What are S3 work shoes?
Work shoes are assessed based on the standards set out in the EN 20345 standard. According to this standard, the shoes can be classified into different safety classes, of which S3 is the highest for safety shoes. Higher classes only exist for work boots. If the work shoes you have in mind have the S3 standard, this means that the shoes are made of water-repellent materials, have a shock-absorbing heel and have a profile in the outsole for extra grip on the ground surface. Furthermore, S3 work shoes have a midsole made of steel or Kevlar that prevents penetration by sharp tools and objects with a force of up to at least 1100 N.
And those are just the features that only S3 work shoes have; only the midsole can also be found in S1P work shoes. Like all other work shoes with an S standard, S3 safety shoes have a protective toe cap. This toe can be made of plastic, but it can also be work boots with steel toes. The material is not important for protection; In any case, work shoes with a protective toe protect against an impact of 200 J, which in practice corresponds to a 20 kilo object falling on it. Furthermore, all standardized work shoes are antistatic and have a closed heel.
The EN 20345 standard is valid throughout the European Union. If you have branches abroad and work shoes with a certain safety class are mandatory there, you can simply purchase these work shoes from us for all your branches. This is not only easy, but also a cheaper option than buying work shoes separately for each branch.
Grisport S3 work boots
All too often we notice that work shoes are subject to certain prejudices. The safety of work shoes is not under discussion, but there is still a lot of belief that work shoes are heavy and not very comfortable. The Grisport range proves that comfort and safety can simply go hand in hand. Some of our bestsellers, such as the Grisport 803 S3 and the lightweight work shoes from the Grisport Cross Safety collection, contain all the protective properties that S3 work shoes should have without sacrificing your comfort. After all, you have to wear your work shoes all day long.
Walking comfort is something that the Italian Grisport has been concerned with even longer than protective properties. The company was founded in 1977 by brothers Graziano and Mario Grigolato to produce leather mountain hiking boots. Within a short time, these hiking boots were loved by hikers all over the world. Around the turn of the century, Grisport thought it was time to combine the comfort of his mountain boots with the protection of safety shoes. Grisport could soon count on a lot of appreciation for this. Employees mainly choose Grisport work shoes because they can wear them without feeling like they are wearing protective footwear for the workplace.
