If there's a pair of shoes you need to be comfortable, protective and durable, it's your workwear footwear. Often a forgotten hero when it comes to your wardrobe, you’ll wear these shoes upwards of 40 hours a week - that’s a long time to be stuck in a pair of substandard shoes. Too long.

At Alex Direct, we recognise this a lot to ask of your footwear. That’s why we only stock high-quality shoes and work boots, suited to every work environment. Whether you want a pair of tough steel toe cap boots to protect you on construction sites, or comfortable clogs that won’t chafe during a 10 hour healthcare shift, we have a suitable choice for you.

The most popular picks in our collection include:

Safety Footwear Boots

Reduce your risk of crush injuries to your feet with our range of protective work boots. As well as steel toe caps, we have metal free options that keep your toes safe but won’t trigger metal detectors and are safe to wear in ESD environments.

Toe protection isn’t the only safety feature our safety footwear boots offer either.

Anti-slip soles, resistant to fuel, oil and even heat will help keep you on your feet when there are risks beneath your feet as well as above them.

And our work boots won’t just keep you safe, they’ll keep you comfortable. Look out for boots with shock absorbing heels and soles that reduce foot fatigue and help minimise the toll that endless work days take on your feet.

Combine this with a choice of waterproof but breathable membranes that keep your feet dry without suffocating them and our safety boots are an obvious choice.

You can even choose between leading brands like CAT, DeWalt, and Dickies to trust that your feet will be safe and comfortable in difficult conditions.

Work Safety Trainers

Even the most comfortable heavy duty workwear boots can be hard going on extra long days. Work safety trainers offer a more lightweight alternative.

Blending the comfort of trainers with robust safety features like reinforced toes and slip resistant soles, they’re perfect for workers who are always on the go. Warehouse workers, couriers and people working indoor trades can all benefit from the agility and ventilation offered by our trainers without sacrificing safety.

Work Clogs

For work environments whether hygiene is a priority, our work clogs are easy to clean and even disinfect.

If you work in healthcare, hospitality or cleaning, they’re an ideal choice. Lightweight and comfortable enough to be worn on full day shifts spent entirely on your feet, our work clogs allow you to stay comfortable and clean.

Steel toe cap boots form a big part of our workwear footwear range and they provide the ultimate impact protection. If you work in any sort of hazardous environment, steel toe caps are not just recommended, but mandatory. Ours come with rugged durability, ankle support and all-day cushioning to both prevent injury and keep you comfortable.

There are many benefits to choosing work safety trainers from this range, including their lightweight and flexible nature. They combine athletic comfort with the safety features you’d expect from traditional boots to be the modern work footwear favourite. Comfortable, stylish and crucially protective, work safety trainers are an ideal choice for so many professions.

Work clogs are the modern work footwear staple of those who work in clinical environments, such as healthcare buildings and kitchens. This is because they are easy to clean and remain hygienic, while also providing the wearer with enough comfort, grip and support for long shifts.
