Product Overview
The Orbit S3 ESD SRC, part of the distinguished Oxford collection, represents a sophisticated approach to industrial footwear. Designed for professionals who require a blend of safety and agility, this low-cut shoe is built to the UNI EN ISO 20345:2012 S3 standard. It provides a robust shield against common workplace hazards while maintaining a professional profile that does not look out of place in a management or technical setting.
Key Features
200 Joules SpaceCap: The non-magnetic SpaceCap toe-cap offers significant protection against heavy impacts and compression without the weight or thermal conductivity of traditional steel.
ESD Electronic Device Protection: Specifically engineered to protect sensitive electronic components by safely dissipating electrostatic discharges, making these essential for high-tech manufacturing.
Puncture-Resistant Fresh’n Flex Sole: An integrated midsole prevents sharp objects from piercing the sole of the foot, ensuring safety on construction sites or floors with debris.
Water-Resistant Upper: The upper material is treated to prevent water penetration, keeping your feet dry and comfortable during outdoor transits or in damp environments.
Metal-Detector Friendly: Completely free of nickel and ferrous materials, allowing for seamless movement through security checkpoints without triggering alarms.
Design & Performance
The Orbit is constructed using an AirTech single-density outsole, which provides a stable platform and excellent shock absorption in the heel region. This reduces the fatigue often associated with standing on hard surfaces for extended periods. Inside, the shoe features the SmellStop Deluxe lining, which incorporates antibacterial and anti-odour treatments to ensure a fresh environment for the foot, even during long shifts.
The use of high-quality materials ensures the shoe remains flexible while meeting the stringent S3 safety requirements. The outsole is also resistant to hydrocarbons, providing reliable grip and durability in environments where oils and fuels may be present.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we prioritise your safety above all else. This shoe is sold without customisation because the application of heat-seals or embroidery can compromise the structural integrity of the water-resistant upper and potentially interfere with the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) properties. To ensure these shoes continue to meet the UNI EN ISO 20345:2012 S3 standards, they are supplied exactly as manufactured.
Use Cases
The Orbit S3 is perfectly suited for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, clean rooms, or environments where metal-free security is required. Its water-resistant properties and robust toe protection also make it an excellent choice for warehouse managers, surveyors, and technical engineers who move between the office and site.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a trusted partner for UK businesses. Operating from our technical hub in Telford, we bring decades of expertise to every product we select for our range. We understand that workwear is a vital tool of your trade, and we only supply items that meet our rigorous standards for durability and safety.
Practical Advice
This shoe is designed with a specific men's width to provide a secure and supportive fit. When selecting your size, consider the type of socks you intend to wear; a technical work sock can enhance the moisture-wicking properties of the SmellStop lining. If you are frequently passing through metal detectors, the non-magnetic design of the Orbit will save you considerable time and hassle daily.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your footwear is essential to ensure it continues to provide the safety protection specified by its S3 rating. We recommend regularly removing surface dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allowing dirt to build up can degrade the water-resistant properties of the upper over time.
If the shoes become wet, they should be allowed to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can cause the materials to become brittle and may affect the bond of the sole. Keeping the shoes clean and dry ensures the antibacterial lining remains effective and the ESD properties are not compromised by external contaminants.
