DEWALT Fargo, Men's Construction Shoe

Product Information

FYI, there are actually two safety trainers which bear the Crossfire name: a low-top and hi-top. Of the two, the latter is by far the better buy. Below, we take a look at why it might just be the best DeWALT safety trainer for you. Build Even more trainer DNA is present in the integrated eyelets, rather than boot-like metal lacing hardware. This is not only a more flexible option, but more durable as Kevlar will dutifully hold your laces fast without warping or snapping. While kitted-out similar to many full-fledged work boots, the Cutter very much wears and looks like trainers. These are the kind of safety trainers you won’t mind wearing even on your days off! Build In terms of durability, you can expect your Darlingtons to go the distance–up to a year of hard wear is to be expected. And, while steel toes are normally a point of strain, causing the uppers to wear through or stitching to come apart, that’s not the case here. DeWALT reinforces the toes of the Darlington with scuff pads, offering vastly improved longevity of these otherwise lightweight safety trainers.

But considering the bulk of the uppers consists of fabric, the Crossfire Mid is far more flexible and lighter weight than similarly-sized work boots. In fact, the pair weigh barely over a kilogram together, undercutting even many low-rise trainers!

Top 5 Lightweight DeWALT Safety Trainers

Usually, manufacturers will use both methods, then shore up defences by shoring up non-flex areas. The most common location for reinforcement is over the toe cap, along the metatarsals, and right behind the heel. This reinforcement may include leather, TPU, Kevlar, or other sturdy materials–usually with a double or triple stitch to bind it to the rest of the uppers. Quality control, durability, and guarantees The Krypton’s sole is a beauty beyond its sleek aesthetic, as well. Those low-profile PU treads hug the ground with an SRA-rated grip. Additionally, the material is naturally oil-repellent, preventing chemical breakdown of your critical safety footwear. Fit and finish Believe it or not, the pair do weigh in at just under a kilo and a half. That’s fairly heavy as far as trainers go, but still featherweight in terms of safety gear. Nevertheless, we’re willing to bet you’ll be glad for what bulk there is when something heavy falls on your feet! Once again, we see DeWALT’s liberal usage of breathable mesh and anti-bacterial treatment to create a healthier internal working environment for your feet. The Plane would thus be a great bet for especially hot days. Fit and finish As mentioned previously, the DeWALT Plane’s soles are surprisingly robust, with a unique tread design which grips hard floors and uneven terrain with equal ease. Additionally, the rubber compound features anti-static and heat-resistant properties, protecting you from a wide range of hazards.

Another method is to use lightweight, flexible materials like mesh where the shoe needs to bend. You’ll usually find this material about the ankle and above the instep, as well as on the sides of the foot. DeWALT is a trusted provider of industrial safety equipment, so it follows they’d know how to design a properly protective pair of trainers. The Cutter shields your feet from high-energy impacts and crushing forces by way of tough steel toe caps. DeWALT didn’t stop there; also adorning the toe is a dedicated scuff guard– perfect for anyone who does a lot of kneeling for their job.DeWALT pulled out all the stops to make the Darlington comfortable. The foot bed consists of their special ProComfort insole and shank. This combination provides firm arch support and a stable base for your feet, yet cradle the contours of each foot and absorb the tiresome impact of each footstep you take. DeWALT are a well-known manufacturer of protective gear, and they have an admirable range of safety trainers. Whether you’re looking for an ultra-light athletic shoe with extra protective kit, or you need something approaching the sturdiness of a work boot, DeWALT has it all. If it weren’t for the big “ DeWALT” logo slapped across the tongue, you might be forgiven for mistaking these for dedicated running shoes. The Darlington features all the trappings of an athletic shoe, from the synthetic uppers to the aggressive tread design beneath the sole.

The first thing you’ll notice about the DeWALT Plane is its ultra-low profile. However, further inspection reveals that all the protective bulk normally associated with safety shoes is present–though only where absolutely necessary. The rest has been trimmed away for maximum mobility. Below, you’ll find tough-but-flexible PU outsoles. The treads feature a fairly low-profile, making the Krypton an ideal safety trainer for gripping hard and/or wet floors.
