New Balance
New Balance has been engineering footwear since 1906, and that century of work on how shoes should fit, move and support the foot carries straight through into its safety range. Rather than starting from a standard safety shoe last and adding protection, New Balance builds from its running shoe heritage outward, so the comfort technology comes first and the certified protection is engineered around it.
That shows up in the details. REVlite midsoles keep the shoes noticeably lighter than a typical safety trainer without giving up cushioning, Fresh Foam adds genuine underfoot padding for standing or walking shifts, and AT TREAD outsoles borrow lug patterns from trail and running shoes to grip on warehouse floors, building sites and kitchens alike. NDURE, New Balance's own PU compound, reinforces the toe and collar so the shoe holds its shape shift after shift.
Choose from composite toe or steel toe protection across trainers, boots and women's styles, all suited to logistics, warehousing, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing and construction, wherever a working day means staying on your feet.

New Balance FAQs
Composite toe caps use non-metal materials, so they're lighter and won't set off metal detectors, while steel toe caps offer a traditional, typically more compact level of impact protection. Both meet the protection requirements of most UK workplaces, so the right choice usually comes down to weight preference and whether the job involves metal detection checks.
Yes, this is one of the main differences from conventional safety footwear. The REVlite midsole is specifically designed to cut weight without reducing cushioning, which is a direct result of New Balance applying its running shoe technology to safety footwear rather than building a safety shoe from scratch.
NDURE is New Balance's own PU compound used to reinforce the toe and collar areas of the shoe, the parts that typically wear out first through repeated flexing and scuffing. It's built in to help the shoe hold up over a longer working life rather than being a separate add-on.
Yes. The AT TREAD outsole combines lug designs taken from both trail and running shoes, so it's built to handle a mix of surfaces, from a smooth warehouse floor to a muddy construction site or a wet kitchen floor, within the same shoe.
It's aimed at jobs that keep people on their feet for long shifts, including logistics, warehousing, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing and construction. The comfort-first design, drawing on New Balance's running shoe background, is particularly suited to roles involving a lot of standing or walking rather than static desk-based work.
Yes, there's a dedicated women's range alongside the men's trainers and boots, built on the same core technologies (REVlite, Fresh Foam, NDURE) rather than a scaled-down version of the men's fit.
