Product Overview
The Kate S3L FO SR, part of the specialist Miss Base range, is a low-profile safety shoe engineered specifically for the female professional. It addresses the common issue of ill-fitting safety footwear by utilizing a dedicated women’s width, ensuring that protection does not come at the cost of ergonomic comfort. This shoe is not merely a scaled-down version of a male boot; it is a technically advanced piece of personal protective equipment certified to the latest EN ISO 20345:2022 standards, offering a balanced combination of durability and a refined aesthetic in a Blue and Pink finish.
Key Features
- 200 Joules Resistant Toe-cap: Provides a robust shield against heavy falling objects and compression, ensuring the structural integrity of the toe area in high-risk zones.
- Puncture Resistant Sole: Includes an internal layer designed to prevent sharp objects, such as nails or glass, from penetrating the footbed.
- Water Resistant Upper: The upper material is treated to prevent water penetration, keeping your feet dry and comfortable during outdoor tasks or in damp environments.
- Shock Absorption in the Heel: Reduces the impact on joints and the lower back during long shifts on hard surfaces, significantly improving daily comfort.
- Anti-static Footwear: Minimizes the accumulation of electrostatic charges, which is essential for those working near sensitive electronic equipment or in flammable environments.
- Hydrocarbons Resistant: The sole is formulated to resist degradation from oils and fuels, maintaining grip and longevity in industrial settings.
Design & Performance
The Kate S3L FO SR is constructed with a focus on longevity and performance under pressure. The material choice for the upper provides a sturdy barrier against the elements while maintaining enough flexibility to allow for natural foot movement. Being an S3L rated shoe with FO and SR certifications, it offers superior slip resistance and fuel-oil resistance, making it particularly effective for those working in workshops, logistics, or light construction. The footwear feels substantial and sturdy, providing the confidence required for hazardous floor conditions without the unnecessary bulk found in standard unisex designs.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we prioritise your safety above all else. This footwear is sold as-is because any structural modification, such as embroidery or heat-pressing logos onto the upper, could compromise the integrity of the water-resistant membrane and the protective materials. To ensure these shoes maintain their EN ISO 20345:2022 certification and continue to provide the full level of protection described, they are supplied without customisation.
Use Cases
These shoes are ideally suited for women working in warehousing, light manufacturing, and the transport sector. The refined profile also makes them a sensible choice for site managers or surveyors who require a professional appearance while needing to transition frequently from an office environment to an active work site.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the thickness of the socks you intend to wear. Safety footwear requires a secure fit to prevent internal movement, which can lead to blisters. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend opting for the larger size to allow for natural foot expansion throughout a long working day.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety characteristics of your footwear, regular maintenance is essential. Neglecting the exterior of the shoe can lead to the material drying out and cracking, which would eventually compromise the water-resistant properties.
We recommend cleaning the uppers with a damp cloth to remove dirt and industrial debris. Allow the shoes to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Never place safety footwear directly against a heat source, such as a radiator, as rapid drying can cause the adhesives to fail and the materials to become brittle. Regular inspection of the soles for trapped debris will also ensure the slip-resistant properties remain effective.
