The FT73 Steel Suede Leather Low Shoe represents a refined approach to safety footwear, combining the tactile durability of suede leather with rigorous industrial protection standards. Designed as a low-profile alternative to traditional safety boots, this shoe provides a sophisticated appearance without compromising on the essential safety certifications required for modern work environments. It is a reliable choice for professionals who transition between site inspections and office environments, offering a balanced blend of resilience and an understated aesthetic.
Constructed from high-quality suede leather, the FT73 is engineered for longevity and breathable comfort. The mono-density polyurethane (PU) outsole is particularly noteworthy for its performance; it is designed to be flexible yet highly durable, offering excellent fuel and oil resistance (FO) and cold insulation (CI) to keep feet comfortable in varying temperatures. The shoe’s low-cut design facilitates greater ankle mobility compared to a full boot, while the suede upper provides a soft feel that conforms to the foot over time. With its SR rating, the shoe provides superior slip resistance on ceramic tile surfaces, ensuring confidence in every step.
As a piece of safety footwear, this item is not available for customisation. Adding embroidery or print to safety shoes can compromise the structural integrity of the materials or interfere with the safety certifications (EN ISO 20345). We prioritise your safety and the compliance of your personal protective equipment above all else, ensuring that the shoe performs exactly as intended by the manufacturer.
These low shoes are ideally suited for warehouse supervisors, site managers, and light industrial workers who require the protection of an S3L safety rating but prefer the look and feel of a trainer or shoe. Their slip-resistant and antistatic properties also make them a practical choice for individuals working in logistics or manufacturing facilities where floor conditions may be unpredictable.

When selecting your size, consider the type of work socks you intend to wear. These shoes feature a steel toecap, which does not stretch, so ensuring a correct fit from the outset is vital for long-term comfort. We recommend ensuring there is a small amount of space at the front of the shoe to prevent your toes from rubbing against the protective cap during movement.
To maintain the performance and safety characteristics of your suede footwear, it is essential to keep the leather clean and dry. We recommend regularly removing loose dirt with a soft suede brush; leaving debris on the surface can lead to premature wear of the leather fibres and may cause the material to degrade over time.
If the shoes become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Forced drying can cause the suede to become brittle and crack, which may compromise the shoe's flexibility and overall longevity. For the outsole, ensure it is kept free of stones and debris to maintain its slip-resistant properties and prevent damage to the mono-density PU structure.
