Product Overview
The Izar S3 CI SRC, a cornerstone of the Smart Evo range, represents a sophisticated approach to safety footwear. Designed as a low shoe, it balances the agility of a trainer with the uncompromising protection required on a heavy-duty site. This shoe is engineered for professionals who demand more than just a toe cap; it provides a comprehensive barrier against cold, moisture, and impact, all while maintaining a profile that feels sturdy and reliable without unnecessary bulk.
Key Features
SlimCap Toe Protection: The 200-joule resistant toe-cap ensures your feet are shielded from heavy falling objects while maintaining a more streamlined profile than traditional safety boots.
Fresh’n Flex Puncture Resistance: An integrated midsole provides a critical barrier against sharp objects on the ground, such as nails or glass, protecting the underside of your foot in hazardous environments.
Water-Resistant Upper: The upper material is treated to prevent water penetration, ensuring you remain comfortable and dry when working in damp or unpredictable conditions.
SmellStop Lining: This antibacterial and anti-odor lining works to maintain a hygienic environment inside the shoe, which is particularly beneficial after a long, demanding shift.
Cold Insulation: Rated for temperatures as low as -17°C, these shoes are specifically designed to keep your feet warm when the mercury drops, making them ideal for winter work or refrigerated environments.
Design & Performance
The Izar is built upon the AirTech Single Density outsole, a design focused on reducing fatigue during long periods of standing or walking. This antifatigue technology provides a cushioned feel that absorbs shock in the heel region, distributing pressure more effectively across the foot. The shoe is entirely metal-free, making it nickel and ferrous-free—a critical feature for those working in environments with metal detectors, such as airports, secure logistics centres, or high-security facilities.
Furthermore, the shoe is hydrocarbon resistant and features an anti-static build, providing essential stability and safety when dealing with oils or electrical discharge risks. The design is versatile enough to accommodate both men’s and women’s widths, ensuring a proper, secure fit is available for all team members regardless of their requirements.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Izar S3 CI SRC footwear. Safety shoes are precision-engineered to meet specific safety standards—in this case, UNI EN ISO 20345:2012. Attempting to embroider or print onto the technical fabrics could compromise the water-resistant properties of the upper or damage the structural integrity of the safety components. We believe in providing gear that performs exactly as the manufacturer intended to keep you safe.
Use Cases
These shoes are ideally suited for logistics and warehousing staff, particularly those working in cold storage or external loading bays where cold insulation is paramount. They are also a preferred choice for security professionals who need to pass through metal detectors frequently without sacrificing S3-level protection. Given their orthopaedic footbed compatibility, they are excellent for anyone requiring custom support during long working hours.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the environment in which you will be working. Given the cold insulation features, these shoes are often paired with thicker thermal socks; ensure you allow sufficient room for natural foot expansion throughout the day. If you require orthopaedic inserts, these shoes are compliant with DGUV112-191 norms for made-to-measure footbeds, allowing you to maintain comfort without voiding the safety certification.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Izar shoes, regular cleaning is essential. Allowing dirt or mud to dry and remain on the upper can eventually degrade the material and reduce its water-resistant effectiveness over time. Wipe them down with a damp cloth after use to keep the fabric breathable and flexible.
If the shoes become wet inside, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing them directly against a radiator or heat source, as extreme heat can cause the technical materials to become brittle or warp, potentially compromising the bond between the sole and the upper. Consistent care ensures the antibacterial SmellStop lining continues to function effectively for the life of the shoe.
