Product Overview
The I-Robox Shoe S3 CI ESD SRC represents a sophisticated approach to industrial safety footwear, originating from the technical Base i4 collection. Designed as a sturdy, high-performance low shoe, it combines rigorous safety standards with advanced ergonomic features. This footwear is engineered to provide comprehensive protection in environments requiring anti-static properties and resistance to cold, all while maintaining a metal-free construction that is conducive to security-sensitive areas.
Key Features
- SlimCap Toe Cap: This 200-joule resistant toe-cap is entirely metal-free and thinner than traditional caps, offering essential impact protection without unnecessary bulk or weight.
- Air Tech + TPU-Skin Anti-Fatigue Sole: A patented system that combines a cushioning effect with a low-profile outsole, reducing the physical strain on the wearer during long shifts on hard surfaces.
- SmellStop Antibacterial Lining: An integrated permanent treatment that prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi, keeping the footwear fresh and reducing the risk of skin irritation.
- Cold Insulation (CI): Tested to provide thermal protection against temperatures as low as -17°C, ensuring comfort in refrigerated environments or during outdoor winter work.
- Fresh’n Flex Midsole: This puncture-resistant layer provides high levels of flexibility and protection against sharp objects underfoot without the use of metal components.
- ESD Protection: Specifically designed for use in ESD environments, protecting sensitive electronic devices from electrostatic discharges.
Design & Performance
The construction of the I-Robox shoe focuses heavily on durability and technical performance. The upper is crafted from a water-resistant material, which, when paired with the hydrocarbon-resistant outsole, makes the shoe suitable for varied industrial settings. The inclusion of an overcap significantly increases abrasion resistance at the toe, extending the life of the shoe for those who spend time kneeling or working in abrasive conditions.
Performance is further enhanced by the padded collar, which prevents pressure points around the ankle. The TPU-Skin technology allows the outsole to be exceptionally thin, which translates to better flexibility and a reduction in the weight of the shoe, despite its substantial and protective build. This results in a shoe that moves with the foot rather than resisting it.
Why No Customisation?
The I-Robox Shoe is a piece of certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that adheres to strict safety standards, including EN ISO 20345 and specific ESD norms. MyWorkwear does not offer customisation on this product to ensure the structural integrity and technical certifications remain uncompromised. Applying heat-seals or embroidery could potentially interfere with the ESD properties or the water-resistant upper, and our priority is ensuring your safety remains the primary focus.
Use Cases
This footwear is ideally suited for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, clean rooms, or laboratories where ESD protection is mandatory. It is equally effective for logistics and warehousing staff who require anti-fatigue support and protection against cold in climate-controlled facilities. The metal-free design also makes it a practical choice for airport staff or security personnel who frequently pass through metal detectors.

Practical Advice
Given the inclusion of the SlimCap and the anti-fatigue sole, we recommend ensuring a secure fit to fully benefit from the ergonomic design. If you require specific orthopaedic support, these shoes are compliant with DGUV112-191 for made-to-measure footbeds. For those working in transition zones between indoors and outdoors, the S3 water resistance provides a reliable barrier against damp conditions.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety shoes is vital to ensure they continue to provide the certified levels of protection and to extend their service life. We recommend cleaning the uppers regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and contaminants. Allowing dirt or chemicals like hydrocarbons to sit on the surface can eventually degrade the PU/TPU materials, leading to premature cracking or loss of water resistance.
When the shoes become wet, they should be allowed to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. You must avoid placing them directly on or near heat sources, such as radiators, as excessive heat can cause the synthetic materials to become brittle and may affect the bond of the anti-fatigue sole. To maintain the effectiveness of the SmellStop lining, ensure the shoes are aired out thoroughly between shifts.
