Site rule asks for S3
You need S3 printed on the title, with SRC and a fibreglass toe you can point to. The Clifton Low is the row for that, at about £55.14, if you still read the tongue because the brand page says S3L ESD.

You need a shoe that matches the class written for your site, and an amazon.co.uk title that says the same thing. Albatros safety shoes are low work shoes and mid boots for warehouses, light trades, and sites that need a protective toe and often a puncture-resistant sole. Start with the hazard, then the class on the shoe, then whether the title matches it, then a length in centimetres. Price and the star line come after that. S1P is the dry package plus a puncture insert. S3 adds a water-resistant upper and a cleated outsole. It is not whole-shoe waterproofing, and it is not automatically safer than. Most written reviews are marked as written in Germany, so the stars are a listing figure, not a United Kingdom sample. The cheapest row, 2.4 from two ratings and no review text, is not a bargain you can check. Dealer sheets name in as the maker, and the brand catalogue is at albatroswork.com. Personal protective equipment is a last resort after other controls, which is how the Health and Safety Executive frames. How to choose is set out in the [Albatros safety shoes buying guide](/hub/occupational-safety/albatros-safety-shoes/sub/albatros-safety-shoes-buying-guide).

The best Albatros safety shoes in detail
Our view
The Clifton Low listing on amazon.co.uk is priced at about £55.14, and the title prints S3 and SRC with a fibreglass toe, puncture protection, and a metal-free claim. The star line is 4.4 from 130 ratings. Reviewers who are pleased with it talk about comfort across a long shift. Several others say the shoe runs large, including one return because a pair was at least one size too big, while some buyers found their usual size fitted. Most of those reviews are marked as written in Germany, so the stars are a listing figure rather than a UK sample. Wear notes include an insole that failed after a month, a pair that lasted about three months on hard work, and a toe that scuffed on screed. It is the top pick in this set when you need an S3 title near that price and you will still read the tongue, because the current brand page marks a Clifton Low as S3L ESD rather than the S3 SRC on this amazon title.
Pros
- Title prints S3 SRC, a fibreglass toe, puncture protection, and metal-free
- About £55.14, with 4.4 from 130 ratings
- Reviewers mention comfort across a long shift
- A stated class, unlike the two dearer titles that omit one
Cons
- Several reviews say it runs large, including a return of at least one size
- An insole that failed after a month, a three-month life on hard work, and a toe scuffed on screed
- The brand page says S3L ESD, not the S3 SRC on this amazon title
- Most of the review text is marked Germany, not the United Kingdom
Best for: A buyer whose workplace rule asks for S3, who wants fibreglass and metal-free written on the title, and who will check the size on the brand centimetre chart.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs the brand page’s S3L ESD mark to match this amazon title word for word, or who wants a review sample marked United Kingdom.

Common questions
Does the Clifton Low listing claim a metal-free toe?
The amazon.co.uk title says a fibreglass toe cap, puncture protection and metal-free, and it prints S3 SRC. The listing does not answer those points in its own questions. The product details show ASIN B0DPG3VLDP, which is not the page id B08XN4CB9Y.
How do the reviews describe the size?
Several reviews say the shoe runs large, including one return because it was at least one size too big. Others say their usual size fitted. Most of those reviews are marked as written in Germany.
What wear do reviewers report?
Repeated praise is comfort on a long shift. Complaints include an insole that failed after a month, a pair that lasted about three months on hard work, and a toe that scuffed on screed.
Our view
The Aer55 Impulse Low is listed at about £80.32, the highest price in this set, with 4.4 from 96 ratings. The amazon.co.uk title does not state S1, S1P, S3, SRC, ESD, or the toe material. Reviewers describe a light, trainer-like shoe for a warehouse or a concrete floor. Complaints include sweat after a long factory shift, laces that come undone, and a heel that rubbed. One review marked France says the sole came unstuck after two days and that the seller asked for the pair back before sending a replacement. A high star line does not fill in a class the title left blank. Leave this row until you can read the marking on the shoe if your workplace names S1P or S3.
Pros
- 4.4 from 96 ratings
- Reviewers describe a light, trainer-like feel on a hard indoor floor
- A low cut if you do not want a mid boot
Cons
- About £80.32 with no safety class, toe type, or slip mark on the title
- Sweat on a long factory shift, laces that untie, and a heel that rubbed
- One France-marked review says the sole came unstuck after two days
Best for: A buyer who has already read the class on the shoe itself and wants a low, trainer-like cut for a hard indoor floor.
Less suitable: Anyone whose site rule names S3 or S1P and who only has this title to go on.

