What Do These Standards Mean?
These boots have the safety standard EN ISO 20345: 2011 S3. They also meet the requirements for HRO, CI, HI and FO footwear. Please read below to understand what this means in more detail:
- EN ISO 20345: 2011 S3 refers to a specific safety footwear standard that outlines the requirements and specifications for a particular type of safety boots. The "S" stands for "Safety" and indicates that the footwear provides basic toe protection, and the "3" represents additional features and requirements related to the footwear:
- Toe protection capable of withstanding impacts up to 200 joules
- Closed heel region
- Anti-static properties
- Energy absorption in the heel area
- Water resistance and penetration resistance
- HRO: HRO stands for Heat Resistant Outsole. It indicates that the outsole of the footwear is designed to provide resistance to high temperatures. This feature is particularly important for individuals working in industries where they may encounter hot surfaces or open flames.
- CI: CI stands for Cold Insulation. This feature indicates that the footwear is designed to provide insulation against cold temperatures. It helps to keep the feet warm and protected in cold environments.
- HI: HI stands for Heat Insulation. This feature indicates that the footwear is designed to provide insulation against heat. It helps to protect the feet from excessive heat exposure.
- FO: FO stands for Fuel Oil Resistance. This feature indicates that the outsole of the footwear is resistant to fuel oil. It is important for individuals working in industries where they may come into contact with fuel or oil spills.
These standards and classifications help users and employers select appropriate footwear that meets specific safety requirements based on the working conditions and hazards they may encounter.

Why are Steel Toe Caps Important?
These safety boots come with inbuilt steel toe caps, which have a variety of benefits including:
- Impact Protection: Steel toecaps are designed to withstand a significant amount of force and provide protection against heavy falling objects or accidental impacts. They act as a barrier between the toes and potential hazards, reducing the risk of fractures, bruises, or other foot injuries.
- Compression Resistance: In certain work environments, there is a risk of the feet being exposed to compression forces, such as heavy machinery or equipment rolling over the feet. Steel toecaps offer resistance against compression, preventing the toes from getting crushed or injured.
- Occupational Safety Compliance: Many industries and workplaces have specific safety regulations or standards that require workers to wear protective footwear with toecaps. This is particularly common in construction, manufacturing, logistics, and other sectors where foot injuries are a potential risk. Wearing composite toecap boots ensures compliance with these safety requirements.
- Durability: Steel toecaps provide an additional layer of durability to the front portion of the shoe. They are highly resistant to impact and compression forces, as well as abrasion, making the boots more robust and long-lasting.
- Versatility: Steel toecaps can be incorporated into various types of footwear, including boots, shoes, and sneakers. This allows workers in different industries to choose the appropriate footwear style while still benefiting from toe protection.
We have a range of Steel Toe Capped Boots, Steel Toe Capped Shoes, Steel Toe Capped Footwear and Steel Toe Capped Trainers for personal protection across a variety of industries.
