The Portwest S3 safety shoe, model FD37, is a metal-free safety shoe specially designed for professionals working in challenging conditions. This robust shoe offers excellent protection and comfort in the workplace. Thanks to its advanced materials, the model is ideal for intensive daily use in various industrial sectors where safety and reliability are paramount.
For which specific work environments is this Portwest S3 safety shoe suitable?
This safety shoe is ideally suited for ESD-sensitive environments where electrostatic discharges can cause damage to electronic components, in compliance with the IEC 61340-5-1:2016 standard.
Thanks to the heat-resistant outsole, which withstands contact temperatures up to 300 degrees Celsius, the shoe also performs excellently in metalworking and road construction. Additionally, the improved tread pattern ensures stable grip on uneven terrain in construction and logistics, while the fuel and oil-resistant sole provides extra safety in the petrochemical industry.
What do the S3 and ESD standards mean for this S3 safety shoe?
The EN ISO 20345 S3 standard guarantees that this shoe is equipped with a protective composite toecap and a puncture-resistant midsole, combined with a water-repellent upper and an energy-absorbing heel.
The ESD certification according to IEC 61340-5-1:2016 ensures controlled dissipation of electrostatic charges through the sole to the ground. This prevents damage to sensitive equipment. The HRO designation indicates that the outsole is resistant to extreme heat, while the SRC standard stands for the highest slip resistance on both ceramic and steel surfaces.
The slanted top rim offers optimal freedom of movement for the legs. The padded collar, bellows tongue, and protective TPU scuff cap provide extra comfort and durability.
