Full details
The Rock Fall Vector safety boots are designed for professionals working in demanding construction or outdoor environments who require high-level foot protection. These boots provide a critical safety advantage with their EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 SRC compliance, featuring impact-resistant toe caps and specialized anti-static features. While they offer robust performance, the heavy-duty construction means they may feel stiffer than standard casual footwear, necessitating a short break-in period.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They feature a water-repellent leather upper designed to keep out moisture, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof like submersible rubber boots.
What does the S3 SRC rating mean?
S3 denotes that the boot has a toe cap, anti-penetration midsole, and water-repellent upper. SRC indicates that the boots have passed both SRA and SRB slip-resistance tests.
Can I replace the footbed?
Yes, but ensure any replacement insole is ESD-compatible if you require the anti-static properties of the boot.
How heavy are these boots compared to steel-toe versions?
The fibreglass toe cap is generally lighter than a steel equivalent, reducing overall fatigue during long work days.
Are these suitable for chemical environments?
While the leather is durable, please consult your specific site safety officer regarding the chemical resistance of the leather and rubber components for your specific industry.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel uncomfortable or stiff during first wear
This is normal for high-durability safety leather. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
Accumulation of dirt affecting slip resistance
Clean the tread pattern of the outsole with a stiff brush to restore the SRC-rated grip.
Water leaking through after heavy exposure
Apply a dedicated leather treatment or waterproofing spray compatible with safety boots to refresh the water-repellent barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rock Fall Vector boots, follow these practices:
- Fitting: Ensure the boots are worn with appropriate moisture-wicking socks to aid in comfort and prevent blisters during the break-in phase.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt and mud with a soft brush after use. Wipe down the leather with a damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents that may damage the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them directly against radiators or heat sources, as this can crack the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the outsole for embedded sharp objects and check the upper for cracks to ensure the safety integrity remains intact.
