Slipbuster Vantrex Waterproof Safety Trainer Black

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Slipbuster Vantrex is a waterproof safety trainer built specifically for catering and hospitality environments. It is designed to meet the practical demands of kitchen and front-of-house work — long shifts, wet floors, and constant movement — rather than adapted from a general-purpose sports or work shoe.
In a working kitchen, flooring is routinely wet or greasy, particularly around prep areas, dishwash, and service stations. The slip-resistant outsole is constructed to maintain grip in those conditions, giving staff confident footing throughout service. The cushioned sole helps reduce fatigue over a full shift, which matters when teams are on their feet for eight or more hours without meaningful rest.
From a practical standpoint, the trainer offers several features that are well suited to catering use:
- Slip-resistant outsole rated for wet and greasy kitchen floors
- Splashproof construction resists water ingress during service
- Microfibre mesh upper with TPU overlay — durable and easy to wipe clean
- Breathable recycled airmesh lining helps manage foot temperature over long periods
- Clean black finish suitable for both back and front of house
The lace-up fit keeps the shoe securely in place during fast-paced service, and the low-profile trainer styling means it is equally practical for floor staff and counter roles where appearance matters alongside function.
Available in EU sizes 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 46 (UK 4, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5 and 11). Select your size from the drop-down menu.
If you are outfitting a team and need guidance on sizing, suitability across different kitchen roles, or volume pricing, the team is happy to help.
Frequently asked questions
Are these trainers suitable for both kitchen and front-of-house use?
Yes. The clean black finish and low-profile trainer styling make them practical for both environments. Back-of-house staff benefit from the slip resistance and waterproofing, while front-of-house teams get a presentable shoe that still offers the grip and comfort needed for long service periods.
How do these compare to traditional steel toe-cap safety boots for kitchen use?
The Vantrex is a safety trainer rather than a steel toe-cap boot, so it prioritises comfort, breathability, and all-day wearability for catering environments. It is well suited to general kitchen and hospitality roles. If your site requires formal toe protection or specific SRC-rated footwear for compliance reasons, it is worth checking your health and safety requirements before purchasing.
Which sizes is the Vantrex available in?
The Vantrex is available in EU sizes 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 46, which correspond to UK sizes 4, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5 and 11. If you are ordering footwear for a team, it is worth getting in touch, and we can advise on availability across the size range and discuss options for larger orders.
