Product Information
Full details
The Grafters Antioch Safety Rigger Wellingtons are designed for adult males working in demanding industrial environments who require a combination of heavy-duty protection and thermal comfort. These boots feature a robust steel toe cap and midsole for comprehensive impact and penetration resistance, while the internal fleece lining provides essential warmth during extended outdoor shifts. While these boots offer exceptional S5 safety compliance and 100% waterproof construction, their substantial build and high-top design mean they are best suited for rugged manual labor rather than light-duty tasks or casual wear.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for electrical work?
These boots are rated to S5 safety standards, which focus on physical protection. They are not specifically insulated for electrical hazards.
Do I need to treat the exterior with a spray?
No, the PVC material is inherently 100% waterproof and does not require additional waterproofing treatments.
Can I remove the fleece lining?
No, the fleece lining is integrated into the construction of the boot for thermal retention and comfort.
Are these boots true to size?
They generally fit true to UK standard sizing; however, we recommend wearing work-weight socks to ensure a proper fit.
What does the S5 safety rating mean?
S5 compliance indicates the boot has a steel toe cap, a steel midsole, is antistatic, has an energy-absorbing heel, and is fully waterproof.
Can I wear these on ice?
While the PVC and nitrile sole offers good traction, it is not a specialized anti-ice sole. Always exercise caution on icy surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during the first use
Wear thick socks initially to prevent irritation and allow the material to flex and conform to your foot shape through natural movement.
Condensation inside the boot
If the exterior is waterproof, moisture may be trapped sweat. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks and remove the boots periodically to let them air out.
Difficulty pulling the boots on
Use a specialized boot jack or a plastic bag over the foot to reduce friction when sliding your heel past the bend of the boot.

- Fully waterproof design for wet conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Grafters Antioch Wellingtons, rinse the boots with lukewarm water after each shift to remove mud, chemicals, or abrasive dirt from the outer shell. Allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the PVC material. Since these are pull-on rigger boots, ensure your socks are pulled up properly to prevent chafing during initial wear. Check the outsole regularly for stones or debris lodged in the tread to maintain optimal traction. If the interior fleece lining becomes damp, use a boot dryer on a low, non-heat setting to prevent odors and moisture buildup.
