FAQs
What type of protection do these boots offer?
These boots offer certified protection with a 200 Joule steel toe cap against impact and compression hazards. The outsole is also heat, fuel, and oil resistant.
Are these boots suitable for very hot environments?
Yes, the nitrile rubber outsole is heat resistant up to 300°C, making them suitable for environments with high surface temperatures.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild leather cleaner and allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I replace the internal footbed?
Yes, the boots come with a removable PU footbed that can be replaced with custom insoles or a new footbed if needed.
What does 'Goodyear Welted' construction mean for the boots?
Goodyear Welted construction is a traditional method that creates a very strong and durable bond between the upper, midsole, and outsole. It also allows for resoling the boots, extending their lifespan.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is made from full-grain leather, known for its durability and resilience.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide and choose your correct UK size. It is recommended to measure your foot to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary between brands.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new, durable leather boots. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Reduced grip on certain surfaces.
Check the nitrile rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole thoroughly with water and a brush. If the tread is significantly worn, consider replacement.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a quality leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Ensure the boots are cleaned and dried properly after exposure to moisture and are stored away from extreme heat.
Padded collar is causing irritation.
Ensure the laces are not overtightened. If irritation persists, check for any debris trapped in the padding or consider if the boot height is suitable for your activity.
