Let’s be frank – when it comes to high quality, long-lasting and comfortable women’s safety boots, there isn’t exactly a lot of choice out there.
Fortunately, at iSB Group, we’ve done the hard work for you. Read on to discover the best women’s safety boots on the market today.
Historically, women’s safety footwear has been made with more focus on the aesthetic, and less attention paid to performance, quality and durability.
Add to this the fact that many manufacturers use the same moulds to make women’s safety boots that they use to make men’s footwear – despite the science showing their feet are very different – and you’ll understand why many of the so-called women’s safety boots on the market today don’t meet our high standards.
Women and men walk differently, with women tending to take shorter, more frequent strides. Women are also more likely to pronate their feet (roll them inwards) as they walk (something that wearing good footwear can correct!).
Their feet are also a different shape. Women’s feet tend to be narrower, with higher arches, a lower instep, a more curved inside line, a shallower big toe, and a heel slimmer in relation to the width of the ball of their foot. Their Achilles tendons also tend to be smaller and higher.

At iSB Group, we believe everyone should wear safety boots suited to their needs and the demands of their job role. This includes having different safety boots for male and female workers.
Our range of women’s safety boots, shoes and trainers is small compared to the amount of men’s safety footwear and ‘unisex’ designs we stock, but it is growing all the time, and we’re committed to expanding it whenever we encounter new products that meet our rigorous standards for quality, comfort and durability.
Fortunately, there are manufacturers out there who agree with us that both men and women should equally have access to comfortable, high-performing safety footwear.
