Product Overview
The Matar S3 ESD SRC low shoe is a cornerstone of the Smart Evo collection, engineered to provide comprehensive protection without sacrificing the wearer's comfort during long shifts. This footwear bridges the gap between industrial safety requirements and the technical needs of modern electronic environments. As a professional-grade safety shoe, it prioritises high-level foot protection through a combination of advanced materials and meticulous design, ensuring the wearer is shielded from common workplace hazards while maintaining a professional appearance.
Key Features
- Non-Magnetic Construction: Being entirely nickel and ferrous-free makes these shoes metal detector friendly, allowing for seamless movement through high-security checkpoints without the inconvenience of manual checks.
- Water Resistant Upper: The treated upper prevents water penetration, ensuring feet remain dry and comfortable even when working in damp or unpredictable conditions.
- 200 Joules Resistant Toe-Cap: This essential safety feature protects the toes against heavy falling objects and compression, meeting rigorous European safety standards.
- Puncture Resistant Sole: An integrated barrier within the sole prevents sharp objects from piercing through to the foot, a critical feature for construction and manufacturing sites.
- ESD Protection: Designed specifically for electrostatic discharge environments, these shoes protect sensitive electronic devices from damage caused by static buildup from the wearer.
- Shock Absorption: Integrated technology in the heel region absorbs impact energy, reducing strain on the joints and improving comfort during extended periods of standing or walking.
Design & Performance
The Matar S3 ESD SRC is crafted with a focus on durability and ergonomics. The upper material is selected for its ability to repel liquids while maintaining structural integrity over time. Underfoot, the sole is resistant to hydrocarbons, preventing degradation when exposed to oils or fuels commonly found in workshops and garages. To manage the physical toll of a full day on your feet, the shoe features substantial cushioning that mitigates the impact of walking on hard industrial floors. Furthermore, the design is compatible with DGUV112-191 orthopaedic footbeds, allowing for a made-to-measure fit for those requiring specific medical support without compromising safety compliance.
Why No Customisation?
Safety footwear such as the Matar S3 is sold as-is to ensure the integrity of its protective features. Unlike garments, we do not offer embroidery or printing on these shoes. Adding such customisation could potentially pierce the water-resistant layers or compromise the ESD properties that are vital for your safety. Furthermore, any modification to the shoe's structure would invalidate its CE certification and safety ratings, which is a risk we are not prepared to take with your protection.
Use Cases
These shoes are ideally suited for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, laboratories, or any environment where ESD control is mandatory. Due to their S3 rating and water-resistant properties, they are also excellent for warehouse management, light construction, and logistics roles where protection from falling objects and puncture risks is necessary. The non-magnetic design also makes them a preferred choice for airport staff and security personnel who frequently pass through metal detectors.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the type of socks you will wear on a daily basis, as thicker thermal socks may necessitate a slightly more generous fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely to fully benefit from the heel shock absorption and to prevent internal foot slippage, which can lead to premature wear of the lining. If you require orthopaedic adjustments, please ensure any footbed used complies with the DGUV112-191 standard to maintain the shoe’s safety certification.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your safety footwear, regular cleaning is essential. Remove surface dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth after every shift. Allowing mud to dry and remain on the upper can eventually lead to the material cracking or losing its water-resistant properties, which shortens the lifespan of the shoe.
If the shoes become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Forced drying can cause the materials to become brittle, compromising both comfort and the shoe's protective lifespan. Periodically checking the tread for debris is also recommended to ensure the slip-resistance and hydrocarbon-resistant properties remain effective.
