Frequently Asked Questions
What do S1, S3 and S5 safety boot ratings mean?
These are EN ISO 20345 safety ratings. S1 offers basic protection, S3 adds penetration resistant midsoles and is most commonly required on Irish construction sites, and S5 is for wet or heavy industrial environments.
Do you stock metal free safety boots?
Yes, our No Risk range includes metal free safety boots suitable for utility and airport workers.
What safety boot rating is required for general construction in Ireland?
S3 is the most commonly requested standard on Irish construction sites, though requirements can vary by site and employer.
What is the difference between a steel toe and composite toe safety boot?
Steel toe caps offer strong impact protection at a lower cost, while composite toe caps are lighter, non conductive and better suited to electrical or metal detector sensitive environments.
Are safety boots required to be waterproof for Irish site conditions?
Waterproofing is not always mandatory but is strongly recommended for Irish outdoor site conditions, look for boots with a waterproof membrane if working outdoors regularly.
How often should safety boots be replaced?
Safety boots should be replaced when the sole tread wears down, the toe cap is damaged, or the boot no longer offers a secure fit, typically every 6 to 12 months with daily site use.
