Product Overview
The Composite Nubuck Leather Low Shoe (FC61) represents a sophisticated approach to workplace safety, blending the aesthetic of a professional shoe with the rigorous requirements of S3S protection. Crafted from high-quality nubuck leather, this shoe provides a water-resistant barrier that is essential for maintaining foot health in wet or damp climates. Unlike traditional bulky safety boots, this low-profile design offers a more streamlined look without compromising on the technical standards required for hazardous environments.
Key Features
- S3S Safety Rating: This ensures comprehensive protection with a safety toecap and puncture-resistant midsole, shielding the foot from impact and sharp objects.
- Heat Resistant Outsole (HRO): The outsole is designed to withstand high temperatures, providing an extra layer of safety on hot surfaces.
- Water Resistant Upper: The treated nubuck leather prevents water ingress, keeping the wearer comfortable throughout long shifts in unpredictable conditions.
- Fuel and Oil Resistance (FO): The dual-density sole is engineered to resist degradation when in contact with oils and fuels, extending the lifespan of the footwear.
- Slip Resistance (SR): Specifically tested to provide superior grip on various surfaces, reducing the risk of slips and falls in the workplace.
Design & Performance
The construction of this shoe focuses on long-term durability and wearer comfort. The upper is made from premium nubuck leather, which offers a supple feel while maintaining the robustness required for daily professional use. Performance is further enhanced by the dual-density PU/Rubber outsole. This combination utilizes the shock-absorbing qualities of PU for comfort, paired with the hard-wearing, heat-resistant properties of rubber. The result is a substantial, sturdy shoe that supports the foot through demanding physical tasks while adhering to EN ISO 20345:2022 standards.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on this specific item to ensure the integrity of its safety certifications. Safety footwear is a precision-engineered piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Applying embroidery would puncture the water-resistant leather membrane, while heat-applied logos could potentially damage the technical finishes of the nubuck or the structural adhesives. To ensure you remain fully protected and compliant with safety regulations, we supply these shoes in their original, manufacturer-tested condition.
Use Cases
These shoes are an excellent choice for professionals in the catering and kitchen industries, including bakers and butchers, where slip resistance and water protection are paramount. The smart black nubuck finish also makes them highly suitable for front-of-house staff in hotels, bars, and restaurants who require a professional appearance alongside the safety of a reinforced toecap.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this shoe features a composite toecap which does not flex or 'wear in' like the rest of the leather. We recommend ensuring there is adequate room for your toes to move freely from day one. If you are between sizes, or plan to wear thick thermal socks, it may be prudent to consider the larger option to maintain circulation during long periods of standing.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your safety shoes, it is vital to clean them regularly. Use a dedicated nubuck brush to remove surface dust and debris. If the shoes become heavily soiled, a damp cloth may be used, but you must avoid saturating the leather as this can lead to stiffness and cracking.
Never dry your footwear near a direct heat source, such as a radiator or heater. Excessive heat can cause the nubuck leather to dry out too quickly and become brittle, and it may also compromise the bond of the dual-density outsole. Always allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space. Periodic treatment with a water-repellent spray designed for nubuck will help maintain the S3S water-resistant properties.
