Puma Safety Footwear

Questions people ask

Are Puma safety trainers S3?

Some are. The Airtwist Low, Rio Low and Velocity 2.0 are rated S3, the Zoom Low is S3S and the Frontcourt is S3L. Lighter styles such as the Blaze Knit, Elevate Knit, Xelerate Knit and Charge Low are S1, for dry indoor work. Each product page states the rating.

Do Puma safety shoes have a steel or composite toe?

Most of the range uses a fibreglass composite toe cap, which keeps the shoe light. The Rio and Amsterdam use an aluminium cap, and a few styles, including the Condor Mid, Celerity Knit and Fuse Tech, use steel. The toe cap is listed on each product page.

Does Puma make safety boots?

Yes. Alongside the trainers we list Puma Safety mid-cut boots, including the Rio Mid, Zoom Mid, Velocity 2.0 Mid, Condor Mid, Cascades Mid and the taller Conquest, rated from S3 to S7S.

Are Puma safety shoes ESD rated?

Several are. Puma lists ESD on the Velocity 2.0, Airtwist Low, Xcite Low, Elevate Knit, Condor Mid and the Zoom Low and Mid. If you work around sensitive electronics, check for ESD on the product page rather than relying on the antistatic rating alone.

Are Puma Safety boots VAT-free?

Qualifying safety boots bought by an individual for their own work use are zero-rated for VAT in the UK. Where a Puma Safety boot is eligible we apply it automatically, so the price shown is the price you pay. Safety trainers and shoes carry VAT at 20%, included in the price shown.
