Design & Performance
The technical heart of this trainer is its Flyknit polyester upper. By utilizing recycled PET bottles, Portwest has created a material that is both sturdy and exceptionally breathable, allowing for natural thermoregulation during active shifts. The Compositelite technology ensures the shoe remains lightweight, preventing the heavy, dragging sensation often associated with traditional safety footwear. Underfoot, the PU/PU outsole provides a stable platform, while the gel footbed absorbs the shock of every step on hard industrial flooring.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation services for safety footwear. The structural integrity of a safety trainer is paramount to its certification; applying heat-transfers or embroidery to the recycled Flyknit upper could compromise the material's strength or interfere with the safety standards it was built to meet. We prefer to ensure your protection remains uncompromised, even if it means missing an opportunity for a logo.
Use Cases
These trainers are ideally suited for professionals working in clean, indoor environments where mobility is key. They are a popular choice for the catering and hospitality sectors, including bakers and butchers, as well as those in light warehousing or logistics. Anyone spending the majority of their day on their feet will appreciate the combination of the gel footbed and the breathable upper.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the type of work socks you intend to wear. A medium-weight technical sock can help manage moisture and improve the overall fit within a safety trainer. As these trainers feature a knitted upper, they offer a slightly more forgiving fit than leather, but they should still feel secure around the heel and midfoot to provide proper support.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety trainers is vital for ensuring they continue to provide the level of protection required by the S1P standard. We recommend regularly removing surface dirt with a soft brush to prevent particles from settling into the knitted fibres, which can cause premature wear over time.
The soles should be kept free of debris to maintain their slip-resistant properties. If the trainers become damp, they should be allowed to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing them directly against a heat source, such as a radiator, as excessive heat can damage the recycled materials and weaken the adhesives used in the construction.
