Safety footwear for women
A survey commissioned by Trades Union Congress reveals that only 29% of women wear PPE specifically designed for them; a further 57% said their current PPE actually hampered their work.

To help encourage and support females in industry, Dr. Martens new Women’s Collection ensures women have a choice of protection, style and colour for their footwear. The collection includes:
• Maple: A classic 8-eyelet lace up steel-toe work boot, the Maple is designed with soft leather and heat-sealed uppers. The padded tongue ensures comfort, and the SoftWair sock liner delivers extra cushioning at the heel.
• Arbor: This classic Chelsea work boot has a steel toe cap with soft leather uppers that are heat-sealed with a PVC outsole that is durable. This too has a SoftWair sock liner. A raised grid pattern promotes underfoot airflow to keep feet dry and comfortable.
Available in UK sizes 3-9, the collection is available to buy online: http://www.drmartens.com/uk/c/industrial-womens
