Product Overview
The Selfie S3 SRC from the Base Planet collection represents a sophisticated approach to safety footwear, combining the sleek profile of a low shoe with the rigorous protection required on-site. Designed for the professional who demands both comfort and compliance, this shoe integrates advanced anti-fatigue technology with high-grade safety components. It is not merely a shoe; it is a piece of technical equipment designed to support the foot through long shifts on demanding surfaces, ensuring you remain productive from the start of the day until the job is done.
Key Features
Aluminium Toe Cap: Provides essential 200-joule impact protection while remaining significantly lighter than traditional steel, reducing wearer fatigue during extended use.
Fresh’n Flex Puncture Resistance: A high-performance midsole that prevents sharp objects from penetrating the sole, ensuring underfoot safety without sacrificing flexibility.
Water-Resistant Upper: Engineered to prevent water penetration, keeping feet dry and comfortable in damp or unpredictable working conditions.
SmellStop Lining: An antibacterial and anti-odour treatment that maintains a hygienic internal environment, even after a full day on the job.
SRC Slip Resistance: The outsole is tested to the highest standards for grip, providing stability on both ceramic and steel surfaces.
Anti-static Properties: Designed to dissipate electrostatic charges, protecting both the wearer and sensitive equipment in the workplace.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Selfie S3 SRC is rooted in its AirTech + Tpu-Skin outsole. This patented technology allows for a reduction in the outsole thickness, creating more room for cushioning. The result is a shoe that offers superior shock absorption in the heel region, mimicking the feel of a trainer while providing the durability of a heavy-duty work boot. The Tpu-Skin layer ensures the outsole remains resistant to hydrocarbons and general wear, extending the lifespan of the footwear even in abrasive environments.
Inside, the SmellStop lining works constantly to prevent the buildup of bacteria. This is not just a luxury; it is a practical feature that preserves the integrity of the materials and ensures the shoes remain pleasant to wear day after day. The men’s width fit is specifically engineered to provide ample room for the foot to splay naturally, which is vital for maintaining balance and comfort during long periods of standing.
Why No Customisation?
As this is a certified piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation services such as embroidery or heat transfers on this item. Modifying the upper material could compromise the water-resistant properties or the structural integrity required to meet the UNI EN ISO 20345:2012 S3 standard. Our priority is your safety, and ensuring these shoes perform exactly as the manufacturer intended is paramount to maintaining your protection on-site.
Use Cases
The Selfie S3 SRC is perfectly suited for professionals in logistics, light construction, and automotive industries. Its discreet design makes it an excellent choice for those who move between the office and the warehouse or site, where S3 safety standards are a mandatory requirement. The anti-static properties also make it suitable for environments where sensitive electronic equipment is handled, such as specialist manufacturing or clean-room support.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been at the forefront of the UK workwear industry. Based in Telford, Shropshire, our decades of experience allow us to curate a range of products that meet the highest technical standards. We understand that workwear is an investment in your safety and comfort, and we apply our long-standing expertise to ensure every product we supply is fit for purpose and built to last.
Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit, we recommend pairing these shoes with high-quality work socks that provide moisture-wicking properties. This complements the SmellStop lining and enhances overall comfort. While the aluminium toe cap provides a lighter feel, please remember that safety footwear should fit securely around the heel and midfoot to prevent internal movement and potential blistering. Ensure laces are tied securely to maintain the effectiveness of the shock-absorbing heel.
Caring for your product
To maintain the safety performance and longevity of your footwear, regular cleaning is essential. Remove surface dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth after each shift. This prevents mud and chemicals from degrading the water-resistant upper or the technical outsole, which can lead to premature wear.
If the shoes become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources such as radiators or heaters. Forced drying can cause the technical materials and the Tpu-Skin to become brittle and crack, which may ultimately compromise the water resistance and reduce the lifespan of the shoe.
