Daniel Foster – Maintenance & Safety Expert View Profile →
- Top-Tier Grip: The SRC rating is the highest for slip resistance, genuinely brilliant.
- Care Needed: Microfibre requires regular wiping and airing to maintain its condition.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Anchor & Mill', a busy riverside pub in York, needed to upgrade their staff footwear to improve both safety and comfort after a minor slip incident. They decided to equip their entire kitchen and bar team with the Slipbuster Microfibre Safety Trainers.
'Honestly, the difference is night and day. The team feels more secure on their feet, especially during a hectic Saturday night service. They're comfy enough to wear for a 10-hour shift, and they still look smart. A brilliant bit of kit.'
Liam O'Connell – General Manager
The pub reported a significant improvement in staff confidence and has had zero slip-related incidents in the six months since the switch.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Give them a day or two to break in. Wear them for shorter periods initially to let them mould to your feet.
- Ensure you have the right fit. There should be a little wiggle room for your toes, but your heel should not slip.
- Pair with good quality moisture-wicking socks to get the most out of the shoe's breathable insole.
Keeping Them in Top Shape
- Wipe them down with a damp cloth at the end of each day to remove food and grime.
- Allow them to air out overnight. Avoid leaving them in a sealed locker or bag to prevent odours.
- Regularly check the tread on the sole for signs of wear and tear to ensure slip resistance isn't compromised.
- Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; mild soap and water is all that's needed for the microfibre upper.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these safety trainers unisex?
A: Yes, the simple, classic design is suitable for everyone, making it easy to outfit your entire team.
Q: How do I clean the microfibre material?
A: Simply wipe them with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid soaking them or using harsh chemicals to maintain the material's integrity.
Q: Is the steel toe cap heavy?
A: While steel caps add some weight, these trainers are designed to be as lightweight as possible to minimise foot fatigue during a long day.
Q: What does the S1 SRC rating actually mean?
A: S1 means the footwear has a 200-joule toe cap and anti-static properties. SRC is the highest level of slip resistance, tested on both ceramic and steel surfaces.
Q: Are these slip resistant kitchen trainers suitable for front-of-house staff?
A: Absolutely. Their discreet, matte black trainer design looks smart and professional, making them a great fit for staff who move between the kitchen and dining areas.
Q: Are the insoles removable?
A: Yes, the perforated antibacterial insoles can be removed, allowing you to use your own custom orthotics if needed.
Q: What is the benefit of a dual-density polyurethane sole?
A: The low-density mid-sole provides cushioning and comfort, while the high-density out-sole offers excellent durability and grip, giving you the best of both worlds.
Q: Are they breathable enough for a hot kitchen?
A: Yes, the combination of a microfibre upper and a perforated insole is specifically designed to promote airflow and keep feet cooler and more comfortable.

The long-term value comes from fewer slips, reduced staff absence, and a team that feels looked after.

Explore more from Slipbuster FootwearWhat Does an SRC Safety Rating Actually Mean?
You'll see 'SRC' on lots of safety footwear, but what is it really? Think of it as the ultimate grip test. For a shoe to earn an SRC rating, it has to pass two separate, rigorous slip-resistance tests. The first ('SRA') is on a ceramic tile surface wetted with a soapy solution. The second ('SRB') is on a smooth steel floor with glycerol – a horribly slippery combination. Passing both gets you the top 'SRC' rating.
In simple terms, it's like having high-performance, all-weather tyres for your feet. Whether the floor is wet from cleaning, greasy from cooking, or just a typical polished surface, these trainers are designed to provide reliable traction. It's this tested assurance that gives your team the confidence to move quickly and safely, even during the most frantic service.
