Product Overview
The Composite Spey Trainer represents a sophisticated shift in safety footwear, prioritising a low-profile aesthetic without compromising on essential protection. This trainer is designed for those who require the security of a safety boot but prefer the flexibility and agility of a sports shoe. Constructed to be 100% non-metallic, it is an ideal choice for environments where metal detection is a factor or where a lighter alternative to traditional steel is preferred. The Orange and Black colourway provides a modern look that suits contemporary workplace uniforms.
Key Features
- The integrated fibreglass toecap offers high-level impact protection, shielding your feet from falling objects without the weight or thermal conductivity of steel.
- A composite midsole provides a puncture-resistant barrier, ensuring sharp objects underfoot do not penetrate the sole and cause injury.
- The KPU and Mesh upper combination facilitates consistent airflow, which is crucial for maintaining foot hygiene and comfort during long, active shifts.
- The EVA and Rubber outsole is engineered for maximum comfort and flexibility, absorbing shock with every step to reduce lower-body fatigue.
Design & Performance
In terms of performance, the Spey Trainer excels through its material composition. The use of KPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) provides a durable outer structure that resists abrasion, while the mesh panels ensure the footwear remains breathable. This synergy of materials ensures the trainer is sturdy enough for industrial use while remaining supple enough for constant movement. The dual-density sole—combining the cushioning properties of EVA with the hard-wearing grip of rubber—ensures stability on various surfaces, meeting the EN ISO 20345:2022 safety standard for peace of mind in hazardous environments.
Why No Customisation?
While we specialise in bespoke branding, we do not offer customisation for safety footwear like the Composite Spey Trainer. The process of embroidering or heat-pressing logos onto the upper can compromise the technical fabrics and structural integrity of the shoe. To ensure your safety equipment remains fully compliant with its S1PS FO SR rating, the product must remain in its original, un-modified state.
Use Cases
This trainer is perfectly suited for professionals in the hospitality and catering sectors, including bakers, butchers, and kitchen staff who need slip resistance and toe protection in fast-paced environments. It is also an excellent option for warehouse operatives, delivery drivers, and those working in clean-room environments where non-metallic equipment is a requirement.

Practical Advice
As this trainer features a rigid composite toecap, it will not stretch or 'wear in' at the front of the foot. We recommend ensuring there is a small amount of space between your toes and the end of the trainer when trying them on. If you usually wear thick work socks, it may be prudent to consider this when selecting your size to ensure a comfortable fit throughout the day.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness and structural integrity of your footwear is essential for ensuring it continues to perform as intended and remains safe for use.
We advise against washing these trainers in a domestic washing machine. The high temperatures and mechanical action of a wash cycle can damage the internal structure and degrade the adhesives that bond the EVA sole to the upper, leading to potential failure of the footwear.
Avoid the use of bleach or aggressive cleaning agents. These chemicals can break down the synthetic mesh and KPU overlays, causing them to become brittle and lose their protective properties over time.
Do not tumble dry the trainers or place them directly on a radiator. Extreme heat can cause the EVA midsole to warp and the rubber outsole to lose its slip-resistant properties. Instead, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, perhaps with paper stuffed inside to help absorb moisture.
Never attempt to iron the trainers. The intense heat from an iron will melt the synthetic components and ruin the footwear, rendering it completely unsafe for the workplace.
