Written by Mark Fishwick | Apr 30, 2026 9:00:00 AM

Forget so-called ‘unisex’ designs – at iSB Group we believe in real women’s safety trainers for real women.

This means we sell safety trainers for women that are designed to the specific dimensions and characteristics of female feet.

Discover the best women's safety trainers for 2025 with our guide to the top options on the market today…

 

Do women need different safety trainers to men?

Yes, they do!

Sadly, many manufacturers use the same mould or ‘last’ to make all their safety footwear, simply changing the colours and offering smaller sizes in their ranges targeted to women.

But women’s feet are, on average, very different to men’s.

Women’s feet tend to be narrower and usually have heels slimmer in relation to the width of the balls of their feet. A woman may also have a higher arch, a shallower big toe, a lower instep, a more curved inside line and an achilles tendon that is smaller and higher than a man’s might typically be.

And that’s not all.

Women and men even walk differently, with women tending to take more frequent, shorter strides and be more prone to pronating their feet (rolling them inwards) as they walk (something that wearing the right footwear can correct!).

The best women's safety trainers are those designed specifically for female feet.
