Finally! A Barefoot Steel Toe Safety Shoe That Actually Works: Real Review from an HGV Driver

'I’m thrilled to share this review of the Gaucho Ninja Sneaky Ninjas | Barefoot Safety Trainers, which my husband Damian, a full-time HGV driver and seasoned
barefooter, has been putting through their paces at work. Spoiler alert: they’re a total game-changer.'

'Would We Recommend Them?

Absolutely, yes — especially if you’re already used to barefoot shoes and are looking for work boots that don’t crush your feet or leave your back aching after a shift.

Damian’s been wearing barefoot footwear since 2019. This is the first time he’s felt genuinely excited about a pair of work shoes. They’ve made his job easier, his feet happier, and his return home more comfortable.

If you’re thinking:

Are barefoot safety shoes worth it?
Where can I find wide toe steel toe boots?
Is there such a thing as minimalist safety footwear?

Then this is the answer you’ve been waiting for.'

Review by Brittany from Barefoot Brit

All the way to Argentina

¡Che, loco! Let me tell you, these Sneaky Ninjas are something else.

Thank you very much for such an excellent product! 🙏🙌

I'm a freight forwarder (with a small van), in certain places they require safety shoes.

I found them extremely comfortable: you don't feel their weight so much, they leave room in the wide toe box for the free movement of the toes, and maintain flexibility when walking or bending down. Excellent quality of materials and finish, so I think that despite not being leather, they are made to last for a long time.

JOBS THAT REQUIRE SAFETY TOE CAPS WITH ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

When to armour your feet

Barefoot Safety Trainers with safety toe cap, and SD10-ESD are essential in many
industries to protect workers from potential hazards such as handling electronics, falling objects, sharp items, and slippery surfaces. Here is a list of jobs that typically require SD-10 safety footwear:

Warehouse Work

Food Processing

Logistics and Distribution Centers

Lorry Drivers

Cleanroom Environments

Maintenance and Repair

Laboratory Work (certain areas)

Retail and Wholesale

Electronics Manufacturing/Repair: Working with sensitive electronic components requires preventing static discharge that could damage them. The ESD rating is crucial here.

Microelectronics assembly: Similar to electronics manufacturing, this necessitates extreme precaution against electrostatic discharge.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Certain pharmaceutical processes are susceptible to static electricity that could contaminate products or ignite flammable materials.

Aerospace Manufacturing: The handling of sensitive electronics and flammable materials often necessitates the use of ESD-rated footwear.

Hospital Operating Rooms: ESD safety footwear may be required to prevent static discharge that could ignite flammable anesthetic gases.

Chemical Plants (some areas): While many chemical plant jobs require chemical-resistant boots primarily, areas with flammable or explosive materials would benefit from SD footwear to reduce the risk of static buildup leading to ignition.

Paint Spraying/Finishing: The presence of flammable solvents necessitates preventative measures against static spark ignition, making SD or ESD footwear relevant.

Powder Handling (some areas): In industries handling flammable powders, SD and potentially ESD properties could be needed. Again, this depends on the hazard assessment.

Fuel Handling/Storage Facilities: Areas involving flammable liquids or gases require stringent safety measures, including SD and/or ESD-rated footwear.

Great feel!!

I have been wearing barefoot shoes exclusively for a few years, but could never find a safety toed barefoot work shoe. Now I can say I will be a repeat customer! Unlike all my other barefoot shoes, these do require a short break in period, but once broken in, these are the most comfortable work shoes I’ve ever owned. Before purchasing, I wondered how a shoe could have a barefoot feel and still have the durability of a work shoe. I wondered no more. They are tough, and feel great. One day I even forgot to bring work socks so I had to work all day in my shoes with no socks. They felt good all day long. That would have been excruciating in my old work boots.

Just received shoes

I just received my shoes, so my opinion only about looks and not actual comfort. Shoes are made very well, nice stitching, quality materials used and overall very nice built. It took 3 moths to receive them, quite a while ;) luckily i have broken ankle, so i was not the rush to receive them :) i will come back after half of the year or so to update my experience with the shoes. I wonder thou, what is Nobuk exactly? Couldn't find any explanation.

Great quality and craftsmanship!

New kids on the block.

I was so happy to discover these shoes when I was online searching to see if there was another barefoot safety shoe on the market. I had been looking to replace me worn out Birkenstocks. I was chuffed to find these! They are a little expensive for a non leather shoe, but so far they seem to be worth the splurge. They are lighter than my current Birkenstock and have such a comfortable fit straight from the box.
I've worn them a couple of weeks now and I'm loving the flexibility and security they give me in my warehouse job. I recommend these shoes!

Barefoot steel toe cap

They took me about 4 days to break and now they are so comfy I can definitely tell the difference between wearing these and standard steel toe caps you can get from the high street . They are so much lighter than your regular steel toe caps.

Yes they are pricey but 100% worth it .

Will I go back to standard steel toe caps - no unless in a real emergency and I can't get a replacement pair of barefoot ones .

Would I recommend them - yes I would .
