Safety Footwear

Welcome to the Dickies Store UK, an official distributor for Dickies, the industry leader in supply of quality safety footwear, superior protective clothing and safety gear. We offer a large array of protective industrial workwear products, all extended into specialist fields and customised for every type of workforce (painter’s overalls, rigger boots, waitron’s aprons, etc.) Dickies Store UK also offers high visibility jackets and coats, and a full range of footwear including super safety boots, waterproof Wellingtons and non-safety products.

Steel-toe boots are sometimes called safety boots. They are tough, durable and re-enforced with different materials in order to protect your foot from hazards of the workplace. These boots are made of leather or rubber and often have steel plates inserted not only over the tip of the foot, but in the centre of the sole to prevent painful puncture from below.

Safety footwear is important to the construction industry and finds many uses in an industrial setting. One will find most companies involved in physical labour have to conform to occupational heath and safety standards and often to insurance specifications too – there require the wearing of closed and steel-toed boots. Most of the time, the boots themselves are regulated through a strict quality measurement (such as the EN345) in order to ensure the highest safety level. Dickies Store UK is proud to say that all Dickies steel-toe boots meet safety guidelines, and most exceed the recommendations.

Safety footwear comes in a variety of styles, not only as shoes, but as clogs and boots. A variety of available styles ranging from classic to formal are available from our extensive website – everything can be ordered online and will be delivered to your door.

The best designed safety shoe comprises of single-strip leather or rubber closely stitched to prevent entry of any elements (water, heat, mud, dirt, etc.). Wellington boots are constructed in this means, as well as waders which are used by anglers in various environments.

Other types of Dickies safety footwear are created for different environments and natural settings. Specialty boots for industrial workers like steelworkers, chemical workers and hundreds of other reasons. Of course there are the plain and normal lace-ups boots shod with hobnails and heel and toe plates.

There are boots for fashionable women, with tapered styles and pointed heels, platform soles, etc. There are sporty boots for the sportsman in you, football boots, rugby boots, riding boots, skateboarding boots, etc. Protective, surplus and safety gear have become a focus in today’s easily impressed world – not as protective gear, but as a statement.

Safety clothing, and indeed safety footwear is designed to protect the wearer from negative and damaging hazards of the work environment. Hazards are rife in the work environment: fires, oil spills, sharp nails, broken glass, chemicals, infections, and many more to vast to mention. On top of protective clothing for the wearer, some protective gear may actually be to protect the work environment from the wearer – such as in a hospital situation or in a Clean Room (where a sterile environment is maintained to prevent particles from entering).

Protective clothing and safety footwear is often referred to as PPE (Personal Protection Equipment). This classification of personal protective equipment refers not only to clothes and footwear, but also to non-wearable things like sunglasses and ear mufflers. Even body amour and bullet-proof vests are considered protective clothing (not that these are offered by Dickies Store UK).

Other items that fall under the category of personal protective equipment are: fall arrest clothing, high visibility clothing, aprons, diapers or nappies, space suits, fire protection suits, lifejackets, chainsaw protective gear (helmet, anti-vibration cloves and safety boots), bee keeping outfits, chaps, and more.

Dickies Store UK offers a beautiful and wide range of Ladies Safety Footwear, which boasts a range of styles, all round across the board comfort, and full protection including steel-toe (EN345 – 200 Joules) cap shoes. You will also notice that the boots and shoes in the ladies range come in slightly smaller sizes and with a wider variety of colours.

Our classic and plain (non safety) boots are just as rugged and durable as the safety boots, just not as protective. Functional and durable stylish shoes are available including the Dickies Tradition boot, the Deluxe Brander boot and the Dickies Dealer.

Dickies Safety Footwear has all the conveniences and features of the non safety range including a solid grip, all round absolute comfort and support (ankles are fragile) and most importantly, Dickies can become part of your everyday working environment and indeed your life.
