High Safety Shoes ROCKFORD S3

High Safety Shoes ROCKFORD S3

High Safety Shoes ROCKFORD S3 by VM Footwear are designed for professionals who need reliable protection, comfort and durability in demanding working conditions. They combine durable CRAZY HORSE leather, waterproof and breathable lining, a composite safety toe cap, a Kevlar penetration-resistant midsole and a technical MICHELIN® PU/rubber outsole.

The upper is made from water-repellent CRAZY HORSE cowhide leather, 2.0–2.2 mm thick. Its robust construction is suitable for everyday use on demanding worksites. The water-repellent properties reduce water penetration and absorption, while the high-cut design provides additional ankle coverage. The model is available in black with red details.

The interior features waterproof, breathable and thermally insulating lining, which contributes to moisture protection and comfort in colder conditions. It is complemented by an antistatic insole made from highly absorbent expanded polyurethane. The insole provides foot support and helps manage moisture inside the footwear.

Mechanical protection is provided by a composite safety toe cap and a Kevlar penetration-resistant midsole. The composite toe cap protects the toes against impact and compression. The Kevlar midsole protects the underside of the foot against penetration by sharp objects.

A distinctive feature is the technical MICHELIN® PU/rubber outsole, which combines fuel-oil resistance, antistatic properties and SRC slip resistance. The HRO marking confirms outsole resistance to contact heat during brief contact with a surface heated to 300°C.

The model complies with EN ISO 20345:2011 and has an S3 HRO SRC CI WR safety classification. It is available in sizes 39–48.

Areas of use

High Safety Shoes ROCKFORD S3 are suitable for construction, industrial manufacturing, mechanical engineering, maintenance, assembly, logistics and outdoor work. Their construction is intended for workplaces where mechanical foot protection, water resistance and grip on various working surfaces are important.

Water-repellent CRAZY HORSE leather and waterproof lining are useful when working in rain, damp environments and other wet conditions. The WR marking confirms resistance to water penetration through the complete footwear.

The thermally insulating lining and CI marking contribute to the model's suitability for colder environments. This combination is useful on outdoor worksites, in unheated buildings and during maintenance work in cold weather.

The composite safety toe cap protects the toes against impact and compression. The Kevlar penetration-resistant midsole provides protection when walking on surfaces containing nails, metal debris and other sharp objects.

The MICHELIN® PU/rubber outsole is fuel-oil resistant, antistatic and SRC slip resistant. Its HRO contact heat resistance is relevant to tasks where the outsole may briefly come into contact with a hot surface.

The highly absorbent expanded polyurethane insole contributes to comfort during prolonged wear. The high-cut design provides additional ankle coverage, while the lace closure allows an adjustable fit.

Standard Description

ROCKFORD S3 complies with EN ISO 20345:2011 and has an S3 HRO SRC CI WR safety classification.

The composite safety toe cap provides protection against an impact energy of 200 J and a compression force of 15 kN. The Kevlar penetration-resistant midsole protects the underside of the foot against penetration by sharp objects.

The S3 category includes a safety toe cap, an enclosed heel, antistatic properties and heel energy absorption. It also includes upper resistance to water penetration and absorption, penetration protection and a cleated outsole.

The WR marking confirms resistance to water penetration through the complete footwear. The waterproof lining complements the water-repellent leather and contributes to foot protection in wet working conditions.

The CI marking indicates that the footwear has been tested for insulation against cold. The thermally insulating lining further contributes to comfort in colder environments.

The HRO marking confirms outsole resistance to contact heat. Standard testing involves brief contact with a surface heated to 300°C.

The SRC marking under EN ISO 20345:2011 confirms slip resistance in two tests: on ceramic tiles with a detergent solution and on a steel surface with glycerol.

The technical MICHELIN® PU/rubber outsole is fuel-oil resistant and has antistatic properties. These features complement the model's safety classification during everyday professional use.
