Product Overview
The Colosseum S1P SRC is a professionally engineered safety shoe from the Base Smart collection, designed to provide a reliable balance between protection and wearer comfort. Presented in a versatile Cool Grey, this footwear is a functional choice for those working in environments where hazards are present but agility remains a priority. Certified to EN ISO 20345: 2011 standards, these shoes offer more than just a smart appearance; they provide a comprehensive safety solution for the modern workplace.
Key Features
- Integrated Steel Toe-Cap: Capable of resisting up to 200 joules of impact, this essential safety feature protects the phalanges from falling objects and compression injuries.
- Fresh’n Flex Midsole: This puncture-resistant base ensures that sharp objects on the ground do not penetrate the sole, safeguarding the underside of the foot in hazardous environments.
- SmellStop Lining: An antibacterial and antiodor lining helps maintain a hygienic internal environment, significantly reducing the build-up of bacteria that cause unpleasant scents.
- Antifatigue AirTech Outsole: The single-density sole is engineered to provide cushioning and flexibility, reducing the physical strain on the wearer during long shifts on hard surfaces.
- SRC Rated Slip Resistance: Tested on both ceramic and steel surfaces, the outsole provides superior grip to help prevent slips, trips, and falls in the workplace.
Design & Performance
The Colosseum is built using an Antifatigue AirTech single-density system for both the upper and the outsole. This design focus ensures that the shoe remains flexible while providing the necessary structural integrity for a demanding workday. The substantial, sturdy construction is evident from the moment you put them on, offering a reassuring sense of security without the excessive bulk often associated with industrial footwear.
Performance-wise, the shoe is resistant to hydrocarbons, making it suitable for environments where oil or fuel spillages may occur. The shock absorption in the heel region is particularly beneficial for professionals who spend the majority of their day on their feet, as it helps to dissipate the energy of each step, protecting the joints and reducing overall fatigue.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we prioritise your safety above all else. This item is sold without customisation options because it is a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Altering the shoe through embroidery or heat-applied transfers could compromise the integrity of the technical materials or interfere with the safety certifications. To ensure your footwear performs exactly as the manufacturer intended and provides the full protection required by law, we supply these as-is.
Use Cases
The Colosseum S1P SRC is an ideal choice for warehouse staff, delivery drivers, and light industry technicians. Its anti-static properties make it suitable for environments where the build-up of static electricity needs to be managed, while the breathable lining and antifatigue sole are perfect for indoor environments where the wearer is constantly on the move.

Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit, please note that this shoe is designed to accommodate both men’s and women’s widths. We recommend ensuring there is a small amount of space at the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot expansion during the day. When pairing with work socks, consider a medium-weight technical sock to complement the moisture-wicking properties of the SmellStop lining.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety footwear is essential for ensuring it continues to provide the level of protection you require. Regular cleaning of the outsole is vital; removing dirt and debris ensures the SRC slip resistance remains effective, as a clogged tread cannot properly grip the floor surface.
The upper materials should be wiped down with a damp cloth to remove dust and contaminants. Allowing the shoes to dry naturally is important; avoid placing them directly against heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the materials to become brittle and potentially compromise the bond of the sole.
The SmellStop antibacterial lining works best when the shoes are allowed to air out between shifts. If the shoes become damp, remove any insoles and allow them to dry in a well-ventilated area to maintain the efficacy of the antiodor treatment.
