Key Features
SlimCap Protective Toe Cap: This 200-joule resistant cap provides essential protection against impact and compression without the bulk of traditional steel caps, ensuring a more streamlined fit.
SmellStop Antibacterial Lining: An innovative permanent treatment that prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi, effectively eliminating odours and maintaining a healthy environment for your feet.
AirTech Antifatigue Outsole: The single-density sole is designed to cushion the foot and reduce physical strain, which is particularly beneficial for those working long shifts on hard floors.
Water-Resistant Upper: The high-quality upper material provides a reliable barrier against liquids, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable in damp or spill-prone environments.
Metal-Free Design: Being non-magnetic and free from nickel and ferrous materials, these shoes are entirely metal-detector friendly, making them ideal for high-security sites.
Design & Performance
The Kuma S2 FO SR is built on a foundation of technical excellence. The AirTech single-density outsole is the standout feature, designed specifically to address the fatigue that often accompanies workwear footwear. By providing superior shock absorption in the heel region, the shoe minimises the impact on joints and muscles. The upper is not only water-resistant but also incredibly durable, maintaining its structural integrity even in challenging conditions.
This shoe is also engineered to handle chemical exposure, featuring a hydrocarbon-resistant outsole. Furthermore, the anti-static properties ensure that static build-up is safely dissipated, providing an extra layer of protection in sensitive environments. The fit is versatile, designed to accommodate both men’s and women’s widths, ensuring a secure and supportive feel for every wearer.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety seriously. This specific item is sold without customisation because the structural integrity of safety footwear is paramount. Any puncture from embroidery needles or high-heat application from printing could compromise the water-resistant properties and potentially invalidate the EN ISO 20345:2022 safety certification. We provide these shoes as-is to ensure they perform exactly as the manufacturer intended.
Use Cases
The Kuma S2 FO SR is specifically designed for environments where hygiene and safety are inseparable. It is an excellent choice for professionals working in food preparation and manufacturing, pharmaceutical laboratories, and healthcare settings. Its slip-resistant and oil-resistant properties also make it suitable for clean-room maintenance and light industrial roles where a sturdy, water-resistant shoe is a prerequisite.

Practical Advice
To ensure you receive the full benefit of the antifatigue technology, we recommend ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. This shoe is compatible with orthopaedic made-to-measure footbeds that comply with European DGUV112-191 norms, allowing for personalised support if required. When selecting your size, remember that a well-fitted shoe is essential for the effective function of the SlimCap protection.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of your footwear is essential for both longevity and hygiene. We recommend regularly wiping the water-resistant uppers with a damp cloth to remove any surface contaminants or spills. Allowing dirt to build up can eventually degrade the material and impact the shoe's professional appearance.
Avoid drying your shoes near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the materials to become brittle and potentially crack, compromising the water resistance. Instead, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space. Keeping the soles free of debris will also ensure the slip-resistant properties remain effective throughout the life of the shoe.
