Key Features
- Integrated Steel Toe Cap: Engineered to withstand 200 joules of impact, this essential safety feature provides a robust barrier against falling objects and compression injuries in high-risk zones.
- Water-Resistant Upper: The specially treated upper material prevents water penetration, ensuring feet remain dry and comfortable even when working in damp or unpredictable conditions.
- SmellStop Antibacterial Lining: This innovative lining prevents the growth of odour-causing bacteria, maintainig a fresh internal environment and extending the lifespan of the footwear.
- Fresh’n Flex Midsole: A puncture-resistant sole plate protects the foot from sharp objects underfoot, such as nails or glass, without compromising the flexibility of the shoe.
- Shock Absorption: The heel region is specifically designed to absorb energy, significantly reducing the impact on joints when walking on hard industrial surfaces.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Chester Top is centred around its Antifatigue AirTech single-density outsole. This technology is designed to provide a cushioned experience, mimicking the feel of high-performance footwear while maintaining the durability required for work environments. The sole is not only slip-resistant but also resistant to hydrocarbons, fuels, and oils, making it an excellent choice for workshops and garages where floor spills are a common hazard.
Constructed with a substantial and sturdy build, the footwear provides excellent ankle support. The dual-width availability (Men’s and Women’s width) ensures that the ergonomic benefits of the Antifatigue technology are accessible to all team members, regardless of foot shape, promoting better posture and reducing end-of-shift aches.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on this specific safety product to ensure its protective integrity remains uncompromised. This footwear is a certified piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) under standard EN ISO 20345:2022. Any piercing of the upper material or application of heat-pressed transfers could void the safety certifications, damage the water-resistant membrane, or weaken the structural components that provide your protection.
Use Cases
The Chester Top is ideally suited for professionals in the construction, warehousing, and automotive industries. Its hydrocarbon-resistant and slip-resistant sole makes it particularly effective for those working in environments with frequent exposure to oils and fuels. Given its water-resistant properties, it is also a reliable choice for outdoor site work or delivery personnel who require a sturdy ankle shoe that can withstand the British weather.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the type of work socks you intend to wear. For industrial environments, a medium-weight technical sock can provide additional cushioning and moisture-wicking properties that complement the SmellStop lining. Ensure the laces are tied securely to make full use of the ankle support provided by the 'Top' silhouette, which helps prevent rolled ankles on uneven terrain.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety footwear is essential for ensuring it continues to provide the protection you rely on. Regularly remove dirt and debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allowing mud to dry and remain on the upper can lead to the material cracking over time, which compromises the water-resistant barrier.
If your footwear becomes wet, always allow it to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Never place safety shoes directly against a heat source, such as a radiator, as rapid drying can cause the materials to become brittle and may affect the bond of the Antifatigue sole. Periodic treatment with a suitable water-proofing spray will help maintain the upper's resistance to moisture.
