I wore work trainers for a while but i like boots , give you extra support around you ankles when walking over uneven places, and being a clutz the extra always helps

I'm still using the DeWalt Cutter safety trainers. Still going strong after several months now. I'll need to find out when I posted up on them just to see how long ago it was. Great, light PPE trainers

Riggers for big sites, desert boots for domestic.

I used to wear Riggers on big industrial floors, tuck your pants in, stops the screed getting in. But most big builders have banned them now, no ankle support it seems. So steel toe cap desert boots for me.

I would wear slippers if they didn;'t look daft :lol:

I buy Nike Air trainers then when they're a bit scruffy, I use them for work. I find them the most comfortable.

Better watch your feet mate with no PPE. A simple mistake could put you out of work for weeks or even months. Got to look after number one

Bought these today at Arco, nice salesman even dropped the VAT for me.


Badly needed a new pair as my Timberlands are past their best.


Not a professional look..

They look about as comfortable as a dose of the runs ..

regatta trainers for me...cost about 30 quid but last ages, imo its totally different kettle of fish doing a domestic job to working on site....
