Suited and booted in uvex 1 business safety footwear

Winner of the German Design Award 2020 from the German Design Council, the smart, stylish and extremely versatile uvex 1 business shoe can be worn straight from the production area to the office, where it blends perfectly with both casual wear, such as chinos or jeans, and more formal business attire such as a suit. You would never know from looking at it that the uvex 1 business is indeed safety footwear.

As the first company to design and manufacture such multipurpose safety footwear, uvex has ensured that the same shoes or boots can be comfortably worn throughout the working day, eliminating the need for more than one pair of shoes when changing work areas.

Available in three different fashionable and attractive options – two Derby lace-up shoes in different colour options and a desert boot – the resourceful and ultra-lightweight uvex 1 business safety footwear looks great, but also boasts a host of uvex’s renowned protection features.

These include robust, extra-wide protective steel toe caps, a metal-free, penetration-resistant midsole, an antistatic insole, and an ergonomically designed non-slip outsole, for maximum comfort and shock absorption with optimum protection. Added as standard is uvex’s innovative climazone technology, not only wicks moisture away from the foot, it helps regulate the internal temperature of the footwear ensures day-long comfort and wellbeing.

Offered in a choice of blue or grey, the adaptable, water-resistant and breathable uvex 1 business is also available in S2 and S3 versions.
