The Acquisition International (AI) Global Excellence Awards recently named V12 Footwear as 2017's ‘Most Innovative Safety Footwear & Accessories Supplier - UK’.
As well as being extremely honoured by this recognition, this award highlights our recent product developments and the introduction of the IGSTM and STSTM sole units. As we review 2017, there are a number of key achievements that have contributed towards this accolade. Here are just a few.
Intelligent grip system (IGS)
Like tyres, the soles of our shoes are our only contact with the ground. They need to provide excellent grip and traction to prevent us from slipping over. That's why we have been inspired by tyre technology to create our most innovative and slip-resistant sole to date: the Intelligent Grip System. Find out more...
stability traction system (STS)
Everyone knows that their safety footwear has to provide good slip resistance, but what many people don't realise is that the best sole for one environment might not be right for another. That's why we have developed the Stability Traction System (STS) sole, not to rival the IGS, but to provide superior traction on loose and uneven natural surfaces, while the IGS benefits the wearer on flatter/smoother man-made surfaces.

THE Keymark
The EU Keymark stands for consistent, proven safety.
It ensures regular independent testing during production, so that every boot that comes off the line meets assured safety standards. No other safety footwear brand comes with the Keymark accreditation.
Women's Range
On 12 July, in association with the Women’s Engineering Society, V12 Footwear hosted a Knowledge Sharing Event to discuss Women’s PPE. The event was attended by representatives from Transport for London, Skanska, Rolls Royce and Petronius among others.
The event coincided with the release of V12 Footwear’s new Women’s safety footwear range – an initiative V12 had been working on with Transport for London over a two year period. Designed for and perfectly fitted to the female foot shape, V12 aims to alleviate the problems that women are still experiencing with their work wear. Find out more...
