Dunlop On Site Steel Toe Cap Boots - Black - UK 7

EN ISO 20345 is an international standard for safety footwear. The 'SB' classification indicates that these boots meet basic safety requirements, including a steel toe cap providing protection against impact (200 Joules) and compression (15,000 Newtons).

While the Nubuck leather upper offers a degree of water resistance, these boots are not explicitly rated as waterproof. For enhanced water protection, we recommend applying a suitable waterproof treatment specifically designed for Nubuck leather.

Always wear the type of socks you typically use for work when trying on the boots. Lace them up fully, ensuring a snug fit around the ankle and instep without being overly tight. Your toes should have enough room to wiggle freely. Walk around to ensure there are no pressure points or excessive slipping.

Yes, the cushioned insole is generally removable. You can replace it with orthotic insoles or other comfort insoles if desired, as long as the replacement does not compromise the fit or safety features of the boot.

The lifespan of safety boots depends heavily on usage, environment, and care. With proper maintenance and use in appropriate conditions, these durable Nubuck leather boots are designed for extended service. Regularly inspect for wear on the sole, upper, and protective features; replace them if safety elements are compromised.

These boots offer standard protection and comfort. While the leather provides some insulation, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold or designed for highly elevated temperatures. For specialized thermal requirements, specific insulated or breathable safety footwear might be more appropriate.

Safety boots, especially those made with leather, often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Thicker work socks can also help cushion your feet during this phase.

The inner lining is textile, but for prolonged comfort, ensure you are wearing breathable, moisture-wicking socks. Allow boots to air out completely between uses. If the issue persists, consider replacing the insole with a more breathable, absorbent option.

Regularly inspect the moulded outsole and rugged lugs for embedded dirt, mud, or debris, which can reduce grip. Clean the sole thoroughly with a brush and water. If the sole appears excessively worn or damaged, it may be time to consider replacement for safety.

Use a specialized Nubuck cleaning brush to gently brush away surface dirt and restore the texture. For tougher marks, a specific Nubuck cleaner can be applied according to product instructions. A protective spray can help prevent future scuffs and enhance water resistance.
