Product Overview
The Marathon S3 SRC from the Record collection represents a significant advancement in safety footwear design. This low-profile shoe is engineered for those who spend long hours on their feet and require a combination of high-level protection and athletic-inspired comfort. Built with a focus on ergonomics, it addresses the physical strain often associated with industrial work without compromising on the rigorous safety standards required in modern work environments.
Key Features
- SlimCap Toe Cap: This 200-joule resistant toe cap offers essential impact protection. Being non-magnetic and metal-free, it reduces weight and avoids triggering metal detectors while maintaining a slim profile compared to traditional steel caps.
- Fresh’n Flex Midsole: This puncture-resistant layer ensures that sharp objects do not penetrate the sole, providing a critical barrier for your feet in hazardous underfoot conditions.
- SmellStop Lining: The antibacterial and anti-odour treatment within the lining helps maintain a hygienic internal environment, preventing the growth of bacteria that cause unpleasant smells and skin irritation.
- ESD Protection: Designed to protect sensitive electronic devices from electrostatic discharges, these shoes are vital for those working in electronics manufacturing or high-tech environments.
- Water-Resistant Upper: The exterior is treated to prevent water penetration, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable even when working in damp or unpredictable conditions.
Design & Performance
At the heart of the Marathon S3 SRC is the Antifatigue AirTech and TPU-Skin technology. This innovative sole design reduces the thickness of the hard outsole, allowing for more of the soft, cushioning AirTech material. The result is a shoe that feels substantial and sturdy yet provides exceptional shock absorption in the heel region, significantly reducing the fatigue felt in the legs and back after a full shift.
The upper is crafted for durability and flexibility, working in tandem with the orthopaedic-compliant footbed. This adherence to European DGUV112-191 norms means the shoe can accommodate made-to-measure footbeds, making it an excellent choice for workers with specific podiatric requirements. The hydrocarbon-resistant outsole further ensures reliable grip and longevity when working around oils and chemicals.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-applied logos, on this specific item. Safety footwear is manufactured and tested to meet precise European safety standards (UNI EN ISO 20345:2012). Any structural modification or the addition of heat and pressure during a customisation process could potentially compromise the technical integrity of the materials, such as the water-resistant upper or the electrostatic discharge (ESD) properties.
Use Cases
These shoes are ideal for professionals working in logistics, light industry, and electronics sectors. Their discreet, sporty aesthetic makes them suitable for those who move between the warehouse floor and office environments. Given their S3 rating and SRC slip resistance, they are equally at home on construction sites where a low-shoe profile is preferred over a traditional boot.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the type of socks you will be wearing. A medium-weight work sock is generally recommended to complement the shoe's internal cushioning. If you require orthopaedic inserts, ensure they are fitted by a professional to maintain the shoe's compliance with safety regulations.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety certifications of your footwear, it is essential to keep them clean. After use, remove dirt and debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allowing grime to build up on the TPU-Skin can lead to premature cracking and will degrade the water-resistant properties of the upper material.
Never dry your shoes on a direct heat source, such as a radiator. Excessive heat can cause the specialised adhesives in the sole to fail and may harden the upper materials, leading to discomfort and reduced flexibility. Instead, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area with the insoles removed to ensure moisture is fully wicked away from the interior lining.
