FAQs
Are these boots suitable for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, their tactical design and safety features are primarily optimized for work environments. They can be worn casually, but their aesthetic is work-oriented.
How do I know if I need Electrical Hazard protection?
Electrical Hazard (EH) protection is recommended for workers in environments where there's a risk of encountering live electrical circuits, such as electricians, maintenance workers, or those on factory floors.
What is the benefit of the 'Relaxed Fit' design?
The Relaxed Fit design provides more room in the toe box and forefoot, offering enhanced comfort for all-day wear and reducing pressure points, especially for those with wider feet.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
The durability of the waterproof membrane depends on usage and care. Regular cleaning and occasional application of a leather protector can help maintain its effectiveness. Expected lifespan varies with the intensity of the work environment.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the boots are designed to accommodate aftermarket insoles if you prefer a different type of cushioning or arch support, provided they are of a similar size and thickness.
What is the shaft height of these boots?
The shaft height is 4 inches, providing a balance of ankle support and mobility.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 'Relaxed Fit' design offers more room, but initial wear may require a short break-in period. Wear with appropriate socks for your work environment.
Water is seeping in
Check the integrity of the waterproof membrane. Ensure all laces are tightened and seams are intact. Minor wear may affect water resistance over time; reapply water-repellent treatment if necessary.
Reduced traction on surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, oil, or debris that may be caked in the treads. The slip-resistant properties are most effective on clean surfaces.
Cushioning feels less effective
The Memory Foam insole may compress slightly over time. Consider adding an aftermarket insole for additional cushioning if needed after extended use.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather and mesh upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
