Safety footwear markings identify the standard, protection classification and additional tested properties. These markings help you compare models, but the correct choice depends on the hazards and requirements of the workplace.
| Class | In short | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| S3S | Includes a non-metallic penetration-resistant insert tested using a 3 mm nail, alongside the other protections required by the classification. | Protective toecap, closed heel, antistatic properties, energy absorption in the heel, resistance to water penetration and absorption by the upper (WPA), penetration resistance and cleated outsole. Suitable for many site-work environments, depending on the workplace hazards. |
| S7S | Includes the S3S requirements plus WR whole-footwear water resistance. | All S3S protections plus whole-footwear water resistance. Suitable for wet outdoor working conditions where the additional water resistance is needed, subject to the workplace risk assessment. |
Under the 2022 revision the old single "P" marking was split three ways, because a non-metallic insert is tested differently from a steel one.
P, PL and PS identify different penetration-resistance tests. P uses a metallic insert, while PL and PS use non-metallic inserts tested with different nail diameters. Check the marking on the individual boot to identify the protection provided.
| Code | Meaning |
| SR | Additional slip resistance, tested on ceramic tile with glycerol |
| FO | Outsole resistance to fuel oil and hydrocarbons |
| WR | Whole-footwear water resistance |
| SC | Abrasion resistance of the scuff cap (protective toe covering) |
| LG | Ladder grip |
| M | Metatarsal protection |
| HRO | Outsole resistance to hot contact |
When comparing footwear, check which version of EN ISO 20345 applies and which slip-resistance markings are shown. Older SRC markings and the newer SR marking refer to different test requirements, so they should not be treated as equivalent claims.
Start from the hazards at the workstation rather than the job title. Two people with the same role can need different footwear if one is indoors on dry concrete and the other is outside in mud.
| Sector | Footwear selection | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Construction & civil engineering | Safety footwear suited to site conditions and identified risks. | Penetration protection, suitable tread and, where required, metatarsal protection (M) or ladder grip (LG). |
| Mechanics & industrial maintenance | Footwear suited to workshop hazards. | Fuel-oil resistance (FO), slip resistance (SR) and heat-resistant outsoles (HRO) where required. |
| Food production & catering | Footwear suited to hygiene requirements and floor conditions. | Slip resistance, easy cleaning and materials suitable for the working environment. |
| Warehousing & logistics | Footwear suited to handling tasks and prolonged wear. | Appropriate toe protection, fit, grip and heel energy absorption (E) where required. |
| Engineering & manufacturing | Footwear suited to machinery, materials and workplace hazards. | Appropriate toe and penetration protection, outsole grip and electrostatic discharge (ESD) properties where specified. |
| Utilities, telecoms & field engineering | Footwear suited to outdoor work and access requirements. | Water resistance, suitable tread and ladder grip (LG) where required. |
Footwear requirements depend on the specific workplace hazards. Always check the product's certified specifications and manufacturer's guidance before selecting footwear. This guide is for general information and does not replace a workplace risk assessment.

Well-fitting safety footwear can help support comfort and encourage consistent wear. Consider these practical points when choosing footwear for your team:
For larger teams, contact us to discuss your footwear requirements and available sizing options.
Regular care and inspection help keep safety footwear in suitable condition. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning, maintenance and replacement.
There is no universal replacement interval for all safety footwear. How often it needs replacing depends on its condition, frequency of use and working environment.
The Wright range includes safety boots, hiker-style footwear and trainers. Each model has its own specification, safety classification and available sizes. Check individual product listings for details.
S3S is a safety footwear classification under EN ISO 20345:2022. It includes toe protection, a closed heel, antistatic properties, heel energy absorption, water-resistant upper performance, a cleated outsole and non-metallic penetration resistance tested using a 3 mm nail. Always check the individual product's certification and markings.
S7S includes the S3S protection requirements, with an additional whole-footwear water-resistance requirement (WR). This differs from WPA, which relates to water penetration and absorption of the upper. The appropriate classification depends on the working conditions and required protection.
Selected Wright models are described as metal-free and feature non-metallic toe caps and penetration-resistant inserts. Check the individual product specifications to confirm its construction and suitability for your workplace.
