Product Overview
The Base Hockey S3 SRC ankle shoe is a high-specification piece of safety footwear from the Base Record collection, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial environments. Combining a sleek black and grey aesthetic with an uncompromising approach to protection, this footwear is engineered for professionals who require reliable safety without sacrificing mobility. Its sturdy construction ensures longevity, while the inclusion of an orthopaedic made-to-measure footbed, complying with European DGUV112-191 norms, demonstrates a commitment to long-term wearer health and ergonomic support.
Key Features
- Water Resistant Upper: The upper material is designed to repel water, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable when working in damp or unpredictable conditions.
- 200 Joules Resistant Toe-Cap: This feature provides essential protection against impact and compression, safeguarding your feet from heavy falling objects in the workplace.
- Puncture Resistant Sole: The reinforced sole prevents sharp objects, such as nails or glass, from penetrating the footbed, offering peace of mind on hazardous sites.
- Metal-Free Construction: Being entirely metal-free, these shoes are ideal for environments with metal detectors, such as airports or high-security facilities, and are generally lighter than traditional steel-toed alternatives.
- Anti-Static Properties: Designed to dissipate electrostatic charges, these shoes reduce the risk of static shocks in sensitive electronic environments.
- Shock Absorption: The integrated heel shock absorption minimises the impact on your joints during high-intensity activity, reducing fatigue over a long shift.
Design & Performance
The Hockey S3 SRC is built for performance. The choice of materials in the upper provides a substantial barrier against the elements while maintaining the flexibility required for an ankle shoe. Performance is further enhanced by the SRC slip resistance rating, which is the highest standard for slip resistance, tested on both ceramic and steel surfaces covered with water and glycerine. This ensures maximum stability on slippery surfaces.
Internally, the shoe is designed to facilitate airflow and moisture management. The hydrocarbon-resistant sole ensures that the integrity of the shoe is maintained even when in contact with oils and petrol, which can often degrade standard footwear. This is a substantial, protective shoe that does not compromise on the technical requirements of the EN ISO 20345: 2011 S3 standard.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat transfers, on the Base Hockey S3 SRC. Safety footwear is precision-engineered to meet specific EN ISO standards. Applying heat or piercing the protective upper with embroidery needles could compromise the water-resistant membrane and the structural integrity of the safety features. To ensure your protection remains at the level intended by the manufacturer, we provide these shoes in their original, unadulterated form.
Use Cases
These shoes are ideally suited for tradespeople working in construction, warehousing, and engineering. The metal-free design makes them a primary choice for security personnel or those working in aviation. Additionally, the water-resistant properties and hydrocarbon resistance make them suitable for outdoor maintenance roles and automotive workshops where spills are a frequent occurrence.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the type of socks you will typically wear. As these are substantial safety shoes with a fixed toe-cap, there is no 'give' in the front of the shoe. If you are between sizes or intend to wear heavy thermal socks, you may wish to consider the fit carefully to ensure maximum comfort. Always ensure the laces are tied securely to allow the shock-absorbing heel to function correctly.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety ratings of your Hockey S3 SRC shoes, regular maintenance is essential. Neglecting the exterior of the shoe can lead to the upper material drying out or cracking, which would eventually compromise the S3 water-resistance rating.
We recommend cleaning your shoes regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using high-heat sources, such as radiators, to dry them if they become wet, as excessive heat can damage the adhesives and the integrity of the materials. Instead, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Periodic treatment with a suitable water-repellent spray can also help maintain the upper's ability to shed water effectively.
