Product Overview
The Xeno OB A E SRC is a specialized hygiene sandal designed for professionals who require a combination of cleanliness, comfort, and safety in controlled environments. Part of our dedicated Hygiene collection, this footwear is engineered to meet the EN ISO 20347:2012 standard for occupational footwear. Finished in a professional white, it is specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of sectors where hygiene is non-negotiable and slip resistance is a critical safety requirement.
Key Features
- Anti-static properties: The footwear is designed to discharge static electricity, preventing the accumulation of electrostatic charges and protecting both the wearer and sensitive electronic equipment.
- Heel shock absorption: Integrated cushioning in the heel region reduces the impact on joints during long shifts on hard floors, significantly lowering the risk of fatigue.
- Dual-width sizing: Available in both men’s and women’s widths, ensuring a more precise fit that enhances stability and comfort for a wider range of staff.
- SRC Slip Resistance: Tested for maximum slip resistance on both ceramic and steel surfaces, providing essential grip in environments prone to spills.
Design & Performance
The Xeno sandal features a single-density construction for both the upper and the outsole, creating a streamlined and lightweight feel that does not compromise on durability. The use of a suedeleather midsole provides a natural, breathable base for the foot, aiding in moisture management throughout the day. Because it is built for the hygiene sector, the materials are selected for their ability to withstand the repetitive cleaning cycles required in medical or food processing environments.
While lightweight in its construction, the performance is substantial. The absence of a toe cap (designated by the OB rating) makes the sandal more flexible and lighter than traditional safety boots, ideal for roles where impact protection isn't the primary concern, but underfoot safety and hygiene are paramount.
Why No Customisation?
This product is sold as-is without the option for customisation. We do not offer embroidery or printing on safety and hygiene footwear because the process could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the materials or provide areas where bacteria could accumulate. Maintaining the manufacturer's original finish ensures the footwear remains compliant with its safety certifications and hygiene standards.
Use Cases
The Xeno OB A E SRC is ideally suited for professionals working in hospitals, laboratories, and pharmaceutical environments. It is equally effective in the food industry, particularly in commercial kitchens and processing plants where white footwear is mandatory for visual cleanliness audits and where slip-resistant, anti-static properties are required for worker safety.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the width options provided to ensure the foot is properly supported without being constricted. For those working in hygiene-sensitive roles, we recommend wearing high-quality cotton or moisture-wicking socks to complement the suedeleather midsole, which will help in maintaining foot health and comfort during extended periods of standing.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your hygiene sandals, it is essential to follow a regular cleaning routine. Keeping the outer surface clean prevents the build-up of contaminants that could degrade the single-density material over time.
We recommend wiping the sandals down daily with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid the use of harsh chemicals or bleach unless specifically required by your workplace protocols, as these can dry out the materials and lead to cracking. Should the sandals become wet internally, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the sole and affect the fit.
Regularly inspect the tread of the outsole. Ensuring the SRC-rated grip remains free of debris is vital for maintaining the slip-resistant properties that keep you safe on the job.
