Non-slip S3 work boots with an all-terrain sole: secure footing on construction sites, gravel, mud, roofs and rough ground – slip-resistant, heat-resistant and penetration-resistant.
On loose, gravelly, muddy or uneven ground, tread depth decides how much grip you get. The non-slip work boots with all-terrain sole presented here feature a chunky, angular cleated tread with a depth of 4 to 8 mm at the outer edge, which is self-cleaning and grips at every point of the sole. The raised heel in the midfoot area provides extra security on stairs, ladders, gravel and convex surfaces such as pipes or tree trunks. All models are certified to EN ISO 20345 S3, with a heat-resistant HRO rubber sole, cold and heat insulation and a slip-resistant outsole (SRC or SR).
These all-terrain safety boots are the ideal complement to our anti-slip solutions for construction sites, anti-slip ladder rung covers and winter safety solutions for stairs and paths. For wet, smooth indoor floors, we recommend our non-slip work shoes with scale-pattern sole instead.
Benefits of the all-terrain sole
Grip on any ground
loose soil, gravel, hardcore, mud, grass, snow – the deep cleated tread grips even where flatter soles start to skid.
Self-cleaning
angular cleats push out soil and stones as the foot rolls; the tread does not clog.
Raised heel
secure footing on ladder rungs, stairs, scaffolding and pipes; protection against slipping backwards.
HRO rubber
heat-resistant up to 300 °C contact heat, oil- and fuel-resistant – suitable for asphalt, roofing and outdoor welding work.
Width fitting 12
(fitting 11 on request): comfortable even for wider feet and thick winter socks.

Frequently asked questions
How does the all-terrain sole differ from a standard S3 sole?
The all-terrain sole has much deeper cleats: standard S3 soles usually have flat cleats of 3–4 mm, whereas these non-slip work boots use angular cleats up to 8 mm deep at the edge plus a raised heel – comparable to a trekking or mountain boot sole, but in an oil- and heat-resistant HRO rubber compound.
Are the boots suitable for ladders?
Yes – the raised heel prevents the foot from slipping off the rung; models DD-BS-CA-B0741-CWA and DD-BS-CA-B0745-CWA also carry the LG marking (ladder grip zone) under the new standard. We also recommend anti-slip ladder rung covers.
Which sizes and width fittings are available?
All models come in sizes 39 to 47, as standard in width fitting 12; fitting 11 is available on request. For businesses, we offer size runs, volume pricing and wear trials.
