Consider the level of protection for your safety boots
When it comes to selecting the right safety boots, understanding footwear safety codes is essential. These codes indicate the protective features of the boots, ensuring that they meet specific workplace safety standards. Each code represents particular protective qualities designed to safeguard against different workplace hazards, from falling objects to slippery surfaces or extreme temperatures. By understanding these codes, you can ensure your safety boots offer the necessary protection based on your work environment. The safety rating of the work boots can be divided into a number of categories, where the most common ones include:
SB
SB safety shoes meet the most basic protective requirements, offering a protective toe cap to safeguard against impacts. However, they’re not penetration resistant and don’t necessarily require a closed heel.
S1, S1P and S1PS
S1 offers protection from static electricity, toe protection and slip resistance for indoor environments. S1P includes all the features of S1 with added puncture resistance to protect against sharp objects. S1PS includes all S1P features plus electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for sensitive environments.
S2
Safety boots with an S2 rating offer increased protection compared to S1-rated footwear. In addition to toe protection and energy absorption, S2 boots feature water-resistant capabilities.
S3
Work boots with a S3 safety rating combine the features of S2 boots with puncture resistance as an additional protection feature to make them suitable for tough, hazardous work environments.
S4
S4-rated work boots are much like S2 boots, but they’re fully waterproof, which makes them ideal for working in submerged conditions.
S5
S5-rated work boots have the waterproof features of S4 but take it one step further with puncture-resistant soles. A great option for outdoor work where you face sharp objects, water and rough terrain.
S6
Designed for cold environments, S6-rated safety boots keep your feet warm with thermal protection while also offering water resistance and toe protection.
S7
S7 work boots combine the features of S3 with cold insulation, waterproofing and puncture resistance. With extra grip and support, they’re built for the most extreme conditions.

Keep your feet from slipping with slip-resistant safety boots
Slip resistance (SR) is an essential safety feature in work boots, especially in environments where slips, trips and falls are a risk. The EN ISO 20345: 2022 standard has introduced key updates to slip-resistant ratings. SRA is now a mandatory requirement for all safety footwear, tested on ceramic tiles coated with sodium lauryl sulphate. The new SR rating offers enhanced slip resistance on ceramic tiles coated with glycerine, providing better protection in oily or greasy conditions.
Water-resistant and waterproof safety boots
At ITS, we offer a wide range of water-resistant and waterproof safety boots, ensuring that you stay comfortable and protected, even in wet and challenging work environments. Water-resistant safety boots provide a level of protection against light rain or moisture, making them suitable for environments where you may encounter occasional wet conditions. These boots offer protection against splashes or light puddles but are not fully sealed against prolonged water exposure. They are ideal for dry to moderately damp environments, keeping your feet dry during typical workdays in mild weather. Waterproof safety boots, on the other hand, are fully sealed, preventing water from entering the boot even during heavy rain or when walking through deep puddles. These boots are typically equipped with special membranes or coatings that provide a waterproof barrier, ensuring your feet stay completely dry, no matter how wet the conditions are.
Protect your toes with steel-toe cap work boots
Steel-toe cap work boots are a must-have for anyone working in high-risk environments where proper foot protection is essential. These boots feature a robust steel toe cap designed to shield your feet from heavy impacts, compression and falling objects. You can choose a large variety of steel-toe cap work boots among our selection of safety boots.
Tips for finding the ideal pair of safety boots for you
Choosing the right safety boots starts with understanding the specific demands of your job. For construction workers, boots with steel-toe caps and puncture-resistant soles are essential to protect against impacts and sharp objects. Comfort is also crucial for all-day wear. Look for safety footwear with cushioned insoles and proper arch support to reduce foot fatigue and strain. If you spend long hours on your feet, boots with ankle support and padded interiors will provide additional comfort and help decrease the risk of injury.
