Product Overview
The Composite Slip On Shoe S3S SR FO represents a sophisticated approach to safety footwear, designed for professionals who require high levels of protection without the cumbersome weight of traditional steel components. This shoe combines the rigorous EN ISO 20345:2022 S3S safety standard with a practical slip-on design, ensuring that safety and convenience go hand-in-hand. The absence of metallic components makes it an excellent choice for environments requiring metal-free gear, while the integrated elastic strap ensures a secure, comfortable fit for long shifts on your feet.
Key Features
Composite Safety Components: The puncture-resistant non-metallic midsole and composite toe protection offer comprehensive shielding against sharp objects and impact, significantly reducing the overall weight compared to steel alternatives.
Dual Density PU/PU Outsole: This specialised sole construction provides superior energy absorption in the heel area, reducing fatigue during extended periods of standing or walking on hard surfaces.
Slip-On Design with Elastic Strap: The inclusion of a robust elastic strap allows for hassle-free wear, providing a snug fit that adapts to the movement of your foot without the need for laces.
Action Leather Upper: Utilising high-quality action leather ensures a durable exterior that stands up to the rigours of a professional environment while remaining flexible enough for comfort.
Design & Performance
Engineered for performance in demanding settings, this shoe features a dual-density PU/PU outsole that is specifically designed for slip resistance (SR) and resistance to fuel oil (FO). This ensures stability on various floor types, which is critical in fast-paced industrial or culinary environments. The lightweight construction does not compromise on durability; the materials are chosen for their ability to withstand daily wear while maintaining a professional appearance. The non-metallic nature of the safety elements also means the shoe is less conductive to cold, keeping your feet at a more consistent temperature than steel-toed versions.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat transfers, on this specific item because it is a piece of certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Altering the upper material through stitching or high-heat processes could potentially compromise the structural integrity and the safety certifications of the shoe. To ensure your protection remains at the level required by EN ISO 20345:2022 standards, we provide these shoes in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
These shoes are particularly well-suited for professionals working in hygiene-sensitive and high-activity areas. This includes commercial kitchens, bakeries, and butcheries, where slip resistance and easy-clean surfaces are paramount. They are equally effective for those in the hotel, bar, and restaurant sectors who require the safety of a work shoe but prefer the understated, professional look of a black slip-on.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the thickness of the socks you intend to wear, as safety footwear requires a precise fit to ensure the protective midsole and toe cap are correctly positioned. Because these are slip-on shoes, ensuring a snug fit around the heel is important to prevent rubbing. If you find yourself between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the size that provides enough room for your toes to move freely without the foot sliding forward.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety footwear is essential for ensuring both longevity and continued performance of the safety features. We recommend regularly cleaning the action leather uppers with a damp cloth to remove dirt and contaminants. Allowing dirt to build up can cause the leather to dry out and crack over time, which may weaken the shoe's structure.
If the shoes become wet, they should be allowed to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Forced drying can cause the leather to become brittle and the adhesives in the sole to degrade. Regularly inspecting the outsoles for trapped debris will also help maintain the slip-resistant properties of the PU/PU material.
