Product Overview
The Lingotto S1PS LG FO SR from the Base Smart collection represents a sophisticated evolution in safety footwear. Combining the breathability of a sandal with the uncompromising protection of a technical work boot, this footwear is engineered for professionals who require agility without sacrificing safety. While you might be tempted to compare these to leisure wear, they are far more robust; these are high-performance tools for your feet, designed to handle the rigours of the workplace while keeping you comfortable through a long shift.
Key Features
- 200 Joule Steel Toe-Cap: This integrated steel cap provides a critical barrier against impact and compression, ensuring your toes are protected from falling objects and heavy equipment.
- Fresh'n Flex Puncture Resistance: Featuring a non-metallic insert designed to resist 3mm nails, this insole provides comprehensive underfoot protection against sharp debris while maintaining flexibility.
- SmellStop Antibacterial Lining: A permanent treatment that prevents the growth of bacteria and fungus, keeping your footwear fresh and hygienic even after intense daily use.
- AirTech Anti-Fatigue Sole: The single-density PU outsole is designed to absorb energy and reduce the strain on your joints, which is particularly beneficial for those spending hours on their feet.
- SR Rated Slip Resistance: Tested on ceramic surfaces with glycerin, the sole offers superior traction to prevent slips and falls in challenging workplace environments.
Design & Performance
Constructed from premium suede leather, the Lingotto is built for durability and vapour permeability. The sandal design isn't just for aesthetics; it provides enhanced breathability, allowing moisture to escape and air to circulate, which is vital for maintaining foot health in warmer environments. The addition of technical materials ensures that while the shoe feels light on the foot, it remains a sturdy piece of PPE.
The sole features a specific ladder grip design, providing extra security when working at heights or on uneven terrain. The ergonomic design follows the natural contours of the foot, ensuring efficiency of movement and reducing the 'heavy foot' feeling often associated with traditional safety boots. Despite its substantial protection, the materials are chosen for their high-performing technical properties and long-term durability.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety standards seriously. This specific item is sold without customisation because the integrity of safety footwear must never be compromised. Adding embroidery or heat-seal transfers to the upper of a safety sandal could puncture the protective materials or interfere with the technical properties required for its EN ISO 20345:2022 certification. To ensure you remain fully compliant and protected on-site, we provide these as-is from the manufacturer.
Use Cases
This footwear is ideally suited for indoor trades, warehouse management, and light industrial environments where temperature control is a factor. They are particularly effective for professionals who are constantly on the move and require a shoe that can transition from the shop floor to a ladder or vehicle without missing a beat.

Practical Advice
Fit is paramount when it comes to safety. These are available in dedicated widths, with a 10.5 width for women and a 12 width for men, ensuring a more natural fit for different foot shapes. We recommend pairing these with moisture-wicking socks to get the most out of the SmellStop lining and the breathable sandal design. If you are between sizes, consider the substantial nature of the steel toe-cap and allow for natural foot swelling during a long shift.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety ratings of your Lingotto sandals, regular maintenance is essential. Neglecting the materials can lead to premature wear and a reduction in the protective qualities of the suede and technical linings.
We recommend cleaning the suede leather with a dedicated brush to remove dust and grit. Allowing dirt to build up can clog the pores of the leather, reducing the vapour permeability that keeps your feet cool. If the footwear becomes wet, always allow it to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing them directly on a radiator, as extreme heat can cause the leather to become brittle and the PU sole to degrade over time.
Regularly inspect the outsole for trapped debris that might compromise the slip resistance. Ensure that the inner lining is kept clean to allow the SmellStop antibacterial treatment to function effectively. By following these simple steps, you ensure your investment continues to provide the safety and comfort you rely on every day.
