Product Overview
The Bob S3 ESD SRC represents a pinnacle of safety footwear engineering within the Base Record collection. This low-profile safety shoe is designed for those who require rigorous protection without sacrificing the comfort needed for long shifts on their feet. Finished in a clean white, it meets the stringent S3 safety standard, providing water resistance and puncture protection alongside its sophisticated electrostatic discharge (ESD) capabilities. It is a technical tool for the modern workplace, balancing lightweight construction with heavy-duty safety requirements.
Key Features
- SlimCap Toe-Cap: The 200-joule resistant SlimCap offers essential impact protection with a reduced thickness, ensuring your toes remain safe without the bulky silhouette of traditional safety boots.
- Fresh’n Flex Midsole: This puncture-resistant sole insert protects the foot from sharp objects underfoot while remaining flexible enough to support natural movement.
- SmellStop Lining: An antibacterial and anti-odour treatment is integrated into the lining to prevent the growth of bacteria, keeping the interior hygienic and fresh throughout the working day.
- AirTech + Tpu-Skin Outsole: This patented technology creates a thinner, more flexible outsole that provides exceptional cushioning and anti-fatigue properties, reducing strain on the legs and back.
- ESD Certification: Specifically designed to protect electronic devices from electrostatic discharges, making these shoes indispensable in sensitive technical environments.
- Metal-Detector Friendly: Completely non-magnetic and free from nickel and ferrous materials, allowing for seamless movement through security checkpoints.
Design & Performance
The Bob S3 is engineered around the AirTech and Tpu-Skin system. By reducing the thickness of the outsole, the shoe achieves a lightweight feel that belies its S3 rating. The result is a shoe that behaves more like a technical trainer but performs like a piece of heavy-duty PPE. The white upper is not only water-resistant to prevent penetration in damp conditions but is also designed to be easily maintained.
Performance is further enhanced by the heel's shock absorption, which works in tandem with the anti-fatigue sole to dissipate energy during walking. This significantly reduces the physical toll on the wearer when working on hard industrial floors. The shoe is also hydrocarbons resistant, ensuring the sole remains stable and durable even when in contact with oils and fuels.
Why No Customisation?
We provide the Bob S3 ESD SRC as a finished safety product without customisation options. Adding embroidery or heat-applied transfers to the upper of a safety shoe can compromise the integrity of its S3 water-resistant membrane or interfere with the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) pathways. To ensure you remain fully compliant with safety regulations and that the shoe performs exactly as the manufacturer intended, we supply these items in their original, high-performance state.
Use Cases
Given its white finish and ESD certification, the Bob S3 is ideally suited for cleanrooms, laboratory environments, and electronics manufacturing facilities where static control is paramount. It is also an excellent choice for the food industry or healthcare sectors where hygiene and water resistance are daily requirements. The non-magnetic construction also makes it a sensible choice for professionals working in environments with frequent security screenings.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the type of socks you will be wearing. For ESD shoes to function correctly, we recommend using ESD-compatible socks to ensure a clear path for static dissipation. If you require orthopaedic support, the Bob S3 is compatible with made-to-measure footbeds complying with European DGUV112-191 norms. For those working between different departments, the metal-detector-friendly design means you won't have to remove your shoes at every security gate.
Caring for your product
To maintain the S3 water resistance and the aesthetic of the white upper, regular cleaning is essential. We recommend wiping the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allowing dirt to build up can eventually degrade the material and compromise the shoe's professional appearance.
Never dry these shoes on a direct heat source such as a radiator. Excessive heat can cause the technical materials in the midsole and the Tpu-Skin outsole to become brittle or warp, which will significantly reduce the lifespan of the anti-fatigue technology.
The SmellStop lining is designed to be self-managing, but ensuring the shoes are allowed to air out in a well-ventilated space between shifts will maximise the antibacterial effectiveness. Proper care ensures that the safety standards—and your comfort—are maintained for as long as possible.