Common questions
What safety class does the Aer55 title state?
The amazon.co.uk title does not state S1, S1P, S3, SRC, ESD, or the toe material. The listing questions about slip, wearing without socks, and industrial use are unanswered.
How do reviewers describe day-to-day wear?
Several describe a light, trainer-like shoe for a warehouse or concrete floor. Complaints include sweat after a long factory shift, laces that untie, and a heel that rubbed.
Is there an early sole failure in the reviews?
One review marked France says the sole came unstuck after two days and that the seller wanted the pair returned before a replacement.
Our view
The Ultratrail Low has the largest sample in this set, 4.3 from 488 ratings, at about £77.37. The title describes a low safety shoe in grey combination leather and prints size 46, without S1P, S3, or a toe material. Positive comments mention long shifts, a light feel, and repeat orders, and a few accounts say nails did not pierce the sole. One reviewer claims heat resistance up to 300 degrees, which is a review sentence and not a figure on the listing. Recurring problems are eyelets that press or fail, heat in summer, and size advice that points both ways, plus at least one pair that failed within half a year. The only UK-marked review is negative. A large star sample still does not tell you the class.
Pros
- 4.3 from 488 ratings, the largest count in the set
- Comments on long shifts, a light feel, and repeat purchases
- A few accounts say nails did not pierce the sole
Cons
- No safety class or toe type on the title, at about £77.37
- Eyelets that press or fail, summer heat, and a failure within half a year
- Size comments point both ways
- The only UK-marked review is negative
Best for: A buyer who has checked the class on the tongue of this exact pair and wants a low shoe with a large review count behind the star line.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs S3 or S1P printed before they pay, or who is treating a 300-degree review sentence as a specification.

Common questions
Does the Ultratrail Low title state S3, a steel toe, or that it is vegan?
No. The title says a low safety shoe in grey combination leather, size 46. Questions on the listing about weight, a steel toe, and vegan materials are unanswered.
What do reviewers who like them mention?
Long shifts, a light feel, reorder purchases, and, in a few accounts, nails that did not pierce the sole. One reviewer claims heat resistance up to 300 degrees. That is a review sentence, not a listing specification.
What keeps coming up as a problem?
Eyelets that press or fail, summer heat, a split in size advice, and at least one pair that failed within half a year. The only UK-marked review is negative.
Our view
The Ultratrail Olive CTX Mid is listed at about £61.72 as a mid boot, and the amazon.co.uk title prints S3 and ESD. It shows 4.2 from 167 ratings. UK-marked reviews call the boot comfortable, light, and decent value, including after a long stand, although one UK line is only about a late parcel. Other comments describe a sole that came away, waterproofing that faded, heat in the boot, and pressure from the toe or an eyelet. One pair was retired after about five months in agriculture. The title does not state the toe material, and it does not say the boot is waterproof. A brand collection page uses S7S ESD on a similar name, which you should not copy onto this S3 listing, because S7 would mean whole-shoe water resistance that this title never claims.
Pros
- Title prints S3 and ESD at about £61.72
- 4.2 from 167 ratings
- UK-marked comments on comfort and a light feel after a long stand
Cons
- A sole that came away, waterproofing that faded, heat, and pressure from the toe or an eyelet
- One pair retired after about five months in agriculture
- Toe material is not stated, and the title does not say waterproof
- A catalogue S7S mark is a different claim from this S3 line
Best for: Someone who wants a mid boot with S3 and ESD printed on the amazon title, and who can trial the sole on their own site.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs the toe material stated on the title, or who is treating a catalogue S7S page as this listing.

