Product Overview
The I-Bit Sandal S1P ESD SRC is a sophisticated piece of safety footwear from the Base Record collection, designed for professionals who require high levels of protection without the thermal burden of a traditional boot. This sandal combines the rigorous safety standards of an S1P rated shoe with the enhanced breathability required for indoor environments or warmer climates. It is specifically engineered for those working in sectors where electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is paramount, ensuring that sensitive electronic components remain safe from static interference.
Key Features
- SlimCap Toe Cap: This metal-free toe cap provides essential 200-joule impact resistance while maintaining a slimmer profile, ensuring your feet are protected from heavy falling objects without the bulk associated with traditional steel alternatives.
- Fresh’n Flex Midsole: A high-performance puncture-resistant sole that prevents sharp objects from penetrating the bottom of the foot, crucial for maintaining safety on busy worksites.
- SmellStop Antibacterial Lining: The base lining is treated to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus, which helps to eliminate odours and maintain a more hygienic environment for your feet throughout the working day.
- Air Tech + TPU-Skin Outsole: This patented anti-fatigue technology provides a cushioning effect that reduces the strain on your joints and muscles, making long shifts on hard surfaces significantly more manageable.
- ESD Protection: Designed to facilitate the safe dissipation of electrostatic charges, these sandals are indispensable for those working with delicate electronic equipment.
- Overcap Protection: Added abrasion resistance at the toe area ensures the footwear lasts longer, even if your work involves frequent kneeling or scuffing.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a PU/TPU upper and outsole, the I-Bit Sandal is a study in durability and lightweight performance. The metal-free construction makes it an ideal choice for environments with security scanners or where non-conductive footwear is required. The design philosophy of the Record collection focuses on reducing the weight of the sole, which in turn reduces the energy expenditure of the wearer. The result is a substantial safety shoe that feels remarkably unrestrictive.
The SRC slip resistance rating indicates that the outsole has been tested on both ceramic surfaces with soap and steel surfaces with glycerol, providing the highest level of grip currently available in safety footwear. This performance is vital for maintaining stability in environments where spills or slick surfaces are a constant hazard.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we pride ourselves on our branding expertise; however, we do not offer customisation on the I-Bit Sandal. This is to ensure the structural integrity and safety certifications of the footwear remain uncompromised. Adding embroidery or heat-applied transfers could potentially damage the technical fabrics or interfere with the ESD properties that are vital for your safety. We believe in providing you with PPE that performs exactly as the manufacturer intended.
Use Cases
These sandals are perfectly suited for professionals in electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, and automated warehouses. They are also an excellent choice for light industrial work, delivery drivers, and tradespeople working in indoor settings where breathability is a higher priority than water resistance. Their orthopaedic-friendly design also makes them suitable for those requiring made-to-measure footbeds in compliance with European DGUV112-191 norms.

Practical Advice
The I-Bit Sandal is designed with a versatile fit to accommodate both men and women. For the best experience, we recommend pairing these sandals with high-quality technical socks that assist with moisture management, further enhancing the benefits of the SmellStop lining. If you require specific orthopaedic support, please note that these are compatible with DGUV112-191 compliant footbeds.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your safety sandals, it is essential to keep the upper materials clean. Regularly remove dust and debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. Failure to remove grit can lead to premature wear of the PU/TPU materials, shortening the lifespan of the footwear.
Always allow the sandals to air dry naturally at room temperature if they become damp. Never place them directly against a heat source, such as a radiator, as this can cause the materials to become brittle and may affect the bond of the sole. Keeping the sandals clean and dry is the simplest way to ensure the antibacterial properties of the lining remain effective for as long as possible.
