Product Overview
The Lite Trainer OB SR is a sophisticated solution for professionals who require the agility of an athletic shoe combined with the rigorous standards of occupational footwear. This lightweight trainer is entirely metal-free, making it an excellent choice for environments where weight reduction and flexibility are paramount. Designed with a sleek, low-profile aesthetic in black, it provides a professional appearance while offering the technical support needed for long shifts on hard surfaces.
Key Features
Flyknit Polyester Upper: The stretchy textile construction allows the trainer to conform to the natural shape of your foot, providing a snug and supportive fit that reduces internal movement and potential friction.
Metal-Free Construction: By removing all metal components, this footwear remains exceptionally light, helping to minimise leg fatigue during extended periods of walking or standing.
Dual Density Outsole: Featuring a combination of phylon and rubber, the outsole is designed to absorb energy at the heel, protecting your joints from the impact of hard flooring.
Certified Slip Resistance: Rated to SR standards under EN ISO 20347:2022, the outsole provides essential traction on slippery surfaces to enhance workplace safety.
Design & Performance
The technical performance of this trainer lies in its dual-density phylon rubber outsole. Phylon is a lightweight, responsive material that provides superior cushioning, while the rubber layer ensures durability and high-level grip. The Flyknit polyester upper is highly breathable, allowing for efficient air circulation around the foot—a critical feature for those working in high-temperature environments such as kitchens or bakeries. As an OB rated occupational shoe, it is engineered for those who do not require a protective toecap but still need the stability and slip resistance of professional-grade footwear.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Lite Trainer OB SR to ensure the product's safety certifications and structural integrity remain intact. Applying heat-press transfers or embroidery to the Flyknit material could damage the delicate textile fibres or compromise the snug fit of the upper. Additionally, any structural modifications to certified occupational footwear can void the EN ISO 20347:2022 safety rating, which is essential for your workplace protection.
Use Cases
This trainer is specifically designed for workers in the service and hospitality sectors. It is an ideal choice for chefs, kitchen porters, bakers, and butchers who require slip-resistant footwear for hygiene-sensitive environments. It is also well-suited for front-of-house staff, bar workers, and retail employees who need a smart, comfortable trainer that can withstand a full day of activity.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that the Flyknit upper is designed to provide a very close, sock-like fit. This is intended to provide maximum support and stability. We recommend pairing these trainers with high-quality, breathable socks to fully take advantage of the moisture-wicking properties of the textile upper, ensuring your feet remain dry and comfortable throughout your shift.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your trainers, regular light maintenance is recommended. The Flyknit polyester upper should be cleaned with a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Allowing dirt to accumulate can lead to premature wear of the textile fibres over time.
Avoid the use of harsh chemical detergents or bleaching agents, as these can break down the synthetic fibres and cause the black material to discolour. Such chemicals can also weaken the adhesives used in the construction of the sole.
If the trainers become wet, they should be allowed to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them on or near a direct heat source, such as a radiator, as excessive heat can cause the rubber components of the outsole to become brittle and lose their energy-absorbing properties.
