Recommendations from our Unishore Expert
This work shoe offers robust protection across multiple hazard environments. The composite midsole guards against penetration from sharp objects, whilst the non-metallic protective toe cap delivers impact resistance without metal components. The water-repellent upper helps keep moisture out during wet conditions, and the moulded footbed provides lasting comfort during extended wear. If you're working in environments combining heat, oil exposure, and static risks, this shoe ticks every box. The aggressive tread pattern on the outsole ensures confident footing even when moving quickly across slick surfaces.