Common questions
Does the Ultratrail mid listing say it is waterproof or steel-toed?
The title says S3 and ESD. The listing asks about waterproofing and a steel toe and does not answer either. Those points stay unknown.
What do UK-marked reviews say?
UK-marked reviews call the boot comfortable, light, and decent value, including after a long stand. One UK line is only about a late parcel.
What failures come up more than once?
A sole that came away, waterproofing that faded, heat, and pressure from the toe or an eyelet. One pair was retired after about five months in agriculture.
Our view
The Ultimate Impulse Olive Low is listed at about £51.52, and the title prints S1P and ESD with size 44. It shows 4.0 from 60 ratings. The title does not state the toe material, HRO, or a slip mark. The reviews are marked Italy and Germany, with none marked United Kingdom, and they centre on heel rub and blisters, including a return after a single day and one case of Achilles pain. A separate comment likes the cushioning on a hard floor once the shoe has been worn in. It is the best value in this set when you need S1P printed on the title and a price near £50, set against the cheaper row that has only two ratings and no review text. It is a poor match if the workplace rule says S3, or if you cannot return a shoe that rubs the heel on day one.
Pros
- Title prints S1P and ESD at about £51.52
- 4.0 from 60 ratings, enough text to read the complaints
- One review likes the cushioning on a hard floor once worn
Cons
- Heel rub and blisters, including a return after one day and Achilles pain
- Toe material, HRO, and a slip mark are not on the title
- No review is marked United Kingdom
- Size 44 is printed in the title, so the price is that length’s offer
Best for: A dry-floor buyer who needs S1P and ESD on the title, at a price near £50, and who can return a shoe that rubs.
Less suitable: A workplace that has specified S3, or anyone who needs the toe material printed before they order.

Common questions
What class does the Ultimate Impulse title print?
S1P and ESD, size 44, black and olive. The title does not state the toe material, HRO, or a slip mark. Durability, materials, and traction are asked and not answered.
What is the main fit complaint?
Heel rub and blisters, including one return after a single day and one case of Achilles pain. Another review likes the cushioning on a hard floor once the shoe is worn.
Where were the reviews written?
They are marked Italy and Germany. There is no review marked United Kingdom.
Our view
This Clifton Mid offer is about £68.60, and the title prints S3 and SRC in black and red with EU size 36. The star line is 3.9 from 37 ratings. The reviews agree that the boot runs large, and more than one person says to go one or two sizes down. The only UK-marked line says the boots are very good and does not give a size. Reported wear includes a toe damaged after two wears and seams that failed at about three months. One buyer says return postage outside Germany was not free. The title does not state the toe material, so this page is not a metal-free claim.
Pros
- Title prints S3 and SRC
- A mid cut if you want more cover than a low shoe
- The only UK-marked line calls the boots very good
Cons
- 3.9 from 37 ratings, and reviews that say to go one or two sizes down
- A toe damaged after two wears, and seams that failed at about three months
- The title prints EU 36, so about £68.60 is that size’s offer
- Toe material is not stated
Best for: Someone who has measured EU 36, needs S3 and SRC on the title, and accepts a small review sample.
Less suitable: A UK 9 or UK 10 buyer reading this price as every length, or anyone who needs a fibreglass toe stated on the page.

Common questions
Which size is this Clifton Mid offer?
The title prints EU size 36, S3, and SRC, in black and red. The details model number is 23117. The title also contains 638700. Waterproofing, materials, and traction are asked and not answered.
What do the reviews agree on?
That the boot runs large. More than one reviewer says to go one or two sizes down. The only UK-marked line says the boots are very good and gives no size.
What broke in the review text?
A toe worn after two wears, and seams that failed at about three months. One buyer also says return postage outside Germany was not free.
Our view
This low shoe is the cheapest row at about £31.25, and the title prints S1P, ESD, HRO, and SRC, with a fibreglass cap, penetration protection, and a metal-free claim. The brand name is absent from the title and appears only in the manufacturer field as ALBATROS. The listing shows 2.4 from two ratings. There is no written review text, so fit, comfort, and faults are unknown. Two ratings are not enough to judge how the shoe wears on a shift, which is why a low price here is not a bargain you can check. The fibreglass line is a different claim from a steel toe, and the page does not answer a steel-toe question. Treat the mark string as something to confirm on the shoe itself.
Pros
- Lowest price in the set, at about £31.25
- Title prints S1P, ESD, HRO, SRC, fibreglass, and metal-free
- The fullest mark string among the seven listings
Cons
- 2.4 from two ratings and no written reviews
- Brand name only in the manufacturer field, not the title
- Fit, durability, and faults are unknown from the listing
Best for: Only a buyer who can inspect the marks on the shoe and who accepts a two-rating listing with no written reviews.
Less suitable: Anyone choosing from stars or from wear comments, because the listing has neither a usable rating sample nor review text.

