Everyday comfort is essential

The key motivator which inspired the development of this style of safety boots came first from delivering all day long comfort in a rugged outdoor environment. Manufacturers have invested in extensive research and development to produce rugged and comfortable styles which respond to the demands and needs of today's professional. These brands have brought together teams of young and creative designers who have combined the modern production technologies and functional requirements of today's worker to deliver safety footwear that simply performs. Embracing the styles and designs found on the high street, for those that pursue outdoor activities the safety hikers of today protect and deliver the functional safety requirements as well as looking great.

Ideal for all weathers

Because hikers have their origins in the great outdoors they are naturally at home for those professionals and workers that spend the majority of their working day on the construction site or working in exposed areas outdoors. The sole units on a majority of styles are designed to give you stability and traction on a wide variety of surfaces, some of the premium styles have the very well acclaimed Vibram sole unit which performs on a wide variety of terrains and also benefits the wearer by delivering great comfort. It is fair to say at this point that not all safety hikers are the same, different models and designs have different features and it is fair to say at this point that those models at the higher end of the budgetary scale boast the most features and generally deliver greater comfort than those styles at the lower end of the price scale.

We always advise that if you do work in all weathers, rain, wind or sunshine it would be advisable to choose a style that has a good quality waterproof membrane. These waterproof membranes help keep the feet dry and protect from the harsher elements whilst having the added benefit of allowing the foot to breathe naturally thus helping increase your daily comfort factor. All our styles of safety footwear featured in our web store are clearly marked with easy to read symbols, so if you do require a pair that has some water resistance our pictorial icons will clearly show this. Some styles in the range are water resistant and this means it is only designed for limited exposure to water,only shower proof and not fully waterproof. Others are fully waterproof and can cope with longer exposure to water.
