Safety Standards
If you’re not in the know, some of the European Standards for safety shoes can trip you up. We carry 3 options in our work collection, click below to find out how they differ.
SB Safety Standards
SB stands for Safety Basic, but what does that mean exactly? It’s good news for your toes which have full protection against a 200-joule impact – To you and me, that means you’re protected if you accidentally drop up to 20kg on your foot.

S1P Safety Standards
S1P standard safety shoes come with an impressive package of anti-static, oil-resistant and energy absorbing properties, as well as a fortified puncture-proof mid-sole that will protect your foot should you ever stand on a nail.

S3 Safety Standards
S3 is the magic number when it comes to safety shoes and boots. This exacting standard means footwear comes with everything you get with S1P – anti-static, resistance to fuel and oil, energy absorbing heels and a penetration-resistant mid-sole – and, even better, you get water resistance to boot.

Materials
Full Grain Leather
We use quality leathers that are taken from the outer-most section of the hide, full grain leather has not been sanded or buffed.
Nubuck Leather
In comparison to suede, nubuck is stronger and more durable, because it is made from the top layer of the hide.
To keep leather in good quality, use polish. If wet, allow leathers to dry naturally. Insert a shoe tree or rolled up paper to help keep the shape when drying. Do not place on a radiator as this may affect the leather.
Dirt should be allowed to dry naturally. Once dry use a soft brush or cloth to remove the dirt. Brush in a circular motion to lift the nap but avoid staying in the same area for too long. Brushing on a regular basis will help to keep the nubuck in good condition.
