Product Overview
The Composite Action Leather Trainer (FC67) represents a sophisticated approach to safety footwear, bridging the gap between high-performance athletic design and rigorous industrial protection. Designed for those who require constant movement without the burden of traditional heavy boots, these trainers are crafted from durable action leather. While we wouldn't suggest wearing them for a marathon, they certainly make the trek across a large warehouse significantly less taxing. The non-metallic construction ensures they are ideally suited for high-security environments or workplaces with metal detectors, providing a seamless workflow for the modern professional.
Key Features
Non-Metallic Composite Protection: Utilizing composite materials rather than steel provides essential impact and compression resistance while reducing overall weight, ensuring all-day comfort without compromising safety.
S1PL Safety Rating: This standard guarantees the trainer includes an anti-perforation layer, protecting the sole of the foot from sharp objects, which is critical in dynamic industrial settings.
Phylon and Rubber Outsole: The combination of these materials offers superior shock absorption and slip resistance, providing a stable foundation on various surfaces.
Fuel and Oil Resistance (FO): The outsole is specifically engineered to withstand degradation from fuel and oils, extending the lifespan of the footwear in environments where these substances are present.
Design & Performance
These trainers are built for durability and resilience. The action leather upper provides a robust exterior that withstands the scuffs and scrapes of a busy workday, while remaining flexible enough to allow for natural foot movement. This is a substantial, sturdy trainer that does not sacrifice its professional silhouette for the sake of its protective features.
The Phylon/rubber outsole is the performance heart of the trainer. Phylon provides lightweight cushioning, while the rubber outer layer ensures high slip resistance (SR). This results in a shoe that maintains a firm grip on the ground, even in challenging conditions. The interior is designed to be hard-wearing, offering both comfort and longevity for light industrial use.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety standards very seriously. This specific trainer is an item of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that has been rigorously tested and certified to EN ISO 20345 standards. Any modification, such as embroidery or heat-applied printing on the upper material, could potentially compromise the integrity of the leather or the protective structure of the trainer. To ensure you remain fully compliant with safety regulations and that the product performs exactly as intended by the manufacturer, we provide this item without customisation.
Use Cases
The non-metallic nature of these trainers makes them the preferred choice for staff working in airports, security sectors, or any facility where metal detectors are in frequent use. Furthermore, their clean, professional aesthetic and slip-resistant properties make them exceptionally well-suited for the catering and hospitality industries. They are a reliable choice for bakers, butchers, and kitchen staff who require reliable protection and comfort during long periods on their feet.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that these trainers are designed for active use; ensure there is adequate room at the toe to account for natural foot expansion throughout the day. For those working in cooler environments or requiring additional cushioning, these trainers pair effectively with technical moisture-wicking socks to further enhance the internal climate control and overall comfort.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective qualities and longevity of your action leather trainers, regular maintenance is essential. Neglecting the cleanliness of the upper can lead to the leather drying out and cracking, which may eventually compromise the structural support of the shoe.
We recommend cleaning the trainers with a damp cloth and a mild detergent to remove dirt and surface contaminants. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or solvents, as these can degrade the Phylon and rubber outsole, potentially reducing its slip-resistant properties and fuel-oil resistance.
Allow the trainers to dry naturally at room temperature. Forcing the drying process with direct heat sources, such as radiators, can cause the leather to become brittle and may affect the adhesives used in the sole construction. Consistent care ensures the trainers continue to provide the safety performance required for your professional environment.
