FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

Yes, they are equipped with an integrated waterproof and breathable membrane.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the boots feature a removable anatomic antistatic insole that can be swapped out.

Are these suitable for light outdoor work?

Absolutely, the leather construction and bellows tongue make them ideal for outdoor work where protection and debris control are needed.

Do they contain metal parts?

Yes, they contain a steel toe cap and a steel mid-sole for safety protection.

How do I maintain the leather?

Clean regularly with a damp cloth and apply a high-quality leather conditioner or wax to keep the material hydrated.

Is the sole resistant to chemicals?

The sole is designed for oil and slip resistance, which provides protection against common industrial spills.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff during initial wear.

Wear the boots for shorter intervals initially to allow the leather and sole to flex and mold to your foot shape.

Reduced traction on slippery surfaces.

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern.

Foot discomfort or pressure points.

Check the lacing tension and ensure the tongue is centered; consider replacing the removable insole if it has become worn over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your leather safety boots, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe off mud and debris daily using a damp cloth. Allow them to dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather balm or wax periodically to maintain the suppleness of the full-grain leather and prevent cracking.
  3. Insole Care: Remove the anatomic insole after long shifts to allow it to air out, which helps maintain freshness.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp, unventilated lockers for extended periods.
