FAQs
What is the primary safety feature of these boots?
The primary safety feature is the SR (Slip Resistant) rated outsole, designed to provide excellent traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart and measure your foot. It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you will typically wear.
Can these boots be worn by women?
While designed for men, women can wear them if the sizing is appropriate and the fit is comfortable for their feet.
Are these boots waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproof capabilities. The leather is suitable for protection against general occupational hazards, but prolonged exposure to significant water may not be ideal without specific waterproofing treatment.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
It is recommended to clean the boots after each significant use and condition the leather periodically, especially if exposed to dry conditions or wear, to maintain its longevity.
What does 'TPU Heel Counter' mean for durability?
A TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) heel counter provides reinforced support and structure to the heel area, increasing the boot's overall durability and protecting the foot.
Is the footbed removable?
Yes, the PU footbed is described as removable, allowing for easy cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics if desired.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If arch support feels insufficient, consider using custom insoles.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the deep-cleated outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, oil, or debris that might be obstructing the grip pattern. Check for wear on the TPU sole.
Difficulty pulling boots on
Ensure the elastic gusset is not obstructed. Use the twin pull loops provided. For initial wear, a light dusting of talcum powder inside the boot can help.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a leather conditioner and use a soft cloth to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper scuffs, a colored leather cream may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use straight out of the box. No assembly or setup is required.
Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of adult male users requiring occupational footwear. Compatible with standard workwear trousers. Please refer to the sizing chart to ensure the correct UK size is selected.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Drying: If the boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
- Outsole Care: Clean the outsole grooves to maintain optimal grip and remove any embedded debris.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a boot bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
