Top 10 best safety trainers

#1 Gravity ‘Earth’ Safety Trainers

Reason for choosing: Innovative design offers supreme comfort and prevents fatigue

The entire Gravity safety trainer range has been designed with maximum comfort and wearability in mind. A unique dual-density sole unit that exploits the natural shock-absorbing properties of air promises energy absorption and return that does not lessen with time and wear. Air tunnels running across the width of the sole unit are equally distributed throughout the entire plantar arch, allowing for continuous air flow and so infinite rebound.

Made from soft suede leather and anti-abrasion breathable textile, and incorporating a lightweight aluminium toe cap and antibacterial insole, these trainers also come with easy-fit elastic uppers allowing them to be slipped on and off without needing to use laces every time.  View trainers →

#2 Gravity ‘Saturn’ Trainer Boots

Employing the same air hole technology in the sole unit as the other safety trainers in the Gravity range, these trainer boots offer impressive energy absorption and return, and better than average grip.

Made from soft grain leather with an abrasion-resistant textile upper and incorporating an aluminium toe cap, they are water resistant, lightweight and breathable.  View trainers →
