FAQs
What safety standard do these boots meet?
The Hunter Safety Drift Dealer Boots meet the EN ISO 20345:2022 safety standard with a safety rating of OB.
Are these boots truly slip-resistant?
Yes, they feature an SR rated slip-resistant outsole designed to provide enhanced grip on various surfaces, including oily and wet conditions.
Can I remove the footbed for orthotics?
Yes, the PU footbed is removable, allowing space for custom orthotics or insoles if needed.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a damp cloth and use a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Always allow the boots to air dry away from direct heat.
What does the 'LG' rating mean?

Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the boots for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Using them for light tasks can help soften the leather.
Reduced slip resistance
Ensure the SR rated outsole is clean. Oil, mud, or other residues can affect grip. Clean the sole with water and a brush. If the wear pattern on the sole is significantly diminished, consider replacement.
Difficulty pulling boots on
Ensure the elasticated gusset is clear of debris. If the fit is very snug, try pulling them on using the twin pull loops. If a size issue is suspected, check if a larger size is needed.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. Ensure boots are not stored near heat sources or left in direct sunlight for extended periods.

Care:
