Product Overview
The Prado S3 SRC is a professional-grade safety ankle shoe designed for those who require high-level protection without compromising on daily comfort. As part of our Smart collection, this footwear is engineered to meet the rigorous EN ISO 20345: 2011 S3 SRC standards, ensuring it provides a reliable barrier against common workplace hazards. Its design strikes a balance between a professional appearance and the rugged durability needed for demanding environments.
Key Features
- Integrated Steel Toe Cap: Engineered to resist up to 200 joules of impact, this toe cap provides essential protection against falling objects and heavy equipment.
- Fresh’n Flex Midsole: This puncture-resistant sole technology prevents sharp objects from piercing the bottom of the shoe, keeping your feet safe from underfoot hazards.
- SmellStop Deluxe Lining: A specialised antibacterial and anti-odour lining that maintains a hygienic internal environment, significantly reducing unpleasant scents after a long shift.
- Water-Resistant Upper: The upper material is designed to prevent water penetration, ensuring your feet remain dry when working in damp or outdoor conditions.
- Heel Shock Absorption: Designed to dissipate energy at the heel, this feature reduces the physical impact on your joints and helps prevent fatigue during extended periods of standing.
Design & Performance
The Prado S3 SRC features an AirTech single-density outsole, which is a key component of its anti-fatigue design. This technology allows for a sole that is both lightweight in feel and highly flexible, despite the shoe being a substantial, sturdy choice for the workplace. The outsole is also resistant to hydrocarbons, making it a safe option for environments where oils and fuels are present. With its SRC-certified slip resistance, the shoe offers superior grip on both ceramic and steel surfaces, providing peace of mind on slippery floors.
Why No Customisation?
We provide the Prado S3 SRC as a non-customised item to ensure the absolute integrity of its safety certifications. Adding embroidery or heat-applied logos to the upper of a safety shoe can compromise the water-resistant membrane and potentially weaken the structural materials. To ensure you receive the full protection guaranteed by the EN ISO standards, we supply this footwear in its original, tested form.
Use Cases
This footwear is an excellent choice for individuals working in warehousing, light industry, and transport. The inclusion of both men’s and women’s width considerations ensures a proper fit for a wide range of staff. It is particularly well-suited for site supervisors and tradespeople who move between office environments and active work zones where S3-rated protection is a mandatory requirement.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, we recommend considering the thickness of the socks you intend to wear. A dedicated work sock can improve the fit and enhance the moisture-wicking properties of the SmellStop lining. Because this is a substantial, sturdy shoe, ensure the laces are tightened correctly to allow the shock-absorbing heel to function at its most efficient level. If you are frequently between sizes, the generous build of this shoe typically accommodates a standard fit well.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and protective qualities of your safety shoes, regular cleaning is vital. We recommend wiping the uppers with a damp cloth after each shift to remove dirt, dust, and any chemical residues. Allowing dirt to build up can cause the materials to dry out and crack, eventually compromising the water-resistant properties of the shoe.
Always allow the shoes to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can damage the adhesives used in the AirTech sole and cause the upper materials to become brittle. By keeping the interior dry and clean, you ensure the antibacterial SmellStop lining remains effective for the life of the footwear.
