Product Overview
The Composite Textile Trainer S1PS FO SR represents a sophisticated fusion of contemporary footwear design and rigorous industrial safety standards. These trainers are engineered for professionals who require the agility of a lightweight shoe without compromising on the protective features of traditional safety boots. With a sleek black and green aesthetic, they provide a professional appearance suitable for both customer-facing roles and heavy-duty environments.
Key Features
- Fibreglass Toecap: This non-metallic component provides robust protection against impact and compression, ensuring the safety of your toes without the thermal conductivity or weight associated with traditional steel.
- Puncture-Resistant Midsole: A flexible, non-metallic layer integrated into the sole prevents sharp objects from piercing through to the foot, which is essential for busy construction sites or workshops.
- TPU Moulded Upper with Mesh Back: This combination offers a structured, durable exterior while the mesh provides excellent breathability, helping to regulate foot temperature during long shifts.
- 100% Non-Metallic Construction: Designed to be entirely metal-free, these trainers are ideal for environments with metal detectors, such as security-restricted areas or airports, preventing unnecessary delays.
- EN ISO 20345:2022 S1PS FO SR Certification: These trainers meet the latest safety standards, including fuel oil resistance and slip resistance, providing reliable traction and protection.
Design & Performance
The performance of the FT35 trainer is rooted in its material composition. The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) moulded upper provides a protective cage that resists abrasion and maintains the shoe's shape, while the textile elements ensure the trainer remains flexible enough for active movement. The inclusion of a fibreglass toecap is a deliberate design choice; it is lighter than steel, which significantly reduces wearer fatigue over the course of an eight-hour shift.
The non-metallic midsole is equally impressive, offering high-level protection against sharp debris while allowing the foot to flex naturally. This makes the trainer particularly effective for roles that require frequent kneeling or climbing, where a rigid sole would be a hindrance. The slip-resistant (SR) outsole ensures stable footing on various surfaces, a critical factor for safety in fast-paced industrial settings.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on this specific product to maintain its structural integrity and safety certification. Modifying the upper material through stitching or heat application could potentially damage the protective layers or the TPU moulding, which would invalidate the EN ISO 20345 safety standards. Our priority is ensuring the footwear performs exactly as tested to keep you safe on the job.
Use Cases
These trainers are highly versatile and particularly well-suited for warehouse operatives, forklift drivers, and transport professionals who spend a significant amount of time on their feet. They are also an excellent choice for tradespeople such as plumbers and electricians who require a professional look with trade-level protection. Furthermore, their non-metallic nature makes them the standard choice for workers in high-security environments.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, we recommend choosing your standard shoe size as these trainers are designed for a comfortable, secure fit. For those who frequently work in colder conditions, pairing these trainers with high-quality work socks can provide additional cushioning and thermal insulation. Ensure the laces are securely fastened to provide the maximum ankle support and to ensure the foot remains correctly positioned relative to the protective toecap.
Caring for your product
To maintain the safety performance and longevity of your trainers, regular cleaning is essential. We recommend removing surface dirt and grit with a soft brush or damp cloth after each shift. Allowing dirt to build up can cause the TPU and mesh materials to degrade prematurely through abrasion.
If the trainers become wet, they should be allowed to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can cause the bonding agents used in the trainer's construction to fail and may lead to the materials becoming brittle, which compromises the shoe's flexibility and comfort. Avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the technical fabrics and the integrity of the slip-resistant sole.
