Safety Shoes S2

Wet, but no nails

There are plenty of workplaces where the floor is wet but nothing sharp is lying around: a scullery, a dairy company, a cleaning crew or a care home. That's exactly what S2 is for. The upper is tested for water penetration, the construction is anti-static and the heel absorbs shocks, but the penetration-resistant sole of S3 is missing, which saves weight and flexibility.

Water-repellent is not waterproof

S2 means the leather or textile barely lets water through during a test period. If you stand in water for hours, the shoe will still fill up and you'll need an S4 or S5 boot. Regular cleaning and waterproofing keep the water-repellent effect intact for much longer.

Veelgestelde vragen

When do you choose S2 instead of S3?

S2 does have a water-repellent upper but no penetration-resistant sole. That's exactly what you need in, for example, the food industry, healthcare or cleaning: wet floors, but no nails. Where there is a penetration risk, choose S3.

How long does an S2 shoe stay water-repellent?

The test measures water penetration over a set period; in practice the effect decreases as the leather dries out and gets dirty. Regular cleaning and greasing or waterproofing keeps the property intact for much longer.
