FAQs
What does S3 SRC ESD compliance mean?
S3 indicates protection against water penetration and absorption, a composite or non-metallic toecap, and an anti-perforation midsole. SRC signifies the highest level of slip resistance. ESD means the footwear is designed to reduce static electricity build-up, which is crucial in sensitive environments.
Are these boots waterproof?
The S3 rating includes protection against water penetration, meaning they offer good resistance in damp conditions. However, they are not fully submersible waterproof boots. The Wingtex® lining prioritizes breathability.
Can I wear these boots for everyday casual use?
While designed for comfort, their primary purpose is safety in demanding work environments. The robust construction and safety features might make them less ideal for casual wear compared to specialized casual footwear.
What is the benefit of the 'no metal' anti-perforation system?
The Save & Flex Plus system uses textile materials, offering protection without the rigidity or potential conductivity of a metal plate. This can be more comfortable and is beneficial in environments with metal detectors.
How do I choose the correct size?
The boots feature a Natural Confort 11 Mondopoint fit. It is recommended to measure your foot according to standard sizing guides or consult the brand's specific sizing chart to find the best UK size. Ensure a snug but not tight fit.
What is the advantage of the PU / PU High Rebound sole?
This sole technology, utilizing Elastopan by BASF, is designed to be lightweight and provide excellent cushioning and energy return with every step, reducing foot fatigue during long working hours.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff on first wear
The PUTEK® PLUS upper is designed for durability and may require a short break-in period. Wear the boots for a few hours each day for the first week to allow them to mold to your feet.
Feet feel unusually warm or damp
Ensure socks are made of breathable, moisture-wicking material. Check that the Wingtex® lining is not obstructed by debris. Allow boots to air dry completely after use.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
The SRC rating indicates excellent slip resistance, but extreme conditions can still pose a risk. Ensure the sole tread is clear of mud, oil, or other contaminants that can affect grip.
Visible wear on the PUTEK® PLUS upper
While highly abrasion-resistant, excessive friction can eventually cause wear. Clean the area and consider if the specific work task is exceeding the intended durability of the material. Regular cleaning can help maintain the material's integrity.

Care: To maintain the boots' performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the PUTEK® PLUS upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
