Product Information
Full details
The Tuffking Glacier Safety Rigger Boot is designed for construction, industrial, and outdoor workers who require heavy-duty foot protection in harsh, cold environments. Its primary benefit is the combination of rugged tan Apollo leather construction with an internal fur lining, providing both safety and warmth; however, the heavy-duty materials result in a heavier boot that may feel less agile for those used to lightweight trainers.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are made from water-resistant Apollo leather, meaning they are designed to handle damp conditions, though they should not be submerged in deep water for extended periods.
Can I wear these in the summer?
Due to the thick fur lining, these boots are best suited for winter or cold environments and may be too warm for summer use.
Do these have a steel midsole?
Yes, they include a steel midsole to protect the feet from sharp objects penetrating from the ground.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents and apply a quality leather conditioner occasionally to prevent the material from drying out.
Is the sole resistant to chemicals?
Yes, the dual-density PU outsole is specifically formulated to be resistant to both oil and acid.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during first use
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the boots for short durations daily to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
Interior lining feels damp
This is often due to sweat accumulation. Remove the boots after work and allow them to air out in a dry location, or use a boot dryer on a low-heat setting.
Outsole losing grip
Check the tread for debris buildup or hardened oil residues. Scrub the soles with warm soapy water and a stiff brush to restore traction.

- Highly durable leather construction
- Resistant to common industrial chemicals, oil, and acid

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are pull-on rigger boots, no setup or adjustment of laces is required. To ensure longevity, keep the boots away from direct high-heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack over time. Regularly wipe off mud or chemical spills with a damp cloth after each shift. If the boots become saturated, air-dry them slowly in a cool, well-ventilated area. Periodically applying a leather conditioner will help maintain the suppleness of the Apollo leather, ensuring it remains water-resistant and crack-free.
