Product Overview
The Camel Top S3 HRO CI HI SRC is a flagship offering from the Platinum collection, engineered for those who require more than just a standard safety boot. This ankle boot is constructed with a robust honey-coloured leather that balances professional aesthetics with industrial-grade resilience. Adhering to the UNI EN ISO 20345:2012 standards, it represents a significant investment in personal safety and workplace performance.
Key Features
- Water Resistant Upper: The high-quality leather provides a barrier against moisture, ensuring your feet remain dry and comfortable even when working in damp or unpredictable conditions.
- 200 Joules Resistant Toe-cap: This integrated protection is designed to shield the foot from heavy falling objects and compression, a critical safety requirement for high-risk environments.
- Puncture Resistant Sole: A reinforced mid-sole prevents sharp objects like nails or shards from penetrating the boot, protecting the sole of the foot from injury.
- Heat Resistant Outsole (HRO): The sole is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 300°C for one minute, making it suitable for hot surfaces and asphalt work.
- Thermal Insulation (CI & HI): These boots are tested for both cold insulation (down to -17°C) and heat insulation (up to 150°C), maintaining a stable internal temperature regardless of the external climate.
- Shock Absorption: The heel region is engineered to absorb impact energy, reducing fatigue on the joints during long shifts on hard standing.
Design & Performance
Designed with a specific men’s width, the Camel Top offers a substantial and sturdy feel without compromising on the flexibility required for active movement. The leather is not only water-resistant but also resistant to hydrocarbons, ensuring the material does not degrade when exposed to oils or fuels. The SRC slip resistance rating indicates that the tread pattern has been rigorously tested on both ceramic and steel surfaces, providing the highest level of grip available in modern safety footwear.
The interior is crafted to manage moisture and temperature, working in tandem with the HI and CI ratings to provide a consistent environment for the foot. This is a heavy-duty boot built for longevity, prioritising the wearer’s long-term musculoskeletal health through sophisticated heel cushioning.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety standards seriously. This specific product is sold without customisation to ensure the structural integrity of the safety components remains intact. Adding embroidery would involve puncturing the leather, which would immediately void the water-resistant properties and potentially compromise the S3 safety certification. We provide these as-is to ensure you receive the full protection intended by the manufacturer.
Use Cases
Given its comprehensive safety profile, the Camel Top is ideal for heavy construction, civil engineering, and petrochemical industries. Its ability to withstand extreme temperatures also makes it a preferred choice for road workers and those operating in foundries or cold storage facilities. It is a versatile choice for any tradesperson who moves between indoor and outdoor environments frequently.

Practical Advice
As these boots feature a substantial leather construction, we recommend a short breaking-in period to allow the leather to supple and conform to your foot shape. If you intend to wear heavy thermal socks, you may find the men's width provides ample room, but we suggest ensuring the laces are tightened correctly to maintain full ankle support and stability.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your safety boots, it is essential to keep the leather clean. Allowing mud or debris to dry on the surface can leach the natural oils from the leather, leading to cracking and a loss of water resistance. After use, wipe them down with a damp cloth and allow them to dry naturally.
Avoid placing these boots directly against a radiator or heat source to dry. Rapid heating can cause the leather to become brittle and may affect the adhesives used in the sole construction. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Periodically treating the honey leather with a suitable conditioner or water-proofing spray will help maintain the S3 rating and keep the material flexible. Ensuring the soles are kept clear of stones and build-up will maintain the integrity of the SRC slip resistance.
