Industrial Strength. Engineered for Broader Feet.
The Caterpillar Elmore is designed for the high-speed worker who needs the protection of a boot with the weight and flexibility of a running shoe. Built on a specialist Wide Fit last, the Elmore eliminates the pinching and toe-rubbing common in standard safety trainers, making it the premier choice for 10,000-step shifts in logistics and warehousing.
Certified to EN ISO 20345:2022 S1P, this trainer is a powerhouse of hidden tech. It features a heavy-duty Steel Toe Cap and a Puncture-Resistant Midsole, providing 360-degree protection against falling objects and underfoot hazards. With an HRO-rated outsole that handles heat up to 300°C, the Elmore is as comfortable in a high-heat factory as it is on a fast-paced delivery route.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does wide-fit mean and who should choose this trainer?
Wide-fit safety footwear is specifically designed for workers with broader feet, providing extra room throughout the trainer to prevent discomfort, pinching, and pressure points. The Caterpillar Elmore is ideal for workers who find standard safety trainers too narrow, those with bunions, or anyone who prefers additional space in their work footwear for all-day comfort. The wide-fit design provides generous room in the toe box and midfoot area while maintaining a secure heel fit, ensuring comfort during extended shifts in fast-paced environments without compromising the sporty flexibility and lightweight feel of a safety trainer.
What does S1P HRO SRC rating mean?
The S1P HRO SRC rating under EN ISO 20345:2011 provides comprehensive protection for indoor work environments. S1P includes steel toe cap tested to 200 Joules impact resistance, penetration resistant midsole to protect against sharp objects, antistatic properties, energy absorbing heel, and enclosed heel design. HRO adds heat resistance up to 300°C for contact with hot surfaces. SRC indicates the highest level of slip resistance, passing tests on both wet ceramic tile with cleaning agent (SRA) and steel with glycerol (SRB). This makes the Elmore suitable for warehousing, logistics, light industrial facilities, and indoor manufacturing environments with multiple hazards.
What is the difference between a safety trainer and a safety boot?
A safety trainer like the Caterpillar Elmore features a low-cut athletic design similar to sports shoes, providing greater flexibility, lighter weight, and enhanced breathability compared to traditional safety boots. Safety trainers are ideal for indoor environments, warehousing, logistics, and light industrial work where ankle protection is less critical and workers prioritise agility, comfort, and reduced fatigue during fast-paced activities. Safety boots offer more ankle support and protection, making them better for outdoor work, construction sites, and rugged terrain. The Elmore combines certified safety protection with the comfort and flexibility of athletic footwear, perfect for workers who spend long hours on warehouse floors or in manufacturing facilities.
Does the Caterpillar Elmore run true to size?
Yes, the Caterpillar Elmore fits true to size in the wide-fit specification. We recommend ordering your regular UK shoe size. The wide-fit design provides extra room throughout the trainer, particularly in the toe box and midfoot areas, while maintaining a secure fit at the heel for stability during quick movements. The composite toe cap provides a more spacious toe box compared to steel toe trainers, enhancing comfort without compromising protection. Customer feedback consistently reports the Elmore is comfortable straight out of the box with minimal break-in period required. If you wear thick work socks or have exceptionally broad feet, you may consider ordering a half size up for additional comfort.
Is the Caterpillar Elmore suitable for outdoor work?
The Caterpillar Elmore is primarily designed for indoor work environments and is not waterproof or weather-resistant. The breathable upper materials that keep feet cool indoors are not suitable for wet conditions, rain, or prolonged outdoor exposure. The trainer excels in warehousing, logistics, light industrial facilities, manufacturing floors, and indoor work environments where protection from overhead hazards, penetration resistance, heat resistance, and slip resistance are required. For outdoor work, construction sites, or wet conditions, consider waterproof safety boots with higher protection ratings such as S3 or S7. The Elmore is the perfect choice for workers who spend their entire shift indoors and want the comfort and agility of athletic footwear with certified safety protection.
