Product Overview
The Composite Action Leather Low Shoe (FC19) represents a sophisticated approach to industrial footwear, blending the safety requirements of a high-specification work boot with the agility of a low-profile shoe. Engineered for environments where precision and safety are equally paramount, this S3S rated shoe features a robust action leather upper and a high-performance PU/Rubber outsole. Its design is specifically focused on providing comprehensive protection against common workplace hazards, including heat, static discharge, and fluid penetration, without the cumbersome bulk of traditional heavy-duty boots.
Key Features
- Heat Resistant Outsole (HRO): Tested to withstand high temperatures, the outsole provides a critical barrier when working on heated surfaces, ensuring the structural integrity of the shoe remains intact.
- ESD Properties: These shoes are designed to dissipate static electricity, protecting sensitive electronic components and preventing sparks in volatile environments.
- Superior Slip Resistance (SR): The engineered tread pattern offers exceptional grip, significantly reducing the risk of slips on both smooth and uneven surfaces.
- Water and Fuel Oil Resistance: The action leather upper and technical outsole are resistant to fuel oil and water, ensuring your feet stay dry and the materials do not degrade when exposed to industrial fluids.
- Integrated Scuff Cap (SC): An added layer of protection at the toe prevents premature wear and tear, extending the lifespan of the footwear in demanding roles.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a dual-density PU/Rubber outsole, these shoes offer a balanced combination of cushioning and durability. The rubber outer layer provides the necessary resistance to heat and chemicals, while the internal structure ensures comfort during long shifts on your feet. The action leather upper is a substantial, sturdy material that provides a professional appearance while standing up to the rigours of daily trade use. Internally, the shoe is designed to facilitate agility; the engineered tread pattern isn't just for grip—it is designed to allow for natural movement on uneven terrain, making it an excellent choice for those who are constantly on the move.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of safety footwear, this item is sold without customisation. Altering the structure of the shoe through embroidery or heat-applied transfers can compromise the integrity of the materials and may invalidate the safety certifications, such as the S3S and ESD ratings. To ensure your protection remains absolute, we provide these as-is, focusing entirely on their functional performance.
Use Cases
This footwear is ideally suited for professionals in the catering and hospitality sectors, particularly those working in busy kitchens where floor surfaces may be slick or hot. It is also an excellent choice for bakers and butchers who require water resistance and slip protection. Furthermore, the ESD properties make it suitable for cleanrooms or electronics manufacturing environments where static control is a necessity.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please consider the type of work socks you intend to wear. For footwear used in active environments, a moisture-wicking sock is recommended to work in tandem with the shoe's breathability. Ensure the laces are tied securely to allow the engineered tread to provide maximum stability on uneven ground.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety characteristics of your footwear, regular maintenance is essential. Neglecting the leather can lead to drying and cracking, which will eventually compromise the water-resistant properties of the shoe.
We recommend cleaning the shoes after each shift using a damp cloth to remove any debris, grease, or fuel oil. For the action leather, a specialist leather cleaner or conditioner can be used periodically to keep the material supple. Avoid drying the shoes near direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the leather to become brittle and may affect the adhesives in the outsole.
The outsole should be checked regularly for any trapped stones or debris that could impair the slip-resistant tread pattern. Ensuring the tread is clear will maintain the shoe's grip performance on slippery surfaces.
