Made for water

Wet feet are cold feet, and cold feet lead to less concentration and more blisters. The Aqua models use materials that keep water out and dry quickly again, with a sole that also holds grip on wet tiles and slippery floors.

Water-repellent (the S2 and S3 requirement) is different from fully waterproof. If you stand in water for hours, an S5 boot is the better choice. For work that alternates between wet and dry, an Aqua shoe with a membrane is usually the most comfortable.

Frequently asked questions

What makes an Aqua shoe different?

The Aqua line is made for wet conditions: materials that keep water out and dry quickly, combined with a sole with extra grip on wet ground. How much water the shoe actually keeps out is shown by the class on the label.

Is a waterproof membrane the same as S3?

No. S3 means the upper has been tested as water-repellent. A membrane such as a waterproof inner lining goes further and keeps water out even with prolonged exposure, and is listed separately with the designation WR or the membrane's brand name.

What is the difference between an S3 and an S7 work shoe?

An S7 work shoe has the same protection as an S3 shoe, but is tested as a whole for waterproofness. With S3, only the upper material is water-repellent and moisture can still get in during prolonged wet work, for example through the seams. If you often work in wet conditions, S7 gives more certainty of dry feet.

How do I care for a waterproof work shoe?

Rinse off mud and dirt with lukewarm water and let the shoe dry at room temperature, not on the radiator or in the sun. If possible, take the insole out so the inside also dries well. Treat the upper material occasionally with a suitable care product, so it stays supple and water-resistant.
