Dr. Martens puts best foot forward by launching women’s collection

  Posted by: electime      6th February 2018

The iconic British footwear brand, Dr. Martens, has launched a women’s industrial collection, offering female workers a wider range of boots – something that was previously not so widely available to them.

The number of women working in construction, engineering and manufacturing -heavily male-dominated industries ­­- is on the up and the safety equipment available hasn’t been designed with this in mind, leading to women wearing inadequate footwear.

A survey by Trades Union Congress hammers home these facts as it’s revealed only 29 per cent of women wear Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) specifically designed for them, whilst 57 per cent said they were wearing PPE but it was uncomfortable, unfitted, hazardous and prevents them from safely doing their job.

Dr. Martens new Women’s collection gives women a choice of protection, style and colour and includes the following styles: Maple – a steel-toe work boot in soft leather and heat-sealed uppers with a padded tongue. This also comes with a SoftWair sock liner that ensures extra cushioning for the heel. Also available to female workers is the Arbor – a classic Chelsea work boot with a PVC outsole that is durable, as well as a grid pattern in the heel that promotes underfoot airflow to keep feet dry.

The collection is available in UK sizes 3-9 and is available online now: : http://www.drmartens.com/uk/c/industrial-womens
