SECURE THANKS TO ANKLE TWIST PROTECTION
CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKERS NEED SPECIAL ANKLE PROTECTION
Roads, sewers, pipelines, wells, and railroads are just a few of the construction areas of civil engineering workers. Depending on their focus, they carry out their work in the ground or on the surface. Only S3 safety footwear offers special protection on uneven terrain. In combination with the BIOMEX PROTECTION© ankle twist protection system, you´ve the best necessary support. A GORE-TEX climate membrane keeps feet dry when working around drains, while the tread depth gives extra stability in excavations and trenches. Penetration protection in the safety footwear minimises the risk of foot injuries caused by objects or debris lying around. Safety shoes for civil engineering workers must therefore meet a wide range of requirements. Read more about this topic on this page.
SELECTION OF PRODUCTS
WIND AND WEATHER
GORE-TEX
Only shoes that are comfortable for the respective temperature and conditions are really practical. As soon as our feet become too warm, too cold or even wet, we begin to feel uncomfortable. This can affect our health and ability to concentrate. GORE-TEX shoes are permanently waterproof and highly breathable. They keep your feet dry and offer optimum climatic comfort – in all weathers, throughout the entire product life cycle.

INJURY PREVENTION
More than half of all foot injuries are sprains, dislocations or injuries to the ligaments. BIOMEX PROTECTION© stabilises the ankle in its natural movement and protects it against these hazards.
ERGO-ACTIVE FIT CONCEPT
Besides the correct width, other factors contribute to achieving the right fit. In order to address typical problems regarding fit (too wide, too narrow, too short), we have developed the Ergo-Active 2.0 system. We distinguish between three different foot types:
- Type 1 (for larger feet),
- Type 2 (for average feet),
- Type 3 (for narrower feet).
MULTIPLE WIDTH FIT CONCEPT
The feet of craftsmen have to endure a lot – so their shoes have to fit perfectly. That is why we offer some of our models in three different widths:
- W (For the average width foot)
- XW (For the wider foot)
- XXW (For the very wide foot)
The comfortable multi-width system provides each foot with the individual space it requires. Since the toe cap has also “grown” in width, the necessary volume in the forefoot area is maintained.
LADIES FIT CONCEPT
LADIES HAVE A NARROWER FIT
Women’s feet are different to men’s: they are narrower and flatter than those of men with the same shoe size. For this reason, we have special women’s models within our range, which offer appropriate solutions to meet the requirements of female foot anatomy.Women’s feet are different to men’s: they are narrower and flatter than those of men with the same shoe size.

RUBBER SOLES
Rubber outsoles are particularly robust: resistant to temperatures of up to 300 °C for short periods, resistant to penetration by sharp-edged objects and resistant to petrol, oil, microbes and numerous chemicals. Special manufacturing processes make them abrasion resistant. However, rubber is heavier than PU and TPU and slightly less flexible in cold temperatures.
ROBUST AND HEAT-RESISTANT
WITH ONE TURN
BOA® FIT SYSTEM
The BOA® Fit System allows the safety shoes to be tightened and loosened quickly, safely, and comfortably – with just one hand! The lacing “stays put” all day long, thus ensuring a permanently precise fit. Other benefits include no loose laces hanging down and the fact that the BOA® Fit System is extremely durable – perfect for the harsh conditions of the construction industry.
