S1 vs. S3 Safety Shoes

While both S1 and S3 safety shoes are built to protect your feet, they are suitable for different types of work environments. 

S1 safety shoes are suited for dry indoor environments with minimal hazards, while S3 safety shoes are made for outdoor or heavy-duty environments. S3 safety shoes include all the S1 features, plus water-resistant uppers, a puncture-resistant midsole, and deeper tread soles for added grip.
