What Standards Are the Grubs Boots Tested To?
These boots have the safety standard EN ISO 20345: 2011 S5. To understand what this certification means, check out the information below:
- EN ISO 20345: 2011 S5 refers to a specific safety footwear standard that outlines the requirements and specifications for a particular type of safety boots. The "S" stands for "Safety" and indicates that the footwear provides basic toe protection, and the "5" indicates the level of safety features provided by the footwear. The S5 designation for safety footwear means that the footwear meets the following requirements:
- Toe Protection: The footwear must have a protective toe cap that can withstand an impact energy of 200 joules. This protects the toes from falling objects or compression hazards.
- Closed Heel Area: The footwear must have a closed and energy-absorbing heel area for additional support and protection.
- Antistatic Properties: The footwear must have antistatic properties, reducing the risk of electrostatic discharge.
- Energy Absorption: The footwear must have energy-absorbing properties in the heel area, which helps to reduce the impact on the wearer's feet and joints.
- Penetration Resistance: The footwear must have a puncture-resistant sole to protect against sharp objects penetrating the sole.
- Water Resistance: The footwear must have water-resistant properties to some extent, providing protection against water and moisture.
What Other Boots of the Same Standard Are Available?
We have a huge range of S5 Safety Boots available, with a variety of styles and designs to choose from. For more general information on EN safety standards, check out our handy guide to EN standards for footwear.
Keep Feet Dry and Comfortable
Working in wet and cold conditions often comes with the risk of feet getting wet and cold. The Grubs Ceramic Driver features moisture wicking linings that use thousands of fibre loops that cosset the foot and wick away sweat, keeping feet dry and comfortable all day.
Insulate from The Cold
Most of the time, the cold creeps in from the ground and into the boot, leading to freezing feet. The Grubs Ceramic Driver counters this threat with its 6mm Nitrocell footbed that provides a soft cushioning of a million nitrogen bubbles, insulating the user from cold surfaces.
