S3 SAFETY STANDARD WORK SHOES: WHERE AND WHY?

Safety footwear classified under the S3 safety standard is the most comprehensive type of footwear from a safety perspective, and together with S1P footwear, it is the most widely used category worldwide. It represents nearly 70% of the entire safety footwear market.

But the real feature that differentiates the S3 standard from all other safety footwear standards is the presence of two very important distinguishing features:

• Waterproofing

This type of protection is achieved by incorporating or using technologies that make the upper water-repellent, preventing water from penetrating for up to 60 minutes of complete immersion. Consequently, we can immediately understand how important this evaluation term is for a worker who carries out their duties outdoors with the risk of rain or for those who work indoors but with high humidity.

• Puncture-resistant midsole

This is mandatory and essential protection in many workplaces and, in any case, whenever certain machinery or tools are used.

In questo quadro si rispecchiano davvero moltissime figure professionali: dall’operaio edile al geometra, dall’ingegnere all’agricoltore, dall’artigiano al falegname, dal meccanico all’operatore siderurgico e chi più ne ha più ne metta.

Thomas Jefferson said: "It is not wealth nor splendor, but tranquility and work, that give happiness."

Nothing could be more true: tranquility and work are the foundation of happiness. And if we wanted to be even more precise, we would say that tranquility at work is the foundation of happiness, for the worker and for his entire family.

So, let's use our heads and, when choosing our work shoes, think about the tasks we're called upon to perform!

Let's not forget that, in addition to being a necessary and indispensable protective tool, they are also the "container" that houses our feet for long hours every day: let's not overlook the additional features that can make a difference in terms of comfort!
