Dear Customer!
Congratulations, you have purchased high quality safety shoes / occupational footwear.
The article was subjected to a type approval test by a recognised European inspection
authority (adress page 2) and fulls all the fundamental requirements of European
Regulation No 2016/425 and Regulation No 2016/425 on Personal Protective Equipment
as brought into UK law and amended European Regulation 2016/425 on Personal
Protective Equipment (Northern Ireland).
General information: The safety shoes naturally comply with the requirements of the
EN ISO 20345:2011 and satisfy not only the base requirements (SB) but also conform
depending on the item to one of the corresponding additional requirements (Category
S1, S2, S3) Therefore, you have chosen a safety shoe with top safety and wearing
features.
The professional shows naturally comply with the requirements of the EN ISO
20347:2012 and satisfy not only the basic requirements (OB) but also conform
depending on the item to one of the corresponding additional requirements (category
O1, O2, O3). Therefore, you have chosen occupational footwear with top safety and
wearing features.
Before using the shoes it should be ensured that the t is correct. The closing systems
present on the shoes should be used properly.
Care Tips: Leather is something special. It has many features. It is natural, resists
deformation, stretches, is breathable, adapts to the shape of the foot, and has a high
capacity for moisture absorption/release. To maintain this high material quality, caring of
the shoe is very important.
• After using the shoes, they should be cleansed of course impurities.
• Normal shoe polish is only suitable for our leather shoes to a certain extent. For shoes
that often become wet, we recommend care products that have a waterproong eect
without restricting water vapor permeability or absorption. We oer this care product
as an accessory.
• For shoes with textile material, spots are best removed with a clean cloth, pH-neutral
soap and warm water. Dirt should
never be removed with a brush. This can cause damage to the material.
• Wet shoes should be placed in a ventilated area after work to dry gradually. The
shoes should never be dried rapidly using a heat source, as the leather will become
hard and brittle. A proven method is to stu the shoes with paper.
• If possible, it is advisable to use two pairs of shoes alternately, as this gives shoes
adequate time to dry.
For other care hints, please ask us, or the retailer from which you bought these safety
shoes.
Important Note: These shoes' lining materials are of high quality, partly coloured
materials or leather, which are chosen with the greatest care. Lining materials can
potentially stain something. We can give absolutely no guarantee in this regard.
Every time before they are worn the shoes must be examined briey for damage
recognisable from the outside (e.g. if the closing system is working, sucient prole
height).
It is important that the chosen shoes are suitable for the established protection
requirements and the corresponding area of use. Suitable shoes should be selected
by the user on the basis of the risk analysis, in accordance with the area in which they
work. You can also receive detailed information about this at the corresponding mutual
indemnity associations.You can nd the conformity declaration for your product at www.

Generally: The shoes should only be used as safety shoes or occupational footwear.
Safety footwear in accordance with EN ISO 20345:2011 or occupational footwear in
accordance with EN ISO 20347:2012 do not provide protection against cuts caused
by hand-held chain saws in accordance with EN ISO 17249:2013. When working with
hand-held chain saws, footwear in accordance with EN ISO 17249:2013 should be
used. Assistance on selecting and using safety shoes is provided by the policy guideline
DGUV 112-191. Depending on the design, the shoes should be protected from risks
such as damp, mechanical eects in the toe area (shock and compressive forces),
penetration of objects through the soles, slipping, electrical charges, minor cuts in the
shaft area at the sides, heat and cold.
The shoes provide the protection specied in the shoe label. Additional inuential and
