Next generation work shoes
Monitor is pioneering the next generation of work shoes by creating new solutions for the right purpose. We offer innovative hybrid shoes that have the quality and function of a safety shoe but look and feel like a sports or outdoor shoe.
Style is just as important as function, and at Monitor we place great emphasis on the visual identity of our shoes. We use carefully selected materials and quality craftsmanship to ensure that our shoes can withstand the rigors of the work environment.
We develop the most comfortable work shoes
Constantly improving our footwear to meet users’ demands for lasting comfort is at the heart of Monitor. Monitor is also built on innovative product development, solid protection, modern design and high quality. We rely on our long experience to develop the next model. Together with a deep knowledge of foot anatomy and advanced production techniques, it forms the basis of our quest for even more comfortable shoes.
Modern design
We like to say that design is an area where we think differently and stand out. We want users to both feel and think that Monitor is functional as protective footwear but feels and looks like sports footwear. Sport inspires us today, but as we constantly strive to innovate, it might be something different tomorrow.
Safety shoes for a safer and smarter workday
Experience the next generation of safety shoes. ICE Evolution from Monitor is a series of ultimate safety shoes designed to provide maximum comfort and protection. The shoes are equipped with an NFC chip from Quin, which can store important information such as the wearer’s blood type and emergency contact details. With an independent mobile phone, the chip in the shoe can be scanned if it becomes necessary to contact relatives or provide life-saving information to emergency services in the event of a workplace accident.
The ICE Evolution series offers four models – Vibe S1PS, Flow S7S, Vision S7S, and Flow S7S Connected – all featuring the
unique Monitor Return sole system, delivering superior shock absorption and energy return (read more below). The shoes also include Monitor’s new Equip Fit design, which ensures optimal comfort and reduces the risk of chafing. Innovative closure systems like the BOA® Fit System provide a fast and precise fit.
The uppers range from durable microfiber to breathable mesh, while the HDry Bio membrane in selected models ensures full waterproofing. Premium details such as APT Textile nail protection and MNTR1 toe caps make the shoes both safe and long-lasting.

M-Return system
The Monitor M-Return is an innovative sole system that takes comfort and energy return to the next level. By moving the soft puncture protection lower in the shoe, the entire midsole can work freely – providing maximum cushioning and energy feedback with every step.
• Insole in Super Critical Foam (SCF): Soft and comfortable support directly under the foot.
• Soft MTPU pad & SCF midsole: Extra shock absorption and energy return with every movement.
• PU stability cushion in the heel: Ensures stable and balanced steps without losing softness in the forefoot.
• Nylon12-plate: Enhances stability and provides a naturally smoother bending angle for better comfort when kneeling.
The result is a shoe that combines softness, stability, and durability – perfect for long workdays on hard surfaces.

Freebird Series with Sound by Harman Kardon
Introducing the new and upgraded Freebird series, developed in collaboration with Harman Kardon, setting a new benchmark for audio performance in high-noise environments.
By combining Harman Kardon’s premium hardware with advanced audio algorithms, the upgraded Freebird series delivers a studio-level sound experience like never before. For the first time, truly immersive, high-fidelity audio is made possible even in the loudest industrial settings. Enjoy the music just as the artist once envisioned!
MIPS Safety System in the Helmet
Increasing safety and comfort at the same time is a huge challenge - but the Armet range, which is the world’s first safety helmet equipped with the MIPS safety system, is considered by many to be the most comfortable safety helmet on the market. The MIPS safety system is designed to help reduce the rotational movements of the head that occur during certain impacts, thus reducing brain damage. MIPS was developed with the help of Swedish researchers at Karolinska Institutet and KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
Equipped with
Twiceme
Innovation and science are what guide us. The goal was therefore to invest in technology and solutions and to combine it in a seamless way that results in the next generation of safety helmets. That’s how we finally came up with Twiceme, a digital tool integrated into the safety helmet. Twiceme allows you to easily access vital information in emergencies: next of kin, allergies, medications and more become available by scanning with your smartphone.
Experience complete freedom of movement at work

Workwear that delivers on its promise
For us, it’s important that work clothes last in tough conditions and look good. At Top Swede, we want you to feel good both when you work in our clothes and when you wear them.
Of course, the range also complies with standards, protection classifications and has the right certifications. Both those required by laws and regulations, but also more that we think should be obvious.
Our focus is on you
All materials in our garments are carefully selected and together with product testers from different professional groups, we develop clothes with a focus on what is important, the users. This means that every detail has a clear function and benefit for the user.
From product development to manufacturing, through to distribution and support, we set the highest standards of quality from the users’ perspective. To ensure that you get the right quality, fit, comfort and, not least, design, we not only carry out checks, measures and follow-up throughout the chain, we also protect the rights and safety of those who sew the clothes, and minimize our environmental impact. The UN Global Compact and the EU REACH regulation for chemicals are two examples that guide us.
