Black Hammer 7788 Vortex Dial Fit Lace Safety Trainers
I recently bought the Black Hammer 7788 Vortex Dial Fit Lace Safety Trainers and I couldn’t be happier. From the first wear, they felt incredibly comfortable with no breaking-in needed. The dial fit system is a game changer—quick to adjust and gives a secure, snug fit every time.
They’re lightweight but still feel very durable and offer great protection for long days on your feet. The grip is excellent, even on slippery surfaces, and the overall design looks modern compared to typical safety footwear.
This was my first time ordering these, and I’m seriously impressed. Perfect for work—comfortable, reliable, and built to last. Highly recommend!

Good quality at keen price
About 2 tear ago I found black hammers website while searching for wworkboots at a reasonable price that actually worked, previously I had tried scruffs, caterpiller and other makes, ALL of them failed within a year and thats after paying over £50 a pair for them. So I bought 2 pair of boots, different styles, the pair i wear most has now almost died, so I looked them up again and purchased a pair for me and a pair for my wife (we work together), fully expecting these to last as well as the first ones, overall prices are good, quality is as good if not better than other brands and delivery is very quick.
