the rigorous requirements of workplace safety. It is a metal-free, vegan-friendly solution that prioritises both the health of your feet and the security of your stride.
By integrating technical fabrics with advanced sole technology, the Berlin model ensures that protective footwear no longer needs to feel like a burden. Whether you are navigating a busy warehouse or a technical laboratory, these shoes provide the stability and protection required without the cumbersome weight traditionally associated with safety gear.
Key Features
- SlimCap Toe-Cap: Measuring only 6.5 mm in thickness, this non-metallic toe-cap is significantly lighter and more comfortable than traditional steel alternatives while still providing 200 joules of impact resistance.
- SmellStop Lining: An anti-odour and antibacterial lining prevents the proliferation of microorganisms, which helps to keep the shoes fresh and reduces the risk of mycosis.
- Puncture Resistance: The Fresh'n Flex Plus Super Light insert protects against sharp objects, including a 3mm nail, without compromising the shoe's flexibility.
- ESD Protection: Designed specifically for environments where electronic devices must be protected from electrostatic discharges.
- Ladder Grip: The outsole is engineered to provide superior traction on ladder rungs, reducing the risk of slips during vertical climbs.
- Slip Resistance (SR): Tested on ceramic and glycerin surfaces to ensure you remain upright on challenging floor conditions.
Design & Performance
The design philosophy behind the Berlin shoe focuses on 'anti-fatigue' performance. The AirTech and Tpu-Skin outsole features a reduced-thickness tread, which increases elasticity and provides a lasting cushioning effect. This is further enhanced by the Dry'n Air Comfort Cub3 technology, which offers maximum breathability to keep the foot cool and dry throughout a long shift.
Performance is bolstered by the innovative HIFLAP technology. This system consists of two independent flaps that facilitate natural movement while guaranteeing stability in various working positions. The upper is constructed from a robust technical fabric, designed to withstand the daily rigours of industrial use while remaining flexible enough to prevent pressure points.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-seal transfers, on the Run@Work Berlin. As a piece of certified safety footwear, any secondary heat processes or stitching could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the technical fabrics or interfere with the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) properties. To ensure your protection remains at the level specified by the EN ISO 20345:2022 standard, these shoes are supplied in their original, un-modified state.
Use Cases
These shoes are ideal for professionals working in logistics, warehousing, and light manufacturing where heavy-duty protection is needed but high mobility is essential. Given their ESD properties, they are also a primary choice for electronics assembly or any environment sensitive to static. The ladder grip feature makes them particularly useful for maintenance engineers and facility managers who frequently use access equipment.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a staple of the UK industrial landscape since 1976. Operating from our base in Telford, we have spent decades refining our understanding of what tradespeople and businesses truly need from their gear. We don't just sell products; we provide expert-vetted solutions backed by nearly half a century of experience in the workwear industry.
Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit, please note that this style is offered in specific widths: 10.5 for women and 12 for men. We recommend wearing a high-quality technical sock that aids moisture-wicking to fully appreciate the benefits of the SmellStop lining. If you are between sizes, the SlimCap design often provides a more generous feel in the toe box compared to traditional safety shoes.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety footwear is essential for ensuring both longevity and continued protection. Neglecting the technical fabric upper can allow dirt to penetrate the fibres, which may lead to premature wear and reduced breathability.
We recommend cleaning these shoes by wiping them with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the antibacterial properties of the lining and weaken the TPU-Skin on the outsole. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the technical materials to become brittle and crack.
Regularly inspect the tread for trapped debris to ensure the ladder grip and slip resistance remain effective. Keeping the shoes clean not only maintains their professional appearance but ensures the anti-fatigue technologies continue to perform as intended.
