Made from grey suede, these CAT safety trainers are sturdy and strong. A bit pricey compared to others but the quality of the brand is visible throughout the trainer They are slip-resistant but although they’re being classed as waterproof, there are a few amounts of people complaining about getting their toes wet on rainy days. Work trainers have many different features and come in many different combinations. Some important features include puncture-resistant soles, steel toe caps and a non-slip rubber sole. But you need to make sure you choose your safety footwear based on your specific needs and working environment. If you work in construction, for example, you might want to take a look at our guide on the best heavy-duty work boots here.

One problem with these boots is the fact that they are classed as wide fit, keep that in mind if you’re planning to buy one of these – you might have to go for 1 size smaller.

Keep in mind, though, these safety trainers are not for running! That’s the only negative thing I can think about: the not-so-safety trainer design. Don’t be fooled by their look – these shoes are equipped with a protective steel toe cap. Plus, their anti-slip sole is quite resistant. They are comfortable and slip-resistant, if you spend a lot of time of the day wearing a pair of steel toe cap shoes, these lightweight safety trainers might be a good option for you. There are also plenty of different models to choose from, depending on your taste. If you have to wear safety trainers in your workplace, then chances are you have to keep them on for many hours. Then why not choose your best safety trainer, the one that fits your needs and comfort standards? What I like about these is the fact that they are the type of work trainers that you can wear pretty much anywhere outside of your workplace.

If possible, make sure they are machine-washable and can easily be dried. This will prolong the lifespan of your footwear and keep it clean for longer than if you just wipe them down with a damp cloth. If not, then use a separate cleaning product that is suitable for the materials your trainer is made of. Overall, good value for money, they prove to be a popular choice among others so a well-deserved spot on this list. My only complaint would be the fact that they are not waterproof, which would have probably made them the complete deal. Other than that, you can’t get a lot more out of a safety trainer in terms of comfort. Their only downside: not being waterproof. So if you tend to work outdoors on wet, rainy days, these are not for you.

These Goodyear safety shoes are anti-static and although being robust, they proved to be quite a lightweight trainer. Heat resistant as well – to up to 300 degrees. The top of your safety trainers is made out of some kind of fabric, leather or rubber. These materials all have their own unique properties that will affect your comfort and foot health. Some are more breathable than others, but they all come with different durability and flexibility features. Question: Which sole material is best for safety shoes? Weighing around 1,1kg, this pair of shoes had to be part of our best steel toe safety trainers list. Their fabric is surprisingly breathable given its waterproof nature. The outer material is leather while the inside is made of mesh. Another strong characteristic of CAT footwear: they are made to last. So if you don’t mind paying that bit extra for the quality it offers, the Caterpillar brand is well known for its footwear durability.

The fact that they only weigh approximately 1,3 kg (~2,8 pounds) don’t take away their compliance with the Iso 20345 Standard. As a negative, although they are classed as non-slip, because of their flat rubber compound sole they are sometimes difficult to wear in greasy environments. Most of the safety shoes listed here (or the ones you find on the market) come with an anti-slip feature. That can prove to be very handy as most environments can become wet or slippery at some point. Make sure you take that into consideration before buying your work trainers. Electrical Surge Protection is an important feature so if you work around electrical components – make sure you buy non-conductive shoes.

As a minus, they are a bit heavier than some of the work trainers that we review here. If you’re willing to go along with that for extra comfort and protection, then they might be a good fit. Depending on your budget, they might prove to be a good long-term investment, as CAT footwear is well known for its durability. CAT footwear is synonymous with high quality.

Make sure the insoles are removable – this way you can replace them with a new set if they wear out from use. If not, then at least keep an extra pair at work to change into as soon as possible.One of the most important tips: don’t prioritise cost over quality. Especially if you are going to wear them for a decent amount of hours every single day. You do not want to buy a fragile pair of shoes that will only make your feet suffer – instead, you should invest in quality footwear. Think about your safety, health and comfort. 5. Look for some soft insoles
