Product Overview
The Steelite Safety Clog (FW82) is a precision-engineered piece of safety footwear designed specifically for high-intensity, hygiene-critical environments. Combining the ease of a clog with the rigorous safety standards of a professional work shoe, this model prioritises both foot health and workplace safety. Constructed with a water-resistant microfibre upper, it provides a lightweight alternative to traditional leather while maintaining excellent durability and fluid resistance. Whether you are navigating a bustling commercial kitchen or a sanitised medical facility, this footwear offers the necessary protection without the burden of excessive weight.
Key Features
- Water-Resistant Microfibre Upper: This advanced material prevents liquid penetration, ensuring your feet remain dry in environments where spills and splashes are commonplace.
- Detachable Back Strap: Offers versatility in fit, allowing the wearer to switch between a traditional slip-on clog and a more secure, fastened shoe for increased stability during movement.
- Safety Toecap (SB): The integrated steel toecap protects the toes from impact and compression, an essential requirement in fast-paced professional environments.
- Slip-Resistant Mono PU Outsole (SR): Designed to provide superior traction on wet or greasy surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of workplace slips and falls.
- Fuel and Oil Resistant (FO): The outsole is specifically formulated to resist degradation when in contact with hydrocarbons, extending the life of the footwear in industrial settings.
- Energy Absorption (E) and Antistatic Properties (A): Features an energy-absorbing heel to reduce fatigue during long shifts and antistatic protection to prevent the build-up of static electricity.
Design & Performance
The FW82 is built for endurance. The use of high-quality microfibre ensures that the clog is not only lightweight but also breathable, which is vital for professionals spending many hours on their feet. The single-density Mono PU outsole is engineered for a balance of flexibility and sturdiness, providing consistent shock absorption. This reduces the strain on the wearer's joints, making it a reliable choice for long shifts in demanding sectors such as catering or healthcare.
Why No Customisation?
As this is a safety-certified piece of footwear, we do not offer customisation or embroidery. Any alteration to the structural integrity of the upper material, such as needle punctures from embroidery or heat application for transfers, could compromise the safety standards (SB) and the water-resistant properties of the microfibre. To ensure your protective equipment performs exactly as the manufacturer intended, we provide these as-is.
Use Cases
This footwear is ideally suited for professionals in the catering, hospitality, and food production industries. It is particularly recommended for chefs, bakers, butchers, and cleaning staff who require easy-to-clean, slip-resistant, and protective footwear that can withstand the rigours of a professional kitchen or production line.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the detachable back strap; it can be adjusted to ensure a closer fit for more active tasks or removed for quick changes. Given the lightweight microfibre construction, these clogs offer a comfortable fit from the first wear, though we always recommend wearing them with professional-grade work socks for optimal moisture management.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your safety clogs, consistent care is essential. Regularly wiping the microfibre upper with a damp cloth and mild detergent will prevent the build-up of fats, oils, and dirt, which can otherwise degrade the material over time.
Avoid drying the footwear near direct heat sources such as radiators, as excessive heat can cause the microfibre to become brittle and the PU outsole to crack. Instead, allow them to air dry naturally. Keeping the outsoles clean of debris will ensure the slip-resistant properties remain effective, protecting you throughout the lifespan of the shoe.
