Named EN ISO 20345:2011 Certification, Not A Vague "Safety Rated" Claim

Many work shoes advertise themselves as "safety rated" without naming the actual standard they've been tested against. Safety Brands' trainers are certified to a specifically named European safety standard.

Certified to a named European safety standard

The trainers carry the EN ISO 20345:2011 SBP SRA safety rating — a concrete, named certification standard, rather than a vague "safety approved" claim without a verifiable reference number.

Three specifically named impact protections

The steel toe cap is designed to protect against three named risks: anti-smashing, anti-pinching, and anti-puncture — concrete, enumerated protections, rather than an unspecified "protective toe cap" description.

Fly knit breathable upper specifically named

The upper is constructed from a fly knit material specifically chosen for breathability — a concrete, named textile construction, distinct from a solid leather or synthetic upper that wouldn't offer the same airflow.

Water-resistant property specifically stated

The trainers are specifically described as water-resistant — a concrete, verifiable weather property, relevant for anyone working outdoors or in damp conditions.

Sizing specifically measured in centimetres, not just UK shoe sizes

The brand specifically instructs buyers to measure their foot in centimetres before ordering, providing a conversion table alongside standard UK sizes — a concrete, precise sizing method that accounts for safety footwear commonly running larger than standard trainers.

Mesh and fabric lining insole specifically named

The insole combines a mesh and fabric lining for additional cushioning and breathability — a concrete, two-material construction, rather than an unspecified "comfortable insole" description.

UKCA certification specifically confirmed

The product carries UKCA certification, confirming compliance with UK conformity assessment requirements post-Brexit — a concrete, named regulatory marking relevant to buyers wanting assurance of legal compliance for workplace use in the UK.

In Summary

Who This Product Suits

These trainers suit workers who need certified toe protection without sacrificing the breathability and comfort of a standard trainer, thanks to the fly knit upper and named EN ISO safety certification. The centimetre-based sizing guide also makes it a practical choice for first-time buyers unfamiliar with how safety footwear sizing can run differently from everyday shoe sizes. \\Discover the Safety Trainer Style N31 on Safety Brands UK —
