FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots feature a water-resistant Magnashield leather and nylon upper, suitable for light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. Prolonged immersion in water is not recommended.
What does EN ISO 20347:2012 OB E FO SRA certification mean?
This certification indicates the boots meet European standards for occupational footwear. OB signifies basic requirements, E denotes energy absorption in the heel, FO means resistance to fuel oil, and SRA signifies slip resistance on ceramic surfaces.
How do I clean the boots?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Use a specific leather cleaner and conditioner for the leather parts, and mild soap and water for nylon. Air dry away from direct heat.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the boots come with a removable contour moulded insole that can be replaced with your own preferred insoles if desired.
Are these considered safety boots?
These boots are certified to EN ISO 20347:2012 (non-safety protective footwear). They do not have reinforced toe caps or specific impact protection features required for safety boots (EN ISO 20345).
What is the primary advantage of the side zip?
The YKK circular side-zip allows for very quick and easy on and off, which is a significant time-saver and convenience for users who need to put on and remove their footwear frequently.
What type of socks are best to wear with these boots?
For optimal comfort and moisture management, wearing moisture-wicking socks made from synthetic materials or wool blends is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period of several wears. Wearing appropriate socks can also improve comfort during this phase.
Water seeping through material
The upper is water-resistant, not waterproof. For prolonged exposure to wet conditions, consider water-repellent treatment or alternative footwear. Ensure any cleaning products used are suitable for water resistance.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure the zipper is free of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Feet feel warm or sweaty
The moisture-wicking lining is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. If excessive sweating persists, consider the ambient temperature and task demands.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.
Compatibility:
These boots are designed for general occupational use and comply with EN ISO 20347:2012 standards. They are not safety boots with toe protection unless specifically indicated by a different model variant. Always check specific workplace regulations to ensure compliance.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe away dirt and mud with a damp cloth. For leather components, use a suitable leather cleaner and conditioner periodically. For nylon, a mild soap and water solution is effective.
