High Safety Shoes HAMILTON S7

High Safety Shoes HAMILTON S7

High Safety Shoes HAMILTON S7 by VM Footwear are designed for professionals who need durable, waterproof and comfortable safety footwear. They combine smooth cowhide leather, a waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane, a technical MICHELIN® outsole and non-metallic protective components. These high-cut safety boots are suitable for demanding work in construction, industry and outdoor environments.

The upper is made from smooth cowhide leather, 2.0–2.2 mm thick. Its water-repellent treatment reduces water absorption and helps maintain the leather's properties in damp conditions. The robust construction is suitable for intensive everyday use.

The waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® membrane prevents water from entering the boots. It also allows moisture vapour to escape, contributing to comfort during long working shifts. The S7L safety category includes certified WR waterproof performance for the entire boot.

Comfort comes from an anatomically shaped HI-POLY insole made from lightweight polyurethane foam. It has a breathable MESH covering and antistatic properties. The insole supports the foot and helps cushion movement during walking and prolonged standing.

The technical MICHELIN® PU/RUBBER outsole combines polyurethane and rubber. It resists fuel oils and has antistatic properties. It also meets the requirements for SR slip resistance and HRO contact heat resistance. Its construction provides stability and grip in demanding workplaces.

Mechanical protection comes from a composite safety toe cap and non-metallic Kevlar PL penetration-resistant midsole. The toe cap protects against impact and compression. The Kevlar midsole reduces the risk of injury from sharp objects on the ground.

This model has an S7L FO HRO SR classification under EN ISO 20345:2022. Its high-cut design provides additional ankle coverage. Conventional laces allow the fit to be adjusted to the wearer.

Areas of use

High Safety Shoes HAMILTON S7 are suitable for construction, industry, assembly, maintenance, municipal services, logistics and outdoor work. They are designed for workplaces requiring mechanical protection, waterproof performance and reliable grip.

The GORE-TEX® membrane and certified WR waterproof performance make the boots suitable for rain and wet working conditions. The breathable membrane helps moisture vapour escape and contributes to comfort during prolonged wear.

Water-repellent smooth cowhide leather reduces water absorption and provides a robust upper. It is suitable for demanding workplaces where footwear is exposed to moisture and daily mechanical stress.

The composite safety toe cap and Kevlar penetration-resistant midsole provide protection where falling objects, compression or sharp objects on the ground present a risk.

The MICHELIN® outsole with SR slip resistance contributes to stability on various working surfaces. Fuel-oil resistance is useful during industrial and technical tasks. The HRO marking confirms resistance to brief contact with a hot surface at 300°C.

The high-cut design provides additional ankle coverage. However, this model has no separately specified certified AN ankle protection. Despite its waterproof membrane, water can enter through the top opening if the boots are submerged. SR slip resistance does not guarantee protection against slipping on every surface, particularly ice.

Standard Description

HAMILTON S7 has an S7L FO HRO SR classification under EN ISO 20345:2022. This includes toe protection, penetration resistance, whole-shoe waterproof performance and additional protective properties.

The composite safety toe cap protects against impact and compression. Under the standard, it must withstand an impact energy of 200 J and a compression force of 15 kN.

The S7L marking identifies safety footwear with whole-shoe waterproof performance and a non-metallic PL penetration-resistant midsole. It also includes antistatic properties, heel energy absorption and other requirements of the safety category.

The Kevlar PL penetration-resistant midsole is tested using a 4.5 mm diameter nail. It reduces the risk of injury from sharp objects on the ground. Penetration protection has limitations, so footwear should be selected according to workplace hazards.

WR waterproof performance means the entire boot has passed a standardised water penetration test. In HAMILTON, the waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® membrane complements this protection.

The FO marking confirms outsole resistance to fuel oils. This property is important where the outsole may come into contact with fuel and similar substances.

The HRO marking confirms outsole resistance to contact heat. The standardised test involves contact with a surface at 300°C for a limited period. It does not mean the boots are suitable for continuous exposure to this temperature.

The SR marking confirms additional slip resistance under EN ISO 20345:2022. The test involves a ceramic surface with glycerol. It does not guarantee equal grip on every surface or protection against slipping on ice.

The outsole and insole have antistatic properties. Antistatic footwear is not electrically insulating footwear. This model has no separately specified certified ESD protection. It is not designed to protect against hazardous electrical voltage.

Collection Description

HAMILTON S7 belongs to the Safety collection by VM Footwear. It is designed for professionals who need waterproof safety footwear with a robust leather upper, non-metallic protective components and a technical outsole.

Smooth cowhide leather, 2.0–2.2 mm thick, provides a durable upper. Its water-repellent treatment reduces water absorption. The GORE-TEX® membrane adds waterproof protection while allowing moisture vapour to escape.

The anatomically shaped HI-POLY insole is made from lightweight polyurethane foam and covered with breathable MESH fabric. It supports the foot and has antistatic properties.

The composite safety toe cap and Kevlar PL penetration-resistant midsole provide non-metallic mechanical protection. The MICHELIN® PU/RUBBER outsole adds SR slip resistance, fuel-oil resistance and HRO contact heat resistance.

The black upper with orange details gives the model a distinctive professional appearance. Its high-cut design, waterproof membrane and conventional laces combine protection, comfort and an adjustable fit.

Proper care helps maintain the boots' quality. Clean the smooth leather regularly with a soft cloth or brush. Use smooth-leather care products suitable for footwear with a GORE-TEX® membrane. Avoid harsh cleaning agents and machine washing.

Allow the boots to dry naturally after use. Keep them away from radiators and direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the outsole, leather, insole and laces. Replace damaged safety footwear when necessary.

Choose High Safety Shoes HAMILTON S7 when you need robust waterproof footwear with a GORE-TEX® membrane, MICHELIN® outsole and non-metallic protection. They are designed for demanding everyday work in wet environments with mechanical hazards.
