What is the difference between S3 and S3S safety shoes?
S3 safety shoes offer a high level of general protection: waterproof, anti-static, shock- and puncture-resistant, with an anti-slip sole. S3S goes one step further by ensuring the puncture barrier is non-metallic (metal detector-friendly) and tested with a 3mm standard, offering comfort, lightweight design, and protection against smaller sharp objects.
We’ve outlined the differences below.
| Feature | S3 | S3S (specific) |
|---|---|---|
| Safety toe cap | Yes | Yes |
| Closed heel + Anti-static | Yes | Yes |
| Energy-absorbing heel | Yes | Yes |
| Waterproof shaft | Yes | Yes |
| Puncture-resistant midsole | Yes | Yes (non-metal, tested to 3mm standard) |
