Safety Boots

Safety boots are available in different protection classes such as S1, S2, S3 and S7. The right classification depends on the hazards in your workplace, including whether you need features such as water resistance, penetration resistance or additional sole protection. Always check your workplace risk assessment and the individual product specification before choosing.

These classifications indicate different combinations of protective features. In general, S1 footwear includes basic safety features such as toe protection and a closed heel, while S2 adds water resistance to the upper and S3 adds further protection such as resistance to penetration through the sole. Individual products may include additional features, so check the full specification before ordering.

Ankle boots offer a lower profile and greater freedom of movement, while mid and high-leg boots provide additional coverage around the ankle and lower leg. The best choice depends on the working environment, required support and personal preference.

Some safety boots are designed with features such as cold insulation, waterproof protection, slip-resistant soles and higher-leg construction for outdoor and colder working conditions. Check the individual product specifications to make sure the boot is suitable for the conditions in which it will be worn.
