Nursing trainers / occupational work shoes

Description

The 'Ela' Nurse Trainers are lace-up, ultra-comfortable occupational trainers designed specifically for nurses and other professionals who spend long periods on their feet. Produced within the Safety Jogger Professional (Oxypas) line and distributed by PLS Medical, these CE-marked trainers are EN ISO 20347 occupational footwear with anti-static (ESD) properties, SRC-rated OxyGrip slip resistance, an anatomic removable SJ Comfort memory-foam insole and an 'Air-unit' in the heel for optimal shock absorption. The wipe-clean upper with a printed mesh effect and breathable lining provides comfort, hygiene and compliance in hospital and clinical environments, as well as other workplaces where anti-slip, anti-static footwear is required.

Daily use by nurses, midwives, healthcare assistants and other hospital staff who spend extended periods on their feet
Occupational footwear for healthcare professionals in wards, theatres, outpatient clinics and care homes
Use in other professions requiring anti-slip, anti-static work footwear, such as hospitality, catering, cleaning and laboratory work
Situations where EN ISO 20347:2012-compliant occupational footwear with SRC slip resistance and ESD properties is required or recommended
Users seeking comfortable, shock-absorbing trainers with memory-foam insoles for anti-fatigue support during long shifts

Composition

Upper: Wipe-clean synthetic leather or coated material with printed mesh effect (solid, non-perforated for hygiene; exact polymer mix may vary by production batch)
Lining: Breathable textile mesh lining for improved ventilation and comfort
Insole: Anatomic, removable SJ Comfort memory-foam footbed (cushioned foam with textile top layer)
Midsole/heel: Integrated 'Air-unit' in heel zone to enhance shock absorption (encapsulated air cushion within midsole structure)
Outsole: OxyGrip / SJ Grip rubber or PU/rubber compound outsole designed to meet SRC slip resistance (SRA + SRB)
Anti-static components: Materials and construction designed to meet ESD/anti-static requirements under EN ISO 20347 occupational footwear standard

Footbed: Anatomic removable SJ Comfort insole with memory foam for comfort and support
Cushioning: Integrated 'Air-unit' in heel for enhanced energy absorption and shock reduction
Slip resistance: OxyGrip / SJ Grip sole technology designed to provide high-level SRC slip resistance on ceramic and steel surfaces
Anti-static / ESD: Construction designed to dissipate electrostatic charge in line with ESD standards for occupational footwear
Colours: Typically available in White with Fuchsia, Light Blue, Light Grey or Lilac details (colour range may vary by distributor)
Sizes: Generally EU 35–42 (approx. UK 3–8) depending on retailer and stocking

Packaging

Supplied as a pair of 'Ela' Nurse Trainers in the selected size and colour
Packaged in branded professional footwear shoe box or equivalent packaging (varies by distributor)
Product labelling typically includes size, colour, EN ISO 20347 standard markings, CE marking and manufacturer/distributor identification
May include leaflet or printed information regarding footwear standards, care instructions and size/fit guidance (varies between retailers)

Usage

Select the correct size using the supplied or online size guide (usually EU sizes with UK equivalents provided); ensure adequate toe room and secure heel fit.
Lace the trainers securely so that the foot is held comfortably but firmly, avoiding overly tight lacing that may impede circulation.
Use as occupational footwear in hospital, clinic or other professional environments where anti-slip and anti-static footwear is recommended or required.
Introduce gradually if necessary; wear for short periods initially to allow the foot and gait to adapt to the new insole and cushioning, especially if transitioning from very different footwear.
Keep uppers clean by wiping regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent if required; avoid harsh chemicals or bleach that could damage materials.
Allow shoes to dry naturally at room temperature away from direct heat sources (radiators, heaters or intense sunlight) to preserve materials and adhesives.
Remove the anatomic SJ Comfort insole periodically to air and, if appropriate, gently wipe according to manufacturer/distributor care advice.
Inspect outsole regularly for signs of excessive wear or damage that could compromise slip resistance; replace footwear when tread is significantly worn or cushioning feels degraded.
Do not modify the footwear (e.g., by drilling holes, removing structural elements or adding non-approved components) as this may reduce performance and invalidate EN/CE compliance.
Use only for occupational and everyday walking activities; these trainers do not include a safety toe cap and are not suitable where protective toecap footwear to EN ISO 20345 is required.

Contraindications

Not suitable for workplaces that legally require safety footwear with protective toecaps compliant with EN ISO 20345 (these are occupational O1 shoes without safety toe protection).
May be unsuitable for individuals with specific foot or gait conditions requiring bespoke orthopaedic footwear or custom-made insoles, unless used under guidance from a podiatrist or clinician.
Users with known allergies or sensitivities to synthetic leathers, rubbers, adhesives or textile materials used in occupational footwear should check material compatibility or consult a healthcare professional before use.
Not recommended for environments where open footwear, non-closed uppers or alternative safety classifications are required by local policy or health and safety regulations.
Any local infection, severe swelling or open wounds on the feet may require temporary avoidance of closed footwear or medical advice before prolonged use.

Adverse Effects

As with any closed work footwear, possible development of pressure areas, blisters, rubbing or callus formation if size or fit is inappropriate or socks are insufficiently cushioned.
Potential foot fatigue, arch discomfort or knee/hip/back discomfort if shoes are excessively worn, incorrectly laced or used with inadequate sizing.
Increased perspiration or odour if worn for long hours without adequate sock changes, airing or hygiene measures.
In rare cases, contact dermatitis or irritation in users sensitive to specific materials, adhesives or finishes used in the upper, lining or insole.
Reduced slip resistance and increased risk of slips and falls if outsoles become heavily worn, contaminated with oils/greases or not cleaned appropriately.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Allow shoes to dry fully between shifts, especially if they have become damp, to maintain material integrity and hygiene.
Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat sources (radiators, heaters, hot vehicles) which may deform soles or degrade adhesives.
Keep away from corrosive chemicals, oils or solvents that could damage the outsole or upper.
Store in original box or on a shoe rack to help maintain shape and protect from dust when not in regular use.

Duration

Not applicable as a medical treatment; in normal occupational use, a pair will typically provide effective comfort and slip resistance for many months of regular wear, but replacement intervals depend on user weight, activity level, working environment and outsole wear.

Onset

Comfort, cushioning and slip-resistance benefits are experienced immediately upon wearing, with full anti-fatigue benefit realised over the course of extended shifts once the memory-foam insole has conformed to the wearer\u2019s foot.
