V12 Footwear
Certain jobs demand more than your average shoe or boot. Like heavy-duty footwear that's tough, safe and can handle changing conditions and challenges.
At V12 we're always researching new materials, testing new technologies and embracing modern design to deliver footwear that is up to the job. From lightweight, composite, anti-fatigue day-long comfort to waterproof rigger boots with unique ankle protection - all our products are designed with the wearer in mind. Because when you've got a full-on job to do, you need full strength footwear.
Our wearers are hard grafters. Workers who keep the world turning, using physical strength, determination and ingenuity to build, make, farm, fix and maintain every day. From oil platforms to railway tracks, construction sites and farms, our wearers work in some of the toughest most unpredictable environments. And for them, strong and safe footwear is essential, not optional.
Our process involves working closely with wearers to understand the functionality of our shoes. Like how long they are worn for, what features would improve wear – basically how the shoe 'lives'. Once we've generated a design that fulfills all these things, we scour the globe for the best possible materials. Then we test our prototypes to breaking point by crushing, stretching and pummeling every part of every new design. We consult with a panel of wearers to find out if anything else can be added. And once we've got the thumbs up we go into production, using state of the art manufacturing processes to make comfortable, reliable shoes that guarantee wearer satisfaction.
The details built into our boots demonstrate our years of experience in footwear design. Like the carefully thought out unique shape that is designed to support, or the replaceable shock-absorbent footbed which cradles the foot. We of course allow just the right amount of room inside for movement and the steel or nylon Shank ensures flex always occurs at the ball of the foot. We triple stitch our uppers, which are made of either full grain leather or technical meshes to allow breathability. Our composite toecaps are as tough as steel but not as heavy. And a cushioned midlayer absorbs shock and keeps you springy whilst a steel or ballistic fibre midsole stops sharp objects piercing through. They may seem like small measures, but at work, they make a big difference

Love these shoe protectors but you need to go up at least 2 sizes when buying them to go over a decent boot or safety trainer I bought the size 10 for my size 9 safety trainers and there is no way they are going to fit shame I can use them with ordinary trainers if just serving so limited danger but no good for proper work days beawear to get them BG enough

My V12 dealer boots(the stampede module) have lasted me a year now and are still going strong with only minor signs of wear. Regular treatment with a homeade mix of bees wax and mineral oil have left the leather a much darker shade but still as sturdy yet supple as the high quality leather was in its first week. These boots have lasted much longer than any other boot I've ever owned, they fit me well, are easy to get in and out of and are incredibly comfortable for a reinforced boot. Well worth the money!

V12 boot covers are the dogs danglies. It protects your customers floor coverings perfectly. If you get some double check the size will fit your boots. You wont regret getting a pair and you can throw them in the wash when dirty.

Mukguard overshoes are excellent. Was using disposable before and hated throwing plastic away after use. Environmentally friendly and a good fit. Looks impressive to customers when you slip em on.

Great boots, got several pairs. The comfort is brilliant. 10 hour shift on your feet all day and no issues. Would recommend upgrading to the arch support footbeds they do too, absolutely fantastic. The mukguard overshoe is excellent too. I have two pairs, one to keep my floors clean and another to slip over my shoes to keep them clean when going to get the logs for the fire!! :)

Top of the range work boots for the professional tradesman. Brilliant protection all round. Made from top quality materials and fit superbly. I’ve worn these summer and winter outside and in occupied offices with no problems, a very smart looking boot are hard to beat.

I have used these boots for years now and the only thing I would recommend is a descent pair of ineersoles to go in them, then they are pretty perfect due another pair now, but they have lasted and taken plenty of abuse

They make good hard wearing boot. My boss loves them but I haven't been completely sold yet. I don't like the slip on boots as I'd prefer more ankle support but each to their own on that one.

Waterproof, warm and supremely comfortable. Not the cheapest boots but worth every penny. Will definitely be replacing with the same again if they ever fail.

Specifically purchased for the higher leg hight and the side zips for improved access, they are comfortable to wear and not overly heavy when compared to other boots of this type , I did find that as a consequence of my job I spend a s o significant time kneeling goes to floor and this wore through the outer toe layer quite quickly but as the toe protecter are composite and not metallic this wasn't to much of an issue other than visually and did not impeded the water resistance I still have dry feet.

Have been wearing v12 boots for over a year and they are very comfortable sturdy boots. Took abit of breaking in and a couple of blisters but definitely worth it for the amount of protection

I've been wearing V12 boots for a year now after wearing DeWalt and Dickies in the past. I must say they're the most comfortable workboots I have owned.

Great comfy boots a little bit pricey for some people but I think we’ll worth the money. Think your in them for 7 hours or more a day work so well not be comfortable

The V12 range is decent quality and fits reasonably well. I’m size 11 in trainers and normal siZe 10 in boots but the 11’s in the V12 range fits better. Personally I’d rather have the safety trainers than then boots but both fitted well with thicker socks.

I'm on my second pair of V12 footwear. I get the trainers and find them very comfortable and long lasting. I must admit that I have not paid full price for either pair, got them on offer at Toolstation, so they were excellent value.
