5 minute read
When you’re shopping for safety boots, you’ll want to put safety first, then comfort, then style.
But who said you can’t have all three?!
Introducing the ROKWEAR® Graphite
Designed for teams who spend long days on their feet, they’re waterproof, flexible, and built for all-day comfort and protection.
In fact, they’re so lightweight, you’ll forget they’re on!
WHY YOUR TEAM WILL LOVE THE GRAPHITE
The Graphite delivers on comfort, durability, functionality, and style - all without compromising on safety.
Ideal for sectors ranging from Waste & Environmental, to the Public Sector, here are some key highlights that your team will be sure to love.
WATERPROOF
Say goodbye to damp feet!
The best safety boots will keep your feet dry all day, no matter the conditions. And you can rely on the Graphite to do just that, without sacrificing breathability.
LIGHTWEIGHT
Your boots don’t have to be heavy to be safe!
The Graphite boots are so lightweight that your team will forget they’re wearing them.
In fact, these are ROKWEAR®’s lightest safety boots to date (and the lightest in the SMI shop!) – helping to reduce fatigue over a long shift and allowing your team to move naturally and comfortably all day long.
FLEXIBLE
No more yearning to slip your safety footwear off at the end of a long day.
ROKWEAR®’s latest creation offers outstanding flexibility so your team can maintain natural movement and freedom of motion.
This reduces strain and helps your team to feel and perform at their best from the start of their shift until the end.
VEGAN FRIENDLY
The planet will love the Graphite just as much as you will.
Part of our eco-friendly safety footwear range, they’re made from ethical, sustainable materials and are completely vegan-friendly.
So, they’re the perfect choice for environmentally-conscious businesses and teams.
BREATHABLE
Think waterproof boots can’t be breathable? Think again!
The ROKWEAR® Graphite safety boots boast a waterproof and breathable DRY-PROOF® membrane.
Made to release heat and moisture so they can keep feet cool all day long, they offer optimal comfort during long shifts or in warmer conditions.
BUILT TO LAST
Every element of the ROKWEAR® Graphite safety boots has been carefully thought through and designed to ensure high-performance and long-lasting safety and comfort.
Take a look at the product datasheet for more info, and read on for the lowdown on key technical features.
METAL-FREE DESIGN
These forward-thinking safety boots feature a completely metal-free design.
Not only does this make them ideal for metal-sensitive work sites like airports and factories, but it also makes them up to 10% lighter than comparable steel alternatives.
200 J COMPOSITE TOE CAP
Instead of steel toe caps, the Graphite boasts composite toe caps.
This allows them to meet EN ISO 20345 safety standards for toe impact protection, without giving teams extra weight to carry – meaning they’re comfortable over even the longest shifts.
KEVLAR MIDSOLE
A Kevlar Advance penetration-resistant insert is the perfect alternative to traditional steel midsoles.
Protect your feet from sharp objects while benefiting from unrivalled flexibility and far less weight to carry.
CLEATED SOLE AND GRIP
The Graphite’s deep, cleated soles aren’t just there for show.
Instead, they provide excellent slip resistance on both wet and uneven surfaces – as well as absorbing energy for fatigue reduction during long days.
ANKLE CUSHIONING AND PADDED COLLAR
Enjoy optimal ankle support and comfort.
A TPU stability system reduces strain on your ankles and Achilles, supports natural movement, and provides a comfortable fit for long shifts with lots of walking.

Wave goodbye to your old steel toe cap boots (hopefully as they go off in one of our SMI recycling boxes), and say hello to your new lighter, more flexible (but equally safe!) alternative.

Frequently asked questions
What is a composite toe cap?
A composite toe cap is a toe cap used in safety footwear that’s made from materials like carbon fibre, fibreglass, plastic, and Kevlar.
Composite toe caps offer similar impact protection to metal toe caps (like ones made of steel). But they’re lighter, non-conductive, and often seen as more comfortable.
Where to buy lightweight safety boots?
You can buy lightweight safety boots right here at SMI. Our range of safety boots includes several lightweight options, as well as the new ROKWEAR® Graphite – our lightest safety boots yet!
What is the difference between a Kevlar midsole and a steel midsole?
Both Kevlar midsoles and steel midsoles protect your feet from sharp objects. However, a Kevlar midsole is more flexible and lightweight. It’s also metal-free, making it ideal for metal-sensitive work sites like airports and factories.
