Safety Work Shoes NEO Tools model 82-174 S1 SR FO with dial fastening, size 42

NEO Tools model 82-174 S1 SR FO safety work shoes in size 42 are protective low-cut footwear designed for industrial, construction and workshop environments. These shoes combine basic toe protection (S1) with a slip-resistant outsole (SR) and fuel/oil resistance (FO). The dial-style fastening system allows rapid and precise fit adjustment, while the low profile keeps mobility and comfort for routine assembly, maintenance and general workshop tasks.

Advantages

The shoes provide reliable toe impact protection in line with S1 requirements and a sole construction that reduces the risk of slipping on wet or oily surfaces. The fuel- and oil-resistant outsole helps maintain grip and prolongs sole life when exposed to common workplace liquids. The dial fastening enables micro-adjustment for a secure fit without tying laces and supports quick donning and doffing. The low-cut design balances protection with freedom of movement for indoor and outdoor use.

Suitable for

• General workshop and factory floor work
• Assembly, maintenance and light mechanical tasks
• Construction site tasks not requiring higher toe protection classes
• Warehouse and logistics operations with slip risks

When it may not be suitable

These shoes are classified as S1, which provides toe protection and basic safety features but does not include additional protective properties such as penetration-resistant midsoles or electrical hazard protection. They are not suitable for environments that require S3, S5, or specialized protective footwear (for example, heavy-duty construction with high risk of penetrating objects, areas with electrical hazards, or extreme cold conditions).

Key specifications

• Protection class: S1 (toe impact protection and closed heel)
• Outsole properties: slip-resistant (SR) and fuel/oil resistant (FO)
• Closure: dial (boa-style) fastening system for micro-adjustment
• Cut: low / derby-style protective shoe
• Intended use environment: industrial, workshop, assembly, maintenance
• Size: 42 (EU sizing)

How to use

Select the correct size and ensure the shoe fits snugly across the heel and instep before use. Operate the dial fastening to tighten gradually until the foot is secure, avoiding overtightening that could restrict circulation. Check that the outsole is clean and free of debris before walking on smooth surfaces. Inspect shoes regularly for sole wear, damage to the upper, and integrity of the fastening mechanism; replace when protective properties are compromised. Use these shoes in environments appropriate for S1-level protection and follow workplace safety regulations.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that S1 protection meets your workplace requirements; higher classes may be required for specific hazards
• Ensure EU size 42 corresponds to your usual footwear size and consider trying on with work socks
• Check compatibility of the dial fastening with your preferred fit method and whether replacement parts/service are available
• Consider the expected exposure to oils, fuels or aggressive chemicals—FO outsole resists common fuels but not all chemicals

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use these shoes on clean, dry surfaces when possible, tighten the dial incrementally for an even fit, and replace footwear when the outsole tread is worn or the fastening mechanism shows signs of failure. Pair with appropriate socks and other personal protective equipment required by your workplace.
