SAFETY BOOTS S3

Safety shoes and boots of the protection class S3 must remain watertight for at least 60 minutes to ensure safety. High-quality outer materials and the use of membranes offer reliable protection against the wet for our footwear. To ensure the minimum requirements are met, safety footwear needs to be waterproof and antistatic. Therefore wet and dirty boots require appropriate care to ensure safety.

Most of our footwear have a dryplexx functional membrane. To ensure that the membrane function remains intact in the long-term, these models need to be impregnated on a regular basis – ideally before they are worn for the first time! You can of course also impregnate shoes that do not have waterproof membranes. Whilst this does not make them waterproof, moisture does drip off more quickly.

The standard shoe care primarily depends on the outer material. Leather shoes should be brushed to remove coarse dirt and dust. All water and snow marks should also be removed as long as the shoes are still damp. We recommend applying our e.s. Dubbin to S3 safety shoes that are subject to heavy wear. It penetrates quickly into the leather to keep it supple and it has a water-repellent effect.

One important tip: Drying the safety boots is just as important as the correct cleaning and impregnation. Please never try to accelerate the drying process by placing your work shoes on radiators or stoves, as this is detrimental especially to leather shoes which will quickly become hard and brittle. Instead, stuff newspaper into the shoes. The moisture is then removed gently at a well-ventilated place at room temperature. A special shoe dryer is also a good alternative to dry shoes gently at 37 °C, for instance our Glove and Shoe Dryer Compact.

Our S3 boots are available in many sizes. We have a variety of safety boot models in sizes 37 to 50. For instance, the above-mentioned Okomu model is available from size 37 upwards making it also suitable for women. The following safety boots are available up to size 50.

Equipped with S3 all-round protection, toecap, puncture-resistant sole and pleasant lining, they are perfect for wearing on cold days.

Tipp: The perfect work boots should offer warmth AND climate comfort. A breathable lining and/or the use of membranes are decisive for a good feeling inside the shoes. However, breathable boots only work with functional socks. Cotton socks store the moisture. In contrast, functional socks transport the moisture outwards and away from the feet. This is the only way a pleasant foot climate can be achieved.
