Low Safety Shoes NEWCASTLE S3

Low Safety Shoes NEWCASTLE S3

Low Safety Shoes NEWCASTLE S3 by VM Footwear combine a white microfibre upper, non-metallic protective components and ESD properties. They are designed for workplaces where mechanical protection, electrostatic discharge control and comfort during long shifts are essential.

The upper is made from poromeric microfibre, 1.6–1.8 mm thick. This durable material gives the shoes a clean, professional appearance. Their S3L classification also confirms the upper's resistance to water penetration and absorption.

The interior features a laminated breathable MESH lining, which contributes to comfort during prolonged wear. The anatomically shaped HI-POLY insole is made from lightweight polyurethane foam covered with MESH fabric. It has antistatic properties and provides cushioning and support.

The dual-density PU/PU outsole is manufactured using direct injection. It is fuel-oil resistant, slip resistant and antistatic. Two polyurethane densities contribute to cushioning, grip and stability during everyday work.

The composite safety toe cap protects against impact and compression. A Kevlar midsole provides penetration protection. Non-metallic construction and ESD properties complement the model's protective features.

Areas of use

Low Safety Shoes NEWCASTLE S3 are suitable for manufacturing, logistics, warehouses, assembly, service and maintenance work. They are designed for workplaces requiring mechanical protection and electrostatic discharge control.

Their white colour may also make them suitable for certain workplaces in food processing, kitchens and healthcare facilities. However, they must meet the additional hygiene and safety requirements of each workplace.

ESD properties support use in appropriately designed electrostatic discharge protection systems. This includes workplaces handling sensitive electronic components. The composite toe cap and Kevlar midsole provide protection against mechanical hazards.

Standard Description

The EN ISO 20345:2022 standard specifies requirements for safety footwear. The protective toe cap must withstand an impact energy of 200 J and a compression force of 15 kN. NEWCASTLE features a composite safety toe cap.

The manufacturer classifies this model as S3L. This category includes toe protection, antistatic properties, heel energy absorption and a cleated outsole. It also requires resistance to water penetration and absorption in the upper. The PL designation specifies a non-metallic penetration-resistant insert tested with a 4.5 mm diameter nail.

The FO marking confirms outsole resistance to fuel oil.

The SR marking indicates additional slip resistance under EN ISO 20345:2022. The footwear is tested on ceramic tiles with glycerol.

Compliance with EN ISO 61340-5-1:2016 supports the use of this footwear in appropriately designed electrostatic discharge protection systems. ESD properties help dissipate electrostatic charge in a controlled manner. They do not provide electrical insulation against hazardous voltage.

The required resistance to water penetration and absorption in the upper does not mean the entire shoe is waterproof. This model is not intended for prolonged exposure to water.

Collection Description

The NEWCASTLE S3 model belongs to the Safety collection by VM Footwear. It combines a white poromeric microfibre upper, breathable MESH lining, anatomically shaped HI-POLY insole and dual-density PU/PU outsole.

Its distinctive feature is the combination of non-metallic protection and ESD properties. The composite toe cap and Kevlar midsole provide mechanical protection. ESD properties allow controlled dissipation of electrostatic charge under appropriate working conditions.
