65 products · Safety Footwear

S5 rubber safety boots are waterproof work footwear designed for wet, muddy environments or those soiled with liquid substances. The S5 class provides a protective toe cap, a penetration-resistant midsole, an outsole with anti-slip lugs, energy absorption in the heel and antistatic properties, in accordance with the EN ISO 20345 standard.

Types in the collection

  • Knee-high boots in PVC or polyurethane, in yellow, green, blue and white versions.
  • Waist-high wader boots, for work in water or in very damp environments.
  • Models with insole and lining for comfort during prolonged use.

How to choose

Check the marking on the footwear: the protection class, any additional requirements (such as resistance to oils and hydrocarbons, or an anti-slip outsole) and the type of working environment. The size should be tried on with the socks you actually wear, and the choice of lining depends on the temperature.

Frequently asked questions: S5 Rubber Safety Boots
What are S5 safety rubber boots used for?

S5 rubber boots are waterproof footwear for working in wet, muddy environments or with liquid substances. They have a toe cap, penetration-resistant midsole and a sole with anti-slip studs. They are suitable for construction, work in mud and industrial activities with water or liquids, where the foot must stay dry.

What does the S5 class mean for safety boots?

The S5 class is defined by EN ISO 20345 and requires a toe cap, penetration-resistant midsole, anti-slip sole with studs, energy absorption in the heel and antistatic properties. Not all boots in the range are S5: the catalogue also includes S4 and O4 models, with different characteristics. Always read the code on the data sheet.

Knee, waist or chest boots: which to choose?

Knee boots protect the lower leg in mud and puddles. Waist boots and chest waders are for work in water or very damp environments, where more height is needed. The choice depends on the depth of the water and the type of work you must carry out.

Are boots with insole and lining useful for long work?

Boots with insole and lining are useful for long work in cold or damp environments, where the foot is moving for the whole shift. The lining adds warmth and the insole increases comfort. In rubber models, however, the foot can sweat, so it is advisable to alternate with a breathable sock.

Which safety boots are needed for laying tiles?

Waterproof boots for laying tiles, such as those by Rubi, are for working with water and mortar on the floor. The sole must grip on wet and muddy surfaces. Check the class code and the sole type on the data sheet before wearing them on site.

How do you clean and store a rubber work boot?

Wash the boot with water and neutral soap after each use and let it dry in the air, away from heat sources. Do not expose it to solvents or direct sun, which harden the material. Store it upright or hung, without folding the shaft.

When should a safety boot be replaced?

The boot must be changed when it shows cracks, holes or a deformed toe cap, or when the sole has lost its studs. A damaged shaft that lets water through is another sign of wear. A check before every shift helps to spot the problem in time.

Which boots should be chosen among Dunlop, Portwest and U-Power models?

The catalogue includes Dunlop boots, such as the Jobguard S5 and Purofort S5 models, Portwest waist, chest and Wellington boots, and U-Power models with various finishes. The comparison should be made on class, sole type and shaft height. The brand alone is not enough: read the data sheet of each model.
