Product Overview
The Rocket S3 ESD SRC from the Oxford collection is a high-specification safety shoe designed for those who require precision protection without compromising on comfort. This low shoe is a substantial piece of footwear, built to withstand the rigours of industrial environments while maintaining a professional appearance in black. It is engineered with a focus on both physical safety and the protection of sensitive electronic components through its ESD capabilities.
Key Features
- SpaceCap Toe Cap: This 200-joules resistant toe cap provides essential protection against impact and compression, ensuring your feet are shielded from falling objects or heavy equipment.
- Fresh’n Flex Puncture Resistant Sole: The integrated midsole prevents sharp objects from piercing the sole, offering peace of mind when navigating sites where debris may be present.
- SmellStop Deluxe Lining: This antibacterial and anti-odour lining works to keep the interior of the shoe fresh and hygienic, even during long, demanding shifts.
- Water-Resistant Upper: The AirTech single density upper is designed to prevent water penetration, keeping your feet dry and the footwear durable in damp conditions.
- ESD Protection: Specifically designed to protect electronic devices from electrostatic discharges, making these shoes indispensable in high-tech manufacturing and laboratory settings.
- Metal Detector Friendly: Being non-magnetic and free from nickel and ferrous materials, these shoes allow for seamless passage through security checkpoints.
Design & Performance
The Rocket S3 is constructed with an AirTech single density upper and outsole, providing a stable and sturdy foundation for the wearer. Despite its robust nature, the design incorporates shock absorption in the heel region to reduce fatigue during prolonged periods of standing or walking. The shoe is hydrocarbon resistant, ensuring the sole remains intact when exposed to oils and fuels, which is a critical requirement for many automotive and industrial roles.
The internal architecture is where performance meets comfort. The Fresh’n Flex midsole provides puncture resistance without the stiffness often associated with traditional safety footwear, allowing for natural foot movement. This is a solidly constructed shoe that feels substantial on the foot, reflecting its high level of protection and the quality of the materials used in its construction.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Rocket S3 ESD SRC safety shoe because any modification to the upper or structural components could compromise the safety certifications. Embroidery or heat-applied logos might interfere with the water-resistant properties or the specific electrostatic discharge (ESD) conductivity levels required for the shoe to function correctly as PPE. To ensure your safety and compliance with ISO standards, these shoes are supplied in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
These shoes are ideally suited for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, data centres, and sensitive laboratory environments where ESD protection is mandatory. Their metal-detector-friendly design also makes them an excellent choice for airport staff or those working in high-security logistics hubs. Furthermore, the S3 rating ensures they are robust enough for general light engineering and warehouse management where water resistance and puncture protection are required.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a specialist in the trade since 1976. Operating from our base in Telford, we have spent decades refining our understanding of what makes high-quality technical footwear. We select products like the Rocket S3 because they meet the exacting standards our customers expect, backed by our long-standing heritage of expertise in the workwear industry.
Practical Advice
The Rocket S3 is designed to a men's width fit. When choosing your size, consider that safety footwear often benefits from being paired with high-quality technical socks. A moisture-wicking sock will work in tandem with the SmellStop lining to provide the best possible internal environment for your feet. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend ensuring there is enough room for the toes to move freely behind the SpaceCap protector.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your safety footwear, it is essential to keep the outer material clean. Accumulated dirt and grime can eventually degrade the water-resistant properties of the AirTech upper and may interfere with the ESD conductivity of the outsole. Wipe the shoes down regularly with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary.
Never dry your safety shoes by placing them directly on a radiator or using extreme heat sources. This can cause the materials to become brittle and may lead to cracking or the failure of the adhesive bonds. Instead, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Regular inspection of the tread is also advised to ensure the SRC slip resistance and ESD properties remain effective as the sole wears over time.
