Product Overview
The Opera S1P SRC is a sophisticated low-profile safety shoe from the Base Smart collection, meticulously engineered to balance aesthetic appeal with industrial-grade protection. Presented in a professional Grey and Orange colourway, this footwear is designed for those who require robust safety features without the bulk of a traditional boot. It adheres to the EN ISO 20345: 2011 standards, ensuring that your feet are protected by a product that has undergone rigorous testing and certification.
Key Features
200 Joules Resistant Steel Toe-Cap: The integrated steel toe-cap provides a formidable barrier against impact and compression, ensuring that your toes remain protected from falling objects or heavy equipment in the workplace.
Puncture Resistant Sole: Featuring a Fresh’n Flex midsole, this shoe prevents sharp objects like nails or shards from penetrating the sole, which is vital for maintaining safety on busy shop floors or construction sites.
Anti-Static Footwear: The anti-static properties help to safely dissipate electrostatic charges, reducing the risk of sparks in environments where static buildup could be hazardous.
Shock Absorption in the Heel: The design incorporates dedicated shock absorption in the heel region, which significantly reduces the strain on your joints during long shifts on hard surfaces.
Hydrocarbon Resistance: The outsole is specifically formulated to resist hydrocarbons, ensuring the integrity of the shoe and maintaining grip even when in contact with oils and fuels.
Design & Performance
The Opera S1P SRC distinguishes itself through the use of AirTech Single Density technology in both the upper and the outsole. This anti-fatigue design creates a more flexible and cushioned experience, allowing the wearer to remain comfortable throughout an entire shift. The single-density sole is engineered to be lightweight yet durable, providing an excellent balance for those who are constantly on the move.
Inside, the shoe features a SmellStop lining. This antibacterial and anti-odour treatment is permanent, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus that cause unpleasant smells. By keeping the interior environment hygienic, the shoe remains fresh for longer, even with daily use. The SRC slip resistance rating indicates that the outsole has been tested for grip on both ceramic and steel surfaces, providing confidence in every step.
Why No Customisation?
As this product is classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation such as embroidery or heat transfers. Altering the structure or fabric of a safety shoe can potentially compromise its protective integrity and invalidate its EN ISO certification. To ensure your safety and compliance with workplace regulations, we provide this item in its original, tested form.
Use Cases
The Opera S1P SRC is ideally suited for professionals working in warehousing, logistics, and light manufacturing. Its breathable design and low-cut style make it an excellent choice for indoor environments where protection is required but a heavy boot would be cumbersome. The availability of both men’s and women’s widths ensures a precise fit for a variety of foot shapes across your workforce.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the type of work socks you intend to wear, as a thicker thermal sock may require a slightly more generous fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely to fully engage the heel shock absorption and provide the necessary ankle support. This shoe is a substantial, sturdy choice that offers a reliable fit for standard UK sizing.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your safety shoes, regular cleaning is essential. We recommend wiping the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Allowing mud to dry on the AirTech upper can lead to the material cracking over time, which reduces the lifespan of the shoe.
Avoid drying your shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or heaters. Excessive heat can cause the adhesives to fail and the materials to become brittle. Instead, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. If the interior becomes damp, removing the insole and stuffing the shoes with paper can help draw out moisture while maintaining the shoe's shape.
