These groups are based on the safety class, material and shaft information on the product pages. Boots with no stated safety class should not be assumed to have a toe cap or puncture protection.

When choosing work wellingtons, don't look only at boot height or material; consider the risks in your working environment together, such as water, mud, slippery floors, impact and penetration. Steel toe, composite toe and non-safety models may suit different needs.
Steel or composite toe models may be designed to protect the toes against impact and crushing risks. However, a product's overall level of protection should be judged by the relevant standard and safety class, not by the toe cap material alone.
In wet, muddy or slippery work areas, the boot's outer material, tread pattern and the floor performance stated by the manufacturer are important. If waterproofing or slip resistance is not clearly stated in the product information, don't assume it from appearance alone.
Short, tall and chest-high models may suit different working conditions. Consider together how high water or dirt may reach, how much movement you need and how long you will be working.
Compare your foot length with the manufacturer's size chart, if available. If you will wear thick socks or thermal liners, allow for this when choosing your size. The same shoe size (EU) can feel different depending on the last and materials.
If you need a lower-cut solution instead of wellingtons, you can also compare safety shoes and safety boots for your working environment.

Both are waterproof safety wellington boots with a polymer or rubber body and a toe cap. In addition to S4, S5 has a penetration-resistant sole and a cleated outsole; S5 is chosen for sites with a risk of nails or sharp objects.
CI indicates that the sole has been tested for insulation against cold. If you will be working on cold floors for long periods, models marked CI are a good choice.
PVC wellingtons are economical and easy to clean. Polyurethane wellingtons are generally more lightweight and stay flexible better in the cold. Choose according to the temperature of your working environment and how long they will be worn.
Electrical insulation is only provided by boots with a stated EN 50321-1 class; a safety class (S4/S5) or the word "antistatic" does not mean electrical insulation. For electrically insulating models, check the class information on the product page in the electrician's boots category.