Common questions
Is the brand name in the title?
No. The title says a unisex low safety shoe with S1P, ESD, HRO, SRC, a fibreglass cap, penetration protection and a metal-free claim. The manufacturer field says ALBATROS.
What do buyers say about it?
The listing shows 2.4 out of 5 from 2 ratings. There is no written review text, so praise, complaints, and faults are unknown.
Does the listing answer the steel-toe and hiking questions?
No. Those questions are listed and not answered. The title claims a fibreglass cap, which is a different claim from a steel toe.
How we compared
We compared seven Albatros safety-shoe listings on amazon.co.uk against the class, slip, ESD, and HRO marks printed on each title, the brand page where it disagrees, and public UK sources on PPE duty and safety footwear. Scores follow the listing star line. They are not a lab test, and most written reviews are marked as written in Germany.

How to choose Albatros safety shoes
Start with the hazard you actually face: impact, puncture, water on the upper, whole-shoe water, slip, static, or hot contact. Then read the class on the shoe, and only then the amazon.co.uk title. Price and the review count come last. This set shows what happens when you reverse that order. The two dearest shoes omit the class. The cheapest shoe prints a long mark string and almost no evidence of how it wears.
What Albatros safety shoes are for
Albatros safety shoes in this comparison are low work shoes and mid boots sold on amazon.co.uk. Dealer sheets name ISM GmbH in Lippstadt as the maker, and the brand catalogue is at albatroswork.com. UK buyers use them in warehouses, light trades, and on sites that need a protective toe and often a puncture-resistant sole. Personal protective equipment is a last resort after other controls, which is how the Health and Safety Executive frames PPE.
Best for
- Employers matching a written class, including ESD when the title prints it
- Workers replacing a full-shift pair and ordering an EU size online
- Warehouse and light-trade buyers under an S3 rule or a dry-indoor S1P rule
Not ideal for
- Chemical, foundry, chain-saw, or live-electrical work
- Anyone who needs the brand-page code to match the amazon title word for word
- A buyer treating the about £31.25 listing as best value
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Reading S3 as always safer or as waterproof
S3 adds a water-resistant upper and a cleated outsole to the dry package. It is not a higher score than S1P for every hazard, and it is not whole-shoe waterproofing. That mark is WR, in S6 and S7.
- 2
Copying a brand-page code onto the amazon title
Clifton Low is S3 SRC on amazon and S3L ESD on the current brand page. A collection page uses S7S ESD on a name close to the Ultratrail CTX Mid, which the amazon title lists as S3 ESD. Use the code on the shoe you will wear.
- 3
Calling the cheapest listing the bargain
The about £31.25 shoe prints a long mark string and shows 2.4 from two ratings, with no written reviews. Price counts only after the class is acceptable and you can read how the shoe wears. SRC is also not a promise that you cannot slip.
What to weigh up
Safety class and the hazard
HighMatch the shoe to the hazard before you match it to a price. Impact and a protective toe are the base of a safety shoe. Puncture sits in the P family of marks, and P, PL, and PS are different tests, so a title that only says puncture protection is not a full midsole specification. Water on the upper is part of S3. Whole-shoe water is the separate WR mark, in S6 and S7. Slip is SRC on the older marking or SR on the 2022 standard, and neither mark means you cannot slip.
Fit and whether the title matches
HighOrder the length you measured, not the length a review preferred. Albatros publishes a centimetre size chart. Measure in the socks you wear for work. Reviews in this set point both ways. The Clifton Low has comments that it runs large, including a return of at least one size, and other buyers whose usual size fitted. The Clifton Mid reviews agree it runs large, and more than one person says to go one or two sizes down. The title prints EU 36, so about £68.60 is that size.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Dry indoor floor, S1P
Your rule allows S1P and you want ESD on the title at a price near £50. The Ultimate Impulse Olive Low is the best value in this set for that, if you can return a shoe that rubs the heel.
Mid boot with S3 and ESD
You want more cover than a low shoe, and the title should print S3 and ESD. The Ultratrail Olive CTX Mid is that listing. The toe material is not stated, and a catalogue S7S line is a different claim.
