Product Overview
The Steelite Laced Safety Shoe S2 FO SR is a foundational element of professional safety footwear, specifically tailored for the rigours of the service and food production industries. This classic laced shoe prioritises a minimal design to ensure maximum practicality and durability. By adhering to the EN ISO 20345:2022 S2 standard, it provides essential protection against impact and compression, whilst the water-resistant upper ensures that your feet remain dry in damp environments.
Key Features
Padded collar: Offers enhanced comfort and support around the ankle, reducing the risk of chafing and fatigue during long shifts.
Water-resistant microfibre upper: This material provides a vital barrier against liquids, ensuring the wearer remains comfortable and the shoe maintains its integrity in wet conditions.
Mono PU outsole: The single-density polyurethane sole provides reliable traction and slip resistance, which is critical on the smooth, often slick surfaces found in kitchens and laboratories.
Classic laced closure: Allows for a secure and adjustable fit, ensuring the footwear stays firmly in place regardless of the pace of work.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-grade microfibre, this shoe offers a performance-driven alternative to traditional leather. Microfibre is inherently breathable and durable, yet lighter than many standard materials, contributing to a shoe that feels sturdy without being unnecessarily heavy. The single-density PU outsole is engineered for flexibility and energy absorption in the heel area, which helps to mitigate the impact of walking on hard floors for extended periods.
The sleek, black aesthetic is designed to be unobtrusive, making it ideal for front-of-house roles where a professional appearance must be maintained alongside strict safety protocols. The minimal stitching reduces trap points for dirt and bacteria, a crucial consideration for hygiene-sensitive environments.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), this shoe is designed to meet specific safety certifications. We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on this product because any structural alteration could compromise the integrity of the water-resistant upper or interfere with the safety standards it is certified to meet. Our priority is ensuring that your protective gear performs exactly as intended in a hazardous situation.
Use Cases
This footwear is particularly well-suited for professionals in the catering and hospitality sectors. It is the preferred choice for chefs, kitchen porters, and catering assistants who require slip resistance and fluid protection. Additionally, it is an excellent option for bakers, butchers, and those working in food processing facilities where hygiene and safety are paramount.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, we recommend ensuring there is a small amount of space at the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot expansion throughout the day. Safety shoes are generally more rigid than standard footwear, so wearing them with a high-quality work sock can improve the initial break-in period and provide additional cushioning.
Caring for your product
To maintain the safety performance and longevity of your microfibre shoes, regular maintenance is essential. Neglecting the cleanliness of the upper can lead to the material drying out or losing its water-resistant properties over time.
We recommend wiping the shoes clean with a damp cloth after each shift to remove any chemical or organic residues. If the shoes become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. You must avoid placing them directly on a radiator or using high heat sources, as this can cause the microfibre to become brittle and may affect the bond of the PU sole.
Regularly check the outsole for any trapped debris. Keeping the tread clear is vital for maintaining the slip-resistant properties of the shoe and ensuring your safety on slick surfaces.
