Product Overview
The Steel Split Leather Low Shoe S1P SR is a foundational piece of safety footwear designed for professionals who require a balance of protection and agility. Constructed with a robust split leather upper, this shoe provides a dependable barrier against the daily rigours of the workplace. Its low-profile design ensures maximum mobility for the wearer, making it an excellent choice for those who are constantly on their feet, moving between different environments. Despite its sturdy construction, it remains remarkably lightweight, reducing the physical strain often associated with traditional safety boots.
Key Features
Integrated Steel Toecap: Provides critical protection against falling objects and compression, ensuring your feet remain safe in hazardous zones.
Protective Steel Midsole: Guards the sole of the foot against sharp objects underfoot, such as nails or debris, which is essential for busy work sites.
PU/PU Slip-Resistant Outsole: The dual-density polyurethane sole is engineered for superior grip (SR), significantly reducing the risk of slips on slick or uneven surfaces.
Energy Absorbing Heel: Minimises the impact on your joints during walking or jumping, providing enhanced comfort throughout a long working day.
Oil and Fuel Resistance: The outsole is specifically formulated to resist degradation from oils and hydrocarbons, ensuring the longevity of the shoe in industrial settings.
Design & Performance
The performance of this safety shoe lies in its material composition. The split leather upper offers a resilient yet breathable exterior that conforms to the foot over time. Paired with a dual-density PU outsole, the shoe provides a stable platform with excellent shock absorption properties. The interior is designed to manage moisture, helping to keep the foot cool. By adhering to the EN ISO 20345:2022 S1P standard, this shoe guarantees a high level of performance in environments where toe protection and puncture resistance are mandatory.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat transfers, on this specific product. Safety footwear is precision-engineered and certified as personal protective equipment (PPE). Any modification to the upper—such as puncturing the leather with needles or applying high heat—could compromise the structural integrity of the material or interfere with the safety certifications. We believe your safety should never be secondary to branding.
Use Cases
This shoe is highly versatile and particularly suited for the hospitality and catering industries, including kitchens, bakeries, and butcheries, where slip resistance is paramount. It is also an ideal choice for light industrial work, warehousing, and logistics, where workers need a substantial safety shoe that won't weigh them down during high-activity shifts.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure there is a small amount of room at the front of the shoe, as the steel toecap will not stretch or 'give' over time like standard leather. We recommend pairing these shoes with high-quality work socks to manage moisture and prevent friction during the initial breaking-in period.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective qualities and lifespan of your safety shoes, consistent care is necessary. Start by removing dirt and debris with a soft brush or damp cloth after every shift. Allowing mud to dry on split leather can draw out moisture, leading to premature cracking and a reduction in the material's protective capacity.
If the shoes become wet, allow them 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 fail. Periodically applying a suitable leather conditioner will help maintain the suppleness of the upper, ensuring the shoes remain comfortable and water-resistant for longer.
