Product Overview
The Steelite Air Cushion Safety Shoe SB represents a sophisticated intersection between traditional corporate footwear and essential workplace safety. Designed for the professional who requires protection without sacrificing a polished appearance, this shoe features a classically styled cemented construction. Its primary innovation lies in the specialized air-cushioned outsole, which provides a level of comfort and impact management often missing from standard safety footwear. It is a substantial and sturdy shoe that remains discreet enough for office environments while meeting the rigorous requirements of the EN ISO 20345: 2011 SB standard.
Key Features
- Integrated Steel Toe Cap: Provides critical protection against impact and compression in accordance with SB safety standards, ensuring the wearer is protected from falling objects and crushing hazards.
- Air Cushioned Outsole: This feature is engineered for superior energy absorption, significantly reducing the strain on the wearer's joints during long periods of standing or walking on hard surfaces.
- Slip Resistant Design: The outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on various floor surfaces, reducing the risk of slips and falls in fast-paced work environments.
- Cemented Construction: A traditional manufacturing method that ensures a lightweight feel and a sleek, formal profile suitable for corporate and security roles.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Steelite Air Cushion Safety Shoe is centered on its ability to offer all-day comfort during extended shifts. The air-cushioned sole acts as a suspension system for the feet, which is particularly beneficial for those patrolling large sites or navigating warehouse floors. The black finish and classic silhouette allow it to blend seamlessly with formal uniforms or professional attire. Despite its refined appearance, the shoe is a substantial piece of safety equipment, built to withstand the demands of transport and security sectors where durability is non-negotiable.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we specialise in high-quality branding; however, this specific item is sold without customisation. Footwear is manufactured to strict safety standards, and any modification to the upper—such as embroidery or heat printing—could compromise the integrity of the material and invalidate the safety certifications. To ensure your protective equipment performs exactly as intended by the manufacturer, we supply these shoes in their original, unadulterated form.
Use Cases
This shoe is ideally suited for professionals in the security, corporate, and transport sectors who must transition between office environments and areas requiring safety footwear. It is also an excellent choice for those working in the catering and hospitality industries, specifically for front-of-house staff, bakers, or butchers who require slip resistance and toe protection within a professional aesthetic.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a cornerstone of the UK workwear industry since 1976. Operating from our technical hub in Telford, Shropshire, we have decades of experience in selecting and supplying footwear that meets the highest standards of safety and comfort. We understand that your workwear is more than just a uniform; it is a vital tool for your daily performance.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure there is a small amount of space at the front of the shoe to account for the presence of the steel toe cap, which will not stretch over time. Given the sturdy nature of this footwear, we recommend wearing high-quality work socks to enhance the moisture-wicking properties of the shoe and to ensure a secure fit throughout the day.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety footwear is essential to preserve both its professional appearance and its protective performance. Regularly removing dirt and debris from the outsole is necessary to ensure the slip-resistant properties remain effective; a build-up of grime can significantly reduce traction on smooth surfaces.
We recommend cleaning the uppers with a damp cloth and allowing them to dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Using a radiator to dry damp shoes can cause the cemented bonds and materials to become brittle, potentially leading to premature wear or separation. Periodic application of a suitable polish will help maintain the leather's suppleness and ensure the shoes continue to look professional in corporate settings.
