Product Overview
The Steelite Albus Laced Boot S2 FO SR is a professional-grade safety solution designed for environments where hygiene and protection are paramount. Offering safety at an affordable price point, this boot combines a clean aesthetic with the rigorous technical requirements of the EN ISO 20345:2022 S2 standard. It is specifically engineered for those working in the catering, janitorial, and medical sectors where spills and slips are common hazards. The substantial build provides a sense of security without unnecessary bulk.
Key Features
- Integrated Safety Toecap: Provides vital protection against impact and compression, ensuring the feet remain safe in high-traffic or industrial environments.
- Water-Resistant Microfibre Upper: Prevents the penetration of liquids, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable while making the boots significantly easier to clean.
- Slip-Resistant Dual Density Outsole: Offers superior grip on slippery surfaces, which is essential for maintaining safety on wet or oily floors.
- Antistatic Construction: Helps dissipate electrostatic charges, protecting both the wearer and sensitive electronic equipment in specialised work zones.
- Fuel and Oil Resistant Outsole: Ensures the integrity of the sole is not compromised when in contact with common industrial chemicals or lubricants.
Design & Performance
Crafted from a high-quality water-resistant microfibre, the Steelite Albus is built for endurance in demanding conditions. The single-density PU (polyurethane) outsole provides an excellent balance between a sturdy, stable platform and a comfortable feel underfoot. Being a laced boot, it offers a secure, adjustable fit that supports the ankle throughout long, active shifts. The white finish is a practical requirement in professions like butchery or baking, where cleanliness is visually monitored and strictly enforced. The material's ability to resist water penetration means that even in wet janitorial roles, the structural integrity of the boot remains intact over time.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on the Steelite Albus Laced Boot. This is because these boots are technical pieces of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Altering the upper material with needles or heat-press machinery could compromise the water-resistant properties and the structural safety certifications of the footwear. To ensure you remain fully protected and compliant with health and safety regulations, these boots are supplied in their original, tested state.
Use Cases
These boots are ideally suited for professionals in the catering and kitchen industries, as well as butchers and bakers who require white safety footwear for hygiene compliance. The laced design also makes them an excellent choice for janitorial staff who need a secure fit while navigating wet floors. They are equally at home in laboratory or medical settings where antistatic properties and liquid resistance are mandatory requirements.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the thickness of the socks you intend to wear, as a secure fit is essential for the effectiveness of the safety toecap and slip-resistant sole. As these are sturdy boots, we recommend a short break-in period to allow the microfibre to mould to your foot shape for maximum comfort during long shifts.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety footwear is essential to ensure it continues to provide the level of protection you require. We recommend cleaning the microfibre uppers regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allowing dirt or organic matter to build up can degrade the material over time, potentially leading to cracks that compromise the boot's water resistance.
Always allow your boots to dry naturally at room temperature. Placing them directly on or near a heater can cause the PU outsole and microfibre upper to become brittle, which may lead to premature failure of the materials. Finally, inspect the tread of the outsoles periodically; once the pattern is significantly worn, the slip-resistant properties are diminished, and it is time to replace the pair for your own safety.
