Safety footwear enables women to move from office to site

From site managers and engineers to architects, logistics coordinators, production supervisors and facilities teams, uvex 1 x-cite offers a sharp, modern look that complements uniforms and office clothing while delivering the protection required on the shop floor.

The uvex 1 x-cite collection proves there is no need to compromise on style when it comes to safety. Designed to transition effortlessly from office to site, it combines a smart, contemporary design with trusted protective features. The sleek, professional look pairs naturally with both uniforms and modern business attire, allowing wearers to maintain a polished image without sacrificing safety.

Every element has been shaped with women in mind. Built on a true female last, the shoes provide a refined fit and tailored silhouette, available in sizes 2–10 with multiple width options to ensure inclusivity. Discreet safety features include a lightweight, metal-free carbon-fibre toecap and flexible anti-penetration midsole, which together reduce weight, increase flexibility and help minimise fatigue during long shifts.

The design strikes the perfect balance between edgy, chunky styling and all-day WEARABILITY. Certified slip-resistant and ESD-compliant, uvex 1 x-cite delivers protection that meets the demands of modern workplaces while maintaining a fashionable, versatile aesthetic. 

The range has already earned recognition, winning the 2025 German Design Award and Red Dot Product Design Award for its elegant styling and comfort.

Available in a choice of low-cut shoes, Chelsea boots and high-cut boots, uvex 1 x-cite provides versatile options to suit different tastes and professional roles. 

“Women shouldn’t have to choose between safety, comfort and style,” says Clair Weston, Head of Marketing at uvex. “With uvex 1 x-cite, we developed footwear on a female last, reduced weight and created a contemporary silhouette that allows professionals to go from the office to the site without interruption.”
