What are S3 work shoes?
There are various safety standards for work shoes that show you exactly what protective properties the shoes have. Every shoe with a standard that starts with an S (for “safety”) has a protective toe cap. The toe of the shoe is reinforced, so that the wearer does not immediately break his toes if something falls on them. The first thing people think of is a steel toe cap and that makes perfect sense, because a steel toe cap is ideal for providing protection against impact in a very compact way. However, steel is not the only material that can be used for this. Other metal or even plastic noses can also cause this. Does a work shoe have a standard of SB or higher? The nose is then guaranteed to withstand an impact of 200 joules, which is equivalent to a load of about 20 kilos.
What safety standards do I need?
Of course, there is a difference between all safety standards. A S1P work shoe has a shock-absorbing heel and a closed heel and a S2 work shoe. In addition, it is made with an upper material that is water-repellent. A S1P work shoe does not have that upper material, but does have a plastic or steel midsole that prevents perforation up to a force of at least 1100 N. In addition, work shoes with all these standards are anti static. Does a work shoe have the S3 standard? Then the shoes have all these protective properties, they are completely resistant to perforation and they have a profiled outsole. An S3 work shoe therefore offers sufficient protection against all possible hazards in the workplace: heavy objects, sharp materials, cold liquids and incorrect postures do not stand a chance.

Comfortable S3 work shoes
Because people still often think of a steel toe when they think of protective shoes, it may seem as if S3 work shoes, due to all their protective properties, have so much stiff and immovable material that they do not fit comfortably. However, that does not have to be the case at all. First of all, the S3 standard is awarded based on the amount of protection and not the material from which the work shoes are made. If a plastic toe protects against an impact of 200 joules or more and plastic midsoles stop sharp points with a force of 1100 N, they are good S3 work shoes. S3 work shoes whose protective parts are made of plastic are often slightly larger, because more plastic is needed than steel for the same protection.
However, there are also exceptions to this. The most notable of these are work sneakers, like the Grisport Cross Safety collection. These shoes are compact and designed with maximum wearing comfort in mind. Many of the essential parts of these shoes are made of plastic, as plastic is more flexible than metal. Yet these safety sneakers are S3 work shoes. A further advantage of using plastic in work shoes is that plastic is less susceptible to the ambient temperature. If your work requires you to work in a cold location for several hours a day, such as a drafty warehouse without heating or a cold room, you will be significantly less likely to suffer from cold feet with plastic work shoes. On the other hand, S3 work shoes with steel parts generally cost less.

When ordering, keep in mind that not every S3 work shoe is equally suitable for every employee. S3 work shoes for women often have a slightly smaller fit than S3 work shoes for men, because women have smaller feet on average than men. We have also taken this into account in our range, so that you can assure every employee in your company the security and safety of a pair of S3 work shoes.
