The Nickel S3 is an ankle-height safety boot built for winter: 1.8 to 2 mm hydrophobic leather, a synthetic fur lining and a slip-resistant PU-PU outsole. It keeps the steel toe cap and steel midsole that S3 SRC calls for, and the ankle-height upper holds the joint and closes the way to snow. Sizes 38 to 48.
The Nickel S3 is the winter version of an ankle-height safety boot. The upper is hydrophobic grain leather, 1.8 to 2 mm thick, enough to stand up to slush and a muddy site. Inside, a breathable textile lining filled with synthetic fur wraps the foot and the ankle. It keeps everything the S3 class calls for: a steel toe cap rated to a 200 joule impact, a steel penetration-resistant midsole, antistatic properties and energy absorption at the heel. The dual-density PU-PU outsole resists oils and meets the SRC slip-resistance level. Added to that are a PU overcap across the front of the foot, which takes the knocks, and a reflective PVC strap. Sizes 38 to 48.
This is a winter safety boot: the full S3 protection, a lining and an ankle-height upper. The rest comes down to a good pair of socks and a size up.
Cold reaches the foot by two routes: the damp that gets through, and the contact with the ground. The hydrophobic leather, 1.8 to 2 mm thick, answers the first — water and slush bead up instead of soaking in, and that is what the S3 letter requires of the upper. The synthetic fur lining answers the second: its fibres hold a layer of air around the foot and the ankle, and it is that still air that insulates. The PU-PU outsole adds its own thickness between the sole of the foot and the ground.
Because it avoids the usual winter trade-off: keeping your summer safety boots and being cold, or switching to a warm boot that no longer protects. Here the full S3 protection stays in place, with a lining and an ankle-height upper on top of it.
