Product Overview
The Etoile S3 SRC, part of the Base Smart collection, is a technical low shoe engineered for professionals who require uncompromising safety alongside all-day comfort. Designed to meet the UNI EN ISO 20345:2012 standard, this footwear provides a substantial barrier against workplace hazards while utilising advanced sole technology to reduce physical strain during long shifts.
Key Features
Steel Toe-Cap: Providing 200 joules of impact resistance, the integrated steel cap ensures the forefoot is protected from falling objects and compression.
Fresh’n Flex Midsole: This puncture-resistant base offers vital protection against sharp underfoot hazards, such as nails or shards, without sacrificing the flexibility of the shoe.
SmellStop Lining: An antibacterial and antiodor treatment is applied to the lining, which helps to maintain a hygienic internal environment and prevents the build-up of bacteria over time.
Antifatigue AirTech Outsole: The single-density outsole is specifically designed to absorb shock, significantly reducing the impact on joints and muscles throughout the working day.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the Etoile S3 SRC. The upper is constructed to be water-resistant, effectively preventing liquid penetration which is essential for those working in damp or unpredictable environments. Underfoot, the shoe is hydrocarbons resistant, ensuring the sole remains stable and durable even when in contact with oils or fuels. Furthermore, the SRC slip resistance rating indicates that the tread pattern has been tested for maximum grip on both ceramic and steel surfaces, providing peace of mind on slippery floors.
Why No Customisation?
Safety footwear is a certified piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). We do not offer customisation on this specific item because physical modifications, such as embroidery or heat-applied logos, could potentially pierce the water-resistant membrane or alter the structural integrity of the shoe. To ensure you remain fully compliant with safety regulations and that the product performs to its tested standards, we supply this item as-is.
Use Cases
This footwear is ideally suited for individuals working in warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, and light construction. Given the inclusion of both men’s and women’s widths, it is an excellent choice for outfitting entire teams who require reliable S3-grade protection in industrial settings.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that because this shoe features a steel toe-cap, there is no 'give' or stretch in the front of the shoe. We recommend ensuring a secure but comfortable fit from the outset to avoid rubbing. The anti-static properties make these particularly useful for environments where static discharge must be minimised.
Caring for your product
To preserve the protective qualities of your Etoile S3 SRC shoes, regular maintenance is essential. We recommend cleaning the uppers with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grit, as these particles can act as an abrasive and degrade the water-resistant treatment if left to build up.
It is equally important to keep the AirTech outsoles free of debris. Checking the tread regularly ensures the SRC slip resistance remains effective. If the shoes become wet, they should be allowed to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area; never place them against a direct heat source, such as a radiator, as this can cause the materials to become brittle and crack.
