FAQs
What is the specific safety rating of these boots?
These boots have an EN ISO 20345 S1 SRC safety rating. This means they feature a protective toe cap, are antistatic, and have energy absorption in the heel, along with slip resistance.
Are these boots suitable for women?
Yes, these are unisex safety boots and are suitable for both men and women. Proper sizing is essential for a good fit.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for nubuck or action leather, and always allow the boots to air dry naturally.
What does SRC slip resistance mean?
SRC is the highest slip resistance rating, meaning the boots have been tested for slip resistance on ceramic tile with SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and on stainless steel with glycerol. It indicates excellent grip properties on various surfaces.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces can be replaced. It is recommended to use durable work boot laces to ensure a secure fit and longevity.
Are these boots waterproof?
The description does not specify waterproof capabilities. The leather material may offer some resistance to light moisture, but they are not designed as waterproof boots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot shape. Adjust lacing for a personalized fit.
Laces are difficult to secure or keep tied.
Check the laces for any fraying or damage. Consider replacing them with new, sturdy work boot laces if necessary. Experiment with different lacing techniques for a more secure knot.
Sole appears to be separating from the upper.
This may indicate significant wear or damage. Inspect the boot thoroughly. If the separation compromises safety features, discontinue use and consider replacement.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
While rated SRC, performance can vary. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris or contaminants that could affect grip. If the sole is significantly worn, replacement may be needed.
