FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for airport security?
Yes, because the shoes feature metal-free composite protection instead of steel, they are generally compliant with metal detectors.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The upper is water-resistant, making them suitable for light moisture; however, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged.
Do they provide electrical protection?
They are ESD certified, which helps dissipate electrostatic charges safely, but they are not rated as primary electrical hazard (EH) boots for live current work.
How do I determine the right size?
They follow standard UK sizing. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front for maximum comfort during long shifts.
Are the insoles replaceable?
The internal insoles can be removed and replaced with orthotic or cushioned inserts if desired, provided they do not compromise the safety profile of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Footwear feels uncomfortable or stiff
Utilize a break-in period by wearing them for limited hours initially and ensure you are using the correct size for your foot width.
Loss of traction on floors
Clean the soles thoroughly with warm water and a brush to remove debris or oil buildup that may be compromising the anti-slip performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Blackrock Brogue Safety Shoes, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the leather and sole to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and dirt after each shift using a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a leather-appropriate cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the upper from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, which can damage the PU sole integrity.
- Replacement: Inspect the soles and toe caps regularly. Replace the shoes immediately if the leather upper is torn or if the sole shows signs of excessive tread wear.
