Product Information
Full details
The Bucklers Boots Buckz Viz safety boots are designed for adult males seeking high-visibility, durable, and comfortable footwear for demanding work environments. Their key benefit is the combination of exceptional safety features with striking visual appeal, ensuring wearer presence in any lighting condition. A potential caveat is the specialized nature of high-visibility gear, which might not suit all professional settings. These boots integrate safety, performance, weight-saving, and comfort at a great value, featuring EN safety, hi-viz fluorescent Cordura®, and cowhide leather uppers with reflective piping for maximum visibility. They also include a heavy-duty YKK side zipper, abrasion-resistant microfibre, and a maximum-rated slip-resistant rubber sole.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
These boots are designed for general work conditions and offer good protection. While they are waterproof, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very cold environments, consider adding thermal socks or a heavier insulated boot.
How do I clean the hi-viz Cordura® material?
Wipe the Cordura® with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the fabric and its fluorescent properties.
What does SRC slip resistance mean?
SRC (Slip Resistance Coefficient) is the highest rating for slip resistance, indicating the boots have passed tests on both ceramic tiles with detergent and steel with glycerol, offering maximum protection against slips on various surfaces.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are detachable and washable. You can replace them with your own preferred insoles if needed, as long as they fit within the boot without compromising the fit.
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, the boots feature a waterproof Cordura® and leather upper, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
What is the benefit of the PU anti-scuff toe protector?
The PU (Polyurethane) anti-scuff toe protector adds a layer of durable material to the toe area, significantly increasing resistance to abrasion and scuffs, thus extending the boot's lifespan in high-wear zones.
How often should I re-waterproof the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It's generally recommended to reapply waterproofing treatment every few months or when you notice the leather starting to absorb water.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Break in the boots by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. Remove and wash the insole if it feels uncomfortable, and ensure it's fully dry before reinserting.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric or debris caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If necessary, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (e.g., pencil lead) to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Reduced slip resistance
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any oil, mud, or debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the surface you are walking on is also clear of contaminants.
Visible wear on leather or Cordura®
Clean the affected areas gently. Apply a suitable leather conditioner or waterproofing treatment to the leather to restore its suppleness and protection. For Cordura®, ensure it's cleaned according to care instructions to prevent further fraying.
