Description
The Birkenstock QS500 Safety Shoe - Natural Leather is a certified S3 safety sneaker designed to provide reliable protection and long-lasting comfort in demanding work environments such as nursing, healthcare, industry, kitchens and laboratories. Styled as a simple, modern 6-hole lace-up shoe, the QS500 features a water-resistant smooth leather (WRU) upper that offers antistatic protection. A 200-joule steel toe with a scratch-resistant toe cap protects the forefoot from impact and compression. The penetration-resistant, metal-free nitrile rubber outsole is nonslip and oil- and petrol-resistant, offering energy absorption around the heel and SRC-rated slip resistance. Inside, a removable, anatomically shaped cork-microfiber footbed supports the natural anatomy of the foot and can be replaced or washed at 30°C. Certified in accordance with EN ISO 20345:2011, the QS500 meets the requirements of protection category S3 (A, E, P, FO, WRU, SRC), making it an excellent choice for professionals who need both protection and ergonomic support over long shifts.
