High Safety Shoes LONDON S3

High Safety Shoes LONDON S3

High Safety Shoes LONDON S3 by VM Footwear are designed for professional use in cold and demanding working environments. They combine durable cowhide leather, 3M THINSULATE thermal insulation, steel toe protection and a penetration-resistant midsole. Their water-repellent upper, thermal insulation and durable outsole make them suitable for outdoor work, manufacturing, construction and maintenance.

The upper is made from textured cowhide leather, 2.0–2.2 mm thick. Its water-repellent treatment reduces water penetration and absorption, helping maintain comfort in damp conditions. The black colour and high-cut design create a functional appearance for everyday professional use.

A distinctive feature is the 3M THINSULATE thermal lining, which helps reduce heat loss and improves comfort at lower temperatures. It is complemented by an anatomically shaped antistatic HI-POLY insole with a CAMBRELLA covering, providing foot support during walking and prolonged standing.

Mechanical protection is provided by a steel safety toe cap and a steel penetration-resistant midsole. The PU/rubber outsole offers fuel-oil resistance, antistatic properties, additional slip resistance and resistance to contact heat.

The model complies with EN ISO 20345:2022 and EN ISO 20345:2022/A1:2024, with an S3 FO CI SC HRO SR safety classification. It is available in sizes 37–49.

Areas of use

High Safety Shoes LONDON S3 are suitable for construction, industrial manufacturing, logistics, maintenance, warehousing and outdoor work during colder months. They are designed for workplaces requiring toe protection, penetration resistance and thermal comfort.

The 3M THINSULATE thermal lining helps retain warmth inside the shoes. Combined with certified CI cold insulation, it contributes to comfort in cold warehouses, unheated facilities and outdoor worksites.

Water-repellent cowhide leather reduces water penetration and absorption through the upper. This property is useful when working in damp weather or on surfaces where footwear comes into contact with moisture.

The steel safety toe cap protects the toes against impact and compression. The steel penetration-resistant midsole provides underfoot protection when walking on surfaces containing sharp objects. This construction is suitable for building sites, manufacturing facilities and maintenance work.

The PU/rubber outsole combines walking comfort, fuel-oil resistance and additional SR slip resistance. The HRO marking confirms resistance to contact heat, while SC indicates abrasion resistance in the protective toe area.

The high-cut design provides additional coverage around the ankle. Conventional lace closure allows the fit to be adjusted to the wearer's foot shape and individual requirements.

Standard Description

LONDON S3 complies with EN ISO 20345:2022 and EN ISO 20345:2022/A1:2024, with an S3 FO CI SC HRO SR safety classification.

The steel safety toe cap provides protection against an impact energy of 200 J and a compression force of 15 kN. The steel 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 FO marking confirms outsole resistance to fuel oil. This is important in industrial and other workplaces where the outsole may come into contact with oily substances.

The CI marking confirms cold insulation. Together with the 3M THINSULATE lining, it helps reduce heat transfer through the shoe and improves thermal comfort in colder working conditions.

The SC marking indicates abrasion resistance in the protective toe area. This property is useful when the front of the footwear frequently comes into contact with rough working surfaces.

The HRO marking confirms outsole resistance to contact heat. Standard testing involves brief contact with a surface heated to 300°C. This property is relevant to work where the outsole may encounter hot surfaces.

The SR marking confirms additional slip resistance under EN ISO 20345:2022. Testing is performed on ceramic tiles with glycerol and complements the standard's basic slip-resistance requirements.

Collection Description

LONDON S3 belongs to the Safety collection by VM Footwear. It is designed for professionals who need durable leather safety footwear with thermal insulation, steel protection and an outsole suited to demanding working surfaces.

Cowhide leather, 2.0–2.2 mm thick, provides a durable upper, while its water-repellent treatment reduces water absorption. The high-cut design and lace closure allow an adjustable fit and provide additional coverage around the ankle.

3M THINSULATE is a thermal insulation material that helps retain warmth without requiring an excessively thick lining. Combined with certified CI cold insulation, it contributes to comfort in cold indoor environments and outdoor workplaces.

The anatomically shaped HI-POLY insole with a CAMBRELLA covering provides foot support and complements the shoes' internal construction. Its antistatic properties form part of the model's protective design.

The steel safety toe cap and steel penetration-resistant midsole provide mechanical protection for the toes and underside of the foot. The PU/rubber outsole adds fuel-oil resistance, additional SR slip resistance and HRO contact heat resistance.

Proper care helps preserve the quality of the footwear. Clean the leather regularly with a soft brush or slightly damp cloth. When necessary, use a leather care product suitable for water-repellent safety footwear. Regular maintenance helps preserve the material's flexibility and the shoes' appearance.

Air the shoes after use and allow them to dry naturally. Keep them away from radiators, direct sunlight and other intense heat sources. Regularly inspect the leather, stitching, laces, outsole and insole.

Choose High Safety Shoes LONDON S3 when you need durable leather footwear with 3M THINSULATE thermal insulation, a steel safety toe cap, penetration protection and a resistant PU/rubber outsole for professional work in cold and demanding conditions.
