Product Overview
The Base Quasar/Cursa S1P SRC safety shoe, part of the Smart Evo collection, is a technical solution for professionals who require robust protection without the cumbersome profile of a traditional boot. Certified to EN ISO 20345: 2011 standards, this low-profile shoe is designed to provide comprehensive safety in a format that supports natural movement. It is a substantial, sturdy shoe that prioritises foot health and site safety through high-specification materials and thoughtful engineering.
Key Features
- 200 Joules resistant toe-cap: This integrated protective cap provides a critical defence against impact and compression, ensuring your toes are shielded from heavy falling objects or accidental crushing in the workplace.
- Puncture resistant sole: A reinforced mid-sole prevents sharp objects like nails or metal shards from penetrating the shoe, safeguarding the underside of the foot in hazardous environments.
- Metal Detector Friendly: Being entirely non-magnetic and free from nickel and ferrous materials, these shoes are ideal for individuals working in high-security areas or airports where frequent screening is required.
- Shock absorption in the heel: The specialised heel design manages energy return, significantly reducing fatigue and the risk of strain during long shifts on hard industrial flooring.
- Hydrocarbons resistant: The outsole is engineered to resist degradation when in contact with oils and chemicals, ensuring the structural integrity and grip of the shoe remain intact over time.
Design & Performance
The Quasar/Cursa is built for performance in environments where traction and stability are non-negotiable. The SRC slip resistance rating indicates that the sole has been tested on both ceramic tiles with SLS and steel floors with glycerol, providing the highest level of grip available. Despite its sturdy construction, the shoe maintains a professional aesthetic in a black and red colourway, suitable for front-of-house or technical roles alike.
Anti-static properties are built into the shoe to prevent the build-up of static electrical charges, which is a vital safety requirement in many electronic assembly and combustible environments. The fit is versatile, offered in both men’s and women’s widths to ensure the wearer remains comfortable throughout the working day.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-seal printing, on this product because it is a piece of safety footwear. Any physical alteration to the upper material of a safety shoe can compromise its structural integrity and safety certifications. To ensure your protection remains at the level specified by the manufacturer, these shoes are supplied exactly as they were tested and certified.
Use Cases
This footwear is specifically designed for professionals in light industry, warehouse management, and airport security. Because it is metal-free, it is particularly effective for those working in environments with metal detectors. It is also an excellent choice for tradespeople who require S1P level protection while working in workshops or on-site where sharp underfoot hazards are a concern.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the type of socks you will typically wear on-site, as a thicker work sock may require a slightly more generous fit. For those with specific ergonomic requirements, this shoe is compatible with orthopaedic made-to-measure footbeds that comply with European DGUV112-191 norms, allowing for a personalised fit without sacrificing safety standards.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of your safety shoes is not merely an aesthetic choice; it is essential for the longevity of the materials. Regularly removing dirt and debris from the outsole will ensure the slip-resistance remains effective. If the shoes become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area rather than placing them directly against a heat source, which can cause the materials to become brittle and crack.
Do not use harsh chemicals or bleaches to clean the shoes, as these can break down the hydrocarbon-resistant properties of the sole and the protective coatings of the upper. A simple wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap is usually sufficient to maintain the shoes' performance and appearance.
