Product Overview
The i-Omega EH SB is a sophisticated low shoe engineered for professionals who require a blend of safety compliance and technical performance. Constructed from high-quality, water-resistant full-grain leather, this footwear is designed to withstand rigorous daily use while maintaining a professional appearance. It is a substantial, sturdy shoe that prioritises protection without sacrificing the wearer's comfort over the course of a long working day.
Key Features
SlimCap Toe-Cap: Offers 200 joules of impact resistance with a reduced profile, ensuring your feet are protected from heavy falling objects without the cumbersome weight of traditional steel.
SmellStop Lining: An antibacterial and anti-odour lining that proactively manages foot health, keeping the shoes fresh even after intensive shifts.
Puncture-Resistant Sole: Features a non-metallic insert designed to resist penetration from sharp objects like nails, offering full-sole protection.
Cold Insulation: Tested to provide thermal protection in temperatures as low as -17°C, making it an excellent choice for outdoor or refrigerated environments.
Metal-Free Construction: This design is ideal for workplaces with security scanners or environments where non-conductive footwear is required.
Design & Performance
The performance of the i-Omega shoe is rooted in its innovative AirTech and Tpu-Skin outsole technology. This combination provides a low-profile sole that offers superior cushioning and flexibility, which is vital for reducing leg fatigue when walking on hard industrial floors. The full-grain leather upper is not only durable but also treated for water penetration and absorption, ensuring your feet remain dry in damp conditions.
Furthermore, the shoe is ergonomically designed to support the natural movement of the foot. The shock absorption in the heel region further enhances comfort by dampening the impact of every step, which is particularly beneficial for those spending eight or more hours on their feet.
Why No Customisation?
As this is a piece of certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to meet specific safety standards (EN ISO 20345:2022), we do not offer customisation on this item. Applying embroidery or heat-applied logos could potentially damage the water-resistant leather or compromise the structural integrity and safety certifications of the shoe. We provide these shoes as-is to ensure your safety remains uncompromised.
Use Cases
These shoes are ideally suited for professionals in logistics, light engineering, and facilities management. Because of the cold insulation and water-resistant properties, they are particularly effective for those transitioning between indoor warehouses and outdoor loading bays. They are also a preferred choice for airport personnel or security-conscious environments where metal-free gear is a prerequisite.

Practical Advice
The i-Omega is designed with ergonomic efficiency in mind, featuring specific widths for both men and women to ensure a better fit. When choosing your size, remember that the shoe includes an orthopaedic-compliant footbed; if you intend to wear particularly thick thermal socks, you may wish to consider this when selecting your fit to ensure the puncture-resistant sole remains correctly aligned with your foot.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance standards of the water-resistant full-grain leather, it is important to keep the shoes clean. Use a damp cloth to remove mud or grit after each shift. Allowing dirt to build up can cause the leather to dry out and eventually crack, which would compromise the water resistance.
If the shoes become wet, always allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. You should never place them directly on a radiator or near a heater. Excessive heat can cause the leather to become brittle and may damage the adhesive bonds in the technical Tpu-Skin sole, leading to premature wear.
Regular application of a quality leather conditioner will help to keep the upper supple and extend the life of the shoe, ensuring the technical materials continue to perform as intended for as long as possible.
