Product Overview
The Argo S2 SRC is a meticulously engineered piece of safety footwear, specifically designed for the demanding requirements of the hygiene and food processing industries. Part of our dedicated Hygiene collection, this white ankle shoe balances professional appearance with robust industrial protection. It is constructed to meet the EN ISO 20345: 2011 S2 (SRC) standard, ensuring that safety is at the forefront of its design while maintaining the comfort necessary for staff who spend the majority of their day on their feet.
Key Features
Integrated Steel Toe Cap: Provides 200 joules of resistance against impact and compression, safeguarding the wearer from heavy objects and machinery hazards.
Water-Resistant Upper: The upper material is designed to prevent water penetration, ensuring feet remain dry and comfortable in damp environments.
SmellStop Antibacterial Lining: An advanced lining treatment that actively prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi, reducing unpleasant odours and maintaining internal hygiene.
AirTech Antifatigue Technology: Both the upper and outsole incorporate antifatigue properties to reduce the strain on the wearer’s legs and joints during long shifts.
SRC Rated Slip Resistance: Tested for maximum slip resistance on both ceramic and steel surfaces, providing essential stability in high-risk zones.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Argo S2 SRC is centred around its Antifatigue AirTech outsole. This technology is designed to offer superior shock absorption in the heel region, which is vital for reducing musculoskeletal fatigue when walking on hard industrial floors. Despite its substantial and sturdy build, the footwear is engineered to remain flexible, allowing for natural movement.
The white finish is not merely aesthetic; it is a practical requirement for the hygiene sector, allowing for easy visual inspection of cleanliness. The material is resistant to hydrocarbons, meaning the integrity of the sole will not degrade when in contact with oils or fuels, ensuring a longer lifespan for the product in diverse work environments.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Argo S2 SRC footwear. This is a critical safety decision; adding embroidery or heat-applied transfers could compromise the integrity of the water-resistant upper or breach the structural safety standards of the shoe. To ensure you remain fully compliant with EN ISO 20345 safety regulations, these shoes are supplied in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
This footwear is ideally suited for professionals working in food manufacturing, catering, medical laboratories, and pharmaceutical environments. Its easy-to-clean surface and antibacterial properties make it a staple for any workplace where hygiene protocols are strictly enforced. The dual-fit design accommodates both men’s and women’s width requirements, making it a versatile choice for entire teams.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the type of socks your staff typically wear, as thermal or moisture-wicking work socks can slightly affect the fit. Given that this model offers both men’s and women’s widths, ensure you select the correct profile to maximise the antifatigue benefits and prevent unnecessary foot movement within the shoe.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high standards of slip resistance and hygiene, regular maintenance is essential. We recommend cleaning the outsoles after every shift to remove any debris or grease that may have accumulated, as this can impede the SRC-rated grip and lead to avoidable workplace slips.
When the uppers become soiled, they should be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. It is imperative to let the shoes dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing them directly against radiators or heat sources, as excessive heat can cause the materials to become brittle and crack, effectively ending the life of your safety footwear.
