Dunlop On Site Steel Toe Cap Boots - Brown - 12

The product description does not specify these boots as fully waterproof. While the leather upper offers some resistance to moisture, they are not designed for prolonged immersion. For enhanced water resistance, consider applying a suitable leather protector or waterproofing spray.

EN ISO 20345 is an international standard for safety footwear. The 'SB' designation indicates that the boots meet basic safety requirements, including a steel toe cap that provides 200 Joule impact protection and 15,000 Newton compression resistance.

It's best to clean your boots regularly after each use, especially if they've been exposed to dirt, mud, or chemicals. This prevents build-up and helps preserve the leather and sole integrity.

While labeled for men, the fit is regular and true to size, meaning anyone whose foot size matches the UK sizing can wear them comfortably. However, the design and styling are traditionally masculine.

The description states they have an oil-resistant and anti-slip sole. It does not mention electrical hazard (EH) or anti-static (A) properties. For specific electrical work, consult with your workplace safety officer and ensure the boots meet those specific requirements beyond general safety.

The lifespan of safety boots depends heavily on usage, environment, and care. With proper maintenance and use in appropriate conditions, these durable leather boots are designed for long-term wear. Always inspect them regularly for signs of wear that could compromise safety.

The boots are described as 'regular and true to size.' We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up to allow for thicker work socks.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate work socks. Re-lace the boots to ensure a secure, even fit without overtightening. Allow for a break-in period; leather will soften with wear. If discomfort persists, check if the size is correct or consider orthopedic insoles.

Regularly clean the sole treads to remove embedded dirt, mud, or oil that can reduce traction. Inspect for excessive wear on the rubber lugs; significant wear means the anti-slip properties are compromised, and the boots may need replacing.

This indicates the leather needs conditioning. Clean the boots thoroughly and apply a specialized Nubuck leather conditioner or protector. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.

While steel toe caps offer protection, they can conduct cold in chilly environments. Wearing thicker, insulated work socks can help mitigate this. Consider specific thermal socks if working in very cold conditions.
