Product Overview
The Matar Top S3 ESD SRC from the Smart Evo range is a high-specification ankle shoe designed for professionals who require a sophisticated balance between robust protection and long-shift comfort. As part of a collection focused on functional excellence, this footwear provides a comprehensive safety solution for those operating in demanding industrial environments. It combines an advanced antifatigue system with specialised protection against electrostatic discharges, ensuring that both the wearer and sensitive electronic equipment remain protected.
Key Features
- SlimCap Toe Protection: The 200-joule resistant toe cap provides essential impact protection while maintaining a slimmer profile than traditional safety footwear, reducing bulk without compromising safety.
- SmellStop Lining: An integrated antiodor and antibacterial treatment ensures the interior remains hygienic and fresh, even during extended periods of wear.
- Fresh’n Flex Midsole: This puncture-resistant sole plate offers vital protection against sharp objects underfoot while remaining flexible enough to support the natural movement of the foot.
- Water-Resistant Upper: Designed to prevent water penetration, this feature ensures feet remain dry and comfortable in damp conditions, maintaining the integrity of the shoe.
- ESD Compliance: Specifically designed to protect electronic devices from electrostatic discharges, making these shoes indispensable in high-tech manufacturing or clean-room environments.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Matar Top is centred around the AirTech single density outsole. This technology is engineered to provide an antifatigue effect, cushioning the foot and distributing weight more evenly to reduce physical strain throughout the working day. Despite its sturdy and substantial build, the shoe remains incredibly practical for modern workplaces; it is entirely metal-free, using non-magnetic materials that are nickel and ferrous-free, making it ideal for staff who must pass through metal detectors regularly.
The outsole is also hydrocarbon resistant and meets SRC standards for slip resistance, providing reliable traction on various surfaces. The shock absorption in the heel region further enhances the wearer's experience by dampening the impact of every step on hard industrial flooring.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat transfers, on the Matar Top S3 ESD SRC. This is because the footwear is a precision-engineered piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any alteration to the upper could potentially pierce the water-resistant membrane or interfere with the electrostatic discharge (ESD) properties, which are critical for the safety certifications of the shoe. To ensure you remain fully compliant with safety standards, we provide this product in its original, tested form.
Use Cases
This footwear is ideally suited for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, automotive assembly, and logistics where ESD protection is a mandatory requirement. Its non-magnetic properties also make it an excellent choice for security personnel or airport staff. Given its S3 water-resistance rating, it is equally capable for tradespeople moving between indoor and outdoor environments.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a cornerstone of the UK workwear industry since 1976. Operating from our base in Telford, we bring decades of technical expertise to every product we supply. We understand that workwear is more than just a uniform; it is a tool for the job. Our long history allows us to select only the highest quality technical footwear that meets the rigorous demands of the modern British workforce.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this model is designed to accommodate both men’s and women’s widths, providing a more versatile fit. For those with specific podiatric requirements, the Matar Top is compliant with DGUV112-191 norms for orthopaedic made-to-measure footbeds. We recommend wearing moisture-wicking socks to complement the SmellStop lining for the best internal climate control.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance standards of your safety footwear, consistent care is required. Maintaining the cleanliness of the AirTech outsole is particularly important; ensuring the tread is free from debris will help preserve the SRC slip resistance, which is vital for your safety on slippery surfaces.
We recommend cleaning the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Allowing the shoes to dry naturally is essential; placing them near direct heat sources like radiators can cause the technical materials to become brittle or degrade, which may compromise the water-resistant properties. Regular cleaning not only extends the life of the shoe but ensures the ESD properties remain effective over time.