Common questions about Albatros safety shoes
Which Albatros safety shoe is the top pick in this set?
The top pick is the Albatros Clifton Low when your workplace rule asks for S3 and you want SRC, a fibreglass toe, puncture protection, and a metal-free claim on the amazon.co.uk title. It is listed at about £55.14, with 4.4 from 130 ratings. Reviewers who like it mention comfort on a long shift, and several say it runs large. The current brand page marks a Clifton Low as S3L ESD, not the S3 SRC on this title, so read the tongue before you treat the codes as the same shoe.
What do Albatros safety shoes cost?
Prices here run from about £31.25 to about £80.32 on amazon.co.uk. The middle is about £51.52 to about £68.60. The two dearest titles, about £77.37 and about £80.32, omit the safety class. A dealer page lists a Clifton Low S3 SRC at £52, near the amazon price of about £55.14. The cheapest row is not best value: it shows 2.4 from two ratings and no review text. See what safety shoes cost in the UK for a wider price picture. These figures are the seven listings, not a market survey.
What is the difference between S1P and S3?
S1P is the dry-floor package plus a puncture insert. S3 adds a water-resistant upper and a cleated outsole. In this set the Clifton Low and the two mid boots print S3, while the Ultimate Impulse and the about £31.25 low shoe print S1P. S3 is not always safer, and it is not whole-shoe waterproofing. That separate mark is WR, used in S6 and S7. Choose the class your site rule names, then check that the title and the shoe say the same code.
Is an S3 Albatros shoe waterproof?
No. On these listings S3 means a water-resistant upper and a cleated outsole, not a boot that keeps water out of the whole shoe. Whole-shoe water resistance is the WR mark. A brand collection page uses S7S on a name close to the Ultratrail Olive CTX Mid, but this amazon title prints S3 and ESD and does not say waterproof. Reviewers of that mid boot also describe waterproofing that faded. If standing water is the hazard, trial the pair on your site.
Do I have to pay for safety shoes that work requires?
If the footwear is required only for work, the employer provides it and must not charge you. That duty sits in the PPE at Work Regulations 1992, regulation 4, and the Health and Safety Executive also describes the ban on charging. The 2022 extension covers limb (b) workers as well as employees. This page compares retail listings for someone replacing a pair. It is not a substitute for your employer’s PPE assessment.
Why do some Albatros titles disagree with the brand page?
Two rows disagree with the brand site. The Clifton Low title on amazon.co.uk prints S3 SRC, while the current brand page marks a Clifton Low as S3L ESD. The Ultratrail Olive CTX Mid title prints S3 ESD, while a brand collection page uses S7S ESD on a similar name. S7 would mean whole-shoe water resistance that this title never claims. Use the code on the shoe in your hand, and do not treat a DGUV line on a brand page as the UK mark.
Should I trust the star ratings on these listings?
The stars are the amazon.co.uk listing figures, not a UK review sample and not a lab score. Most written reviews are marked as written in Germany. The Ultratrail Low has the largest count, 4.3 from 488, and still prints no safety class. The about £31.25 shoe shows 2.4 from two ratings and has no written reviews. Read the complaints that exist, including size, heel rub, and early wear, and do not let a star line fill in a blank class.
Is a fibreglass toe safer than a steel toe?
No. A fibreglass toe is not safer or weaker than a certified steel toe. Both can meet the toe test in BS EN ISO 20345. Only the Clifton Low and the about £31.25 shoe print fibreglass and metal-free on the title. The other five titles do not state the toe material. P, PL, and PS are different puncture tests. Metal-free is a materials claim, not a higher class, and a composite toe can look intact after an impact. Retire the pair after a blow to the toe.
Our verdict
Seven amazon.co.uk listings put the Clifton Low first when you need S3 and SRC on the title, a fibreglass toe, and a price near £55. The Ultimate Impulse Olive Low is the best value when the workplace rule is S1P and you want a price near £50 with enough reviews to read the heel-rub complaints. Skip a row that prints no class, and do not treat the about £31.25 listing as the bargain. Stars here are listing figures, and most written reviews are marked Germany.
