Product Overview
The Steelite Trekker Shoe S1P is a robust yet breathable solution for professionals who require reliable foot protection without the weight of a traditional safety boot. Constructed with a cow suede leather upper, this shoe offers a refined aesthetic combined with the flexibility needed for active shifts and constant movement. It is engineered to meet the EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P standard, ensuring it provides essential safety features for diverse indoor work environments, from the warehouse floor to the commercial kitchen.
Key Features
Integrated Steel Toecap: Provides essential protection against impact and compression, shielding the toes from falling objects or heavy equipment in the workplace.
Steel Midsole: Offers penetration resistance, preventing sharp objects like nails or metal shards from piercing the sole and injuring the foot.
Dual Density PU/PU Outsole: Delivers excellent slip resistance and is specifically resistant to oils, ensuring stability and grip on various floor surfaces.
Cow Suede Upper: The natural properties of suede allow for better airflow compared to synthetic materials, maintaining a comfortable temperature for the wearer during long working hours.
Design & Performance
Performance in a safety shoe is defined by how well it balances protection with daily comfort. The Steelite Trekker uses a dual-density PU outsole, which provides a cushioned inner layer for shock absorption and a harder-wearing outer layer for long-term durability. The cow suede leather is naturally flexible, which means these shoes require less 'breaking in' than heavy grain leather alternatives. As an S1P rated shoe, it is specifically designed for environments where there is a risk of toe injury and underfoot penetration, but where breathability is prioritised over high-level water resistance.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety seriously, which is why we do not offer customisation on safety footwear like the Steelite Trekker Shoe. Any physical alteration to the upper material, such as embroidery or heat-pressing, could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the suede or interfere with the strict safety certifications of the shoe. To ensure your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) remains fully compliant with EN ISO 20345 standards and performs as the manufacturer intended, we supply these items in their original, tested condition.
Use Cases
This shoe is particularly well-suited for professionals in the catering and hospitality sectors, including chefs, bakers, and butchers, where oil resistance and toe protection are paramount. It is also an excellent choice for warehouse staff and light industry workers who are on their feet all day and require a substantial, sturdy shoe that provides protection without feeling overly restrictive during physical tasks.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, we recommend considering the type of socks you intend to wear. A thicker work sock can provide additional cushioning but may require a slightly more generous fit to ensure the steel toecap is correctly positioned over the toes. Always ensure the shoe is securely laced; this prevents internal friction and heel slip, which reduces wear on the internal lining and maintains the stability of the shoe's safety features.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Steelite Trekker shoes, it is important to keep the suede upper free from dust and debris. Allowing dirt to accumulate can clog the natural pores of the leather, which reduces breathability and may cause the material to stiffen or degrade over time. We recommend using a soft brush specifically designed for suede to maintain the texture and appearance of the leather.
The PU/PU outsole should be inspected regularly for stones or debris lodged in the tread pattern. If the tread becomes blocked, the slip-resistant and oil-resistant properties are significantly reduced, which could compromise your safety on smooth or greasy floors. If the shoes become damp, they should be allowed to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the suede to crack and the adhesives in the sole construction to fail.
