Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

Yes, they feature an integrated waterproof and breathable membrane.

Do these boots have a steel toe cap?

Yes, they are equipped with a 200 Joule steel toe cap for high-level impact protection.

Can I resole these boots?

Yes, the Goodyear welted construction allows for the soles to be professionally replaced when they eventually wear out.

Are they suitable for warehouse work?

They are ideal for warehouses due to the oil and slip-resistant outsole and puncture-resistant steel midsole.

How should I clean the leather?

Use a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and apply a leather cream to maintain flexibility.

What does the steel midsole protect against?

The steel midsole provides penetration resistance against sharp objects like nails and metal shards on the ground.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff initially

Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short intervals indoors or on light walks to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.

Water entering the boot

Ensure the laces are tied properly and the bellows tongue is folded flat. If leakage persists, check for damage to the leather surface or the stitching of the welt.

Insole feels uncomfortable

The included insoles are removable. You may replace them with aftermarket orthotics if you require specific arch support or cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your boots, ensure you select your correct UK shoe size, as the boots are designed for a standard fit.

Care Instructions:

  1. Clean off mud and dirt after use using a soft brush.
  2. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the grain supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Avoid drying leather near direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to become brittle.
  4. Remove the antistatic insole occasionally to allow the interior of the boot to air out.
  5. Inspect the sole regularly for embedded sharp objects or excessive wear on the tread pattern.
