Collection: Slip Resistant Safety Shoes for Drivers

Drivers spend their shifts in two worlds. Hours behind the wheel, then on their feet at every stop. Our safety shoes for drivers are built for that constant transition, with EN ISO 20345-certified toe protection, waterproof uppers, all-day cushioning and slip-resistant outsoles for whatever surface comes next. 

Safety Shoes for Drivers Built for Every Stop on the Route

Driver footwear needs to perform in the cab and on your feet, through whatever the weather throws at a full shift.

Most styles in this collection are certified to EN ISO 20345, the European standard for safety footwear, with composite toe protection and puncture-resistant midsoles for those handling heavy goods or working in environments where impact protection matters. Many styles also include TripGuard, designed to prevent the toe catching on the cab step when getting in and out, reducing trip risk across a full day of stops. For those working in wet or cold conditions, a number of fully waterproof styles are available, built to keep feet dry across an outdoor shift.

The range covers lace-up and slip-on styles in both low and mid-cut options, with lighter styles available for roles that don't require full toe protection. Browse our men's driver shoes and women's driver shoes for gender-specific options.

Do delivery drivers need safety-certified footwear?
It depends on the role. If you're handling heavy goods, working with tail lifts, or your employer has a formal policy covering footwear, EN ISO 20345-certified shoes with composite toe protection are worth considering. Otherwise, styles certified to EN ISO 20347 may be sufficient. It’s also worth checking if your employer has specified a standard. Check individual product pages for the certification of each style.

What does TripGuard do, and how does it help drivers?
Getting in and out of a cab dozens of times a day is one of the most common sources of trips and stumbles in driving roles. TripGuard is a design feature that stops the front of the shoe catching on the cab step when you're moving up or down, reducing that risk across a full day of stops. It's a detail that matters most when you're tired and moving quickly at the end of a long route.

Are there waterproof options for outdoor and winter deliveries?
Yes, a number of our styles feature fully waterproof uppers, built to keep feet dry across outdoor stops in wet or cold conditions. If you're doing regular outdoor work or winter routes, look for styles with waterproof construction rather than water-resistant uppers. Check individual product pages for the specific rating of each style.

What's the difference between a composite toe cap and a steel toe cap?
Both provide impact protection to EN ISO 20345 standards. Composite toe caps are lighter than steel, won't conduct cold in low temperatures, and don't set off metal detectors; useful for drivers making deliveries to sites with security screening.

Do these shoes work for bus drivers as well as delivery and HGV drivers?
Yes, the core requirements are similar across driving roles: slip-resistant outsoles, protection when stepping in and out of the vehicle, and comfort across a full shift. The main variable is whether your employer or operator requires certified safety footwear. Bus drivers may not need the same level of impact protection as those handling heavy goods, so it's worth checking your operator's requirements before choosing a style.
