FT20 – lightweight, flexible, and functional

The FT20 model has been designed for professionals who want lightweight footwear without compromising on safety or comfort. The seamless, knitted upper in elasticated textile moulds naturally to the shape of the foot, whilst the neoprene lining ensures a close yet comfortable fit. The sporty look makes the shoe well suited to production, logistics, and service roles alike.

The dual phylon/rubber sole combines low weight with effective energy absorption, reducing fatigue in the feet and legs – even after many hours of use on hard surfaces.

Materials and performance

The FT20 has been manufactured with a focus on comfort and functionality. The flyknit polyester upper provides high breathability and flexibility, whilst the EVA/rubber sole delivers a secure grip on slippery surfaces. The shoe is 100% metal-free, making it ideal for environments where metal scanning or electrical interference may be a concern.

The cushioned seat area and energy-absorbing heel provide additional support with every step. The shoe is CE certified and complies with the standard EN ISO 20347:2022 OB SR.

Practical and easy to maintain

A key practical advantage of the FT20 is its washable design – the shoe can be machine washed at 30°C, helping it retain its freshness and hygiene over time. The lined collar and soft insole provide extra comfort, whilst the elasticated lacing system ensures quick and easy on and off. This makes the FT20 an obvious choice for daily use in professional environments where both comfort and appearance matter.
