Dunlop On Site Steel Toe Cap Boots - Brown - UK 5

`EN ISO 20345` is the European standard for safety footwear. The 'SB' designation indicates 'Safety Basic,' meaning the boots provide basic protective features including a steel toe cap for impact and compression protection (200 Joules and 15,000 Newtons respectively), and are designed for general professional use.

While the Nubuck leather upper offers some natural resistance to moisture, these boots are not explicitly rated as fully waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, we recommend applying a suitable waterproofing spray or treatment designed for Nubuck leather.

These boots follow standard UK sizing for adult footwear. It's generally recommended to try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear for work. Ensure there is enough room for your toes to move comfortably, but the fit around the heel and ankle is snug.

While technically possible, these boots are specifically designed and certified for demanding work environments, prioritizing safety and durability. Their robust construction and protective features might make them less suitable for purely casual, everyday wear compared to non-safety footwear.

The frequency of cleaning depends on your work environment. For optimal performance and longevity, clean your boots regularly after use, especially if exposed to dirt, mud, or chemicals. A quick brush down after each shift and a deeper clean as needed is recommended.

If the steel toe cap becomes visible, dented, or the integrity of the boot's protective structure is compromised, the boot's safety features may be impaired. For your safety, it is crucial to replace the boots immediately as they may no longer offer adequate protection.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate work socks. Allow for a break-in period; new boots often need time to conform to your feet. Check lacing to ensure a secure but not overly tight fit. If discomfort persists, consider orthotic insoles or check sizing.

Inspect the sole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole regularly to remove dirt, mud, or oils that can reduce traction. If the tread is significantly worn, the protective qualities of the anti-slip sole may be compromised, and replacement may be necessary.

Clean the Nubuck leather thoroughly with a soft brush. Apply a specialized nubuck conditioner or water-repellent spray according to the product's instructions. Regular conditioning helps maintain the leather's flexibility and protective properties.
