Product Overview
The Composite KPU and Mesh Trainer (FT32) represents a modern approach to workplace safety, successfully blending the lightweight agility of athletic footwear with the rigorous protection required in professional environments. Designed for individuals who are constantly on the move, this trainer offers a sophisticated solution for those who require safety certification without the physical burden of a traditional, heavy boot.
Key Features
- Composite Toecap: Provides essential protection against impact and compression while remaining significantly lighter than steel alternatives, reducing wearer fatigue.
- Puncture Resistant Textile Midsole: Offers a flexible yet impenetrable barrier against sharp underfoot hazards, ensuring safety without sacrificing the natural movement of the foot.
- ESD Protection: Engineered to safely discharge static electricity, making these trainers indispensable for environments with sensitive electronic components.
- Dual Density PU/PU Outsole: Combines a cushioned inner layer for all-day comfort with a durable outer layer for exceptional grip and energy absorption.
- Fuel and Oil Resistant: The specialized outsole maintains its integrity and traction even when in contact with hydrocarbons, essential for hazardous floor surfaces.
Design & Performance
The upper is expertly constructed from a combination of KPU and mesh fabric. This choice of materials is deliberate; the mesh allows for maximum breathability, which is vital for moisture management and temperature regulation during long shifts. The KPU overlay provides the necessary structural support and enhanced durability in high-wear areas. To ensure a secure and comfortable fit, the trainer features a padded collar that protects the ankle from friction. Underneath, the dual-density polyurethane sole is designed to absorb the shock of every step, protecting the wearer's joints on hard industrial flooring.
Why No Customisation?
As this trainer is a certified piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation. Any structural alteration, such as embroidery or heat-transfer printing, could potentially compromise the technical integrity of the KPU and mesh upper or interfere with the specialized ESD properties. To ensure your safety and continued compliance with workplace regulations, we supply these trainers in their original, tested specification.
Use Cases
These trainers are an excellent choice for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, where ESD protection is a requirement. They are also highly suitable for the catering, hospitality, and pharmaceutical sectors, where slip resistance and lightweight comfort are paramount for those working in kitchens, laboratories, or front-of-house roles.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that safety footwear with composite toecaps does not stretch in the toe area over time. We recommend trying these on with the type of socks you intend to wear for work to ensure a comfortable fit. If you find yourself between sizes, it is often advisable to select the larger size to allow for natural foot swelling throughout a busy workday.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of your footwear is not just about appearances; it is about preserving the technical performance of the materials. Dirt and debris can clog the breathable mesh and reduce the slip-resistant effectiveness of the outsole.
We recommend cleaning the upper with a soft brush or a damp cloth and a mild detergent. You should never machine wash these trainers as the high temperatures and mechanical action can damage the adhesive bonds in the dual-density sole. Always allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature. Placing them on a radiator or near a direct heat source can cause the KPU and PU materials to become brittle and eventually crack, shortening the lifespan of your footwear.
