The Composite Textile Suede Low Shoe is a sophisticated solution for professionals requiring discreet but robust safety footwear. Designed to meet the stringent EN ISO 20345:2022 S1 standard, this shoe combines the aesthetic of a professional low-profile shoe with the high-level protection of modern industrial footwear. The black cow suede leather provides a matte, professional finish that fits seamlessly into customer-facing environments, while the internal architecture is built for the rigours of a busy shift.
Engineered for durability, the construction of this shoe focuses on flexibility and longevity. The cow suede leather upper is substantial enough to withstand daily wear while allowing for natural foot movement. Underneath, the PU/PU outsole is designed to provide maximum grip on various surfaces, which is essential in fast-paced environments like kitchens or workshops. As a medium-weight safety shoe, it strikes a careful balance between being sturdy enough to protect and light enough to prevent fatigue during a twelve-hour shift.
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat transfers, on safety footwear like the FC24. This is to ensure the structural integrity of the safety materials remains intact. Piercing or applying high heat to the protective upper could compromise the EN ISO 20345:2022 certification, and we take your safety far too seriously to risk that for the sake of a logo.
This shoe is specifically designed for professionals in the catering and hospitality sectors. It is an excellent choice for chefs, kitchen porters, and bakers who require slip-resistant footwear that can handle the heat of a kitchen. It is also well-suited for butchers and front-of-house staff in hotels or restaurants who need a shoe that looks smart but performs like industrial PPE.
MyWorkwear has been a staple of the UK workwear industry since 1976. Operating from our specialised facility in Telford, we have spent decades refining our knowledge of PPE and technical clothing. We don't just sell shoes; we understand the technical requirements of the modern British workforce, ensuring you receive products that meet the highest safety standards.
When selecting your size, remember that safety shoes with composite toecaps do not 'stretch' at the front like standard leather shoes. We recommend ensuring there is a small amount of room for movement. Pair these shoes with high-quality moisture-wicking socks to complement the breathable suede upper and maintain foot health throughout the day.
To maintain the performance and safety characteristics of your footwear, regular maintenance is required. Start by removing any surface dirt or debris with a soft suede brush after every shift. Allowing contaminants like fats or oils to sit on the suede can degrade the material and reduce the shoe's lifespan.
Avoid soaking the leather in water; if the shoes become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can cause the suede to become brittle and may affect the bond of the PU outsole. Periodically applying a suede protector spray will help maintain the water-repellent properties of the leather without affecting its breathability.
