Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots feature a water-resistant upper made from Magnashield leather and nylon, which helps protect against light moisture. They are not fully waterproof and prolonged immersion in water is not recommended.
What does the EN ISO 20347:2012 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the boots meet European standards for occupational footwear, focusing on safety features like slip resistance (SRA), oil resistance (FO), and basic protective requirements (OB E). It is a standard for non-safety-toe footwear.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer and measure your foot length. The product description specifies this particular boot is a UK size 8.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the boots come with a removable contour moulded insole that can be taken out. You can replace it with your own preferred insoles or orthotics if needed.
Are these boots suitable for heavy-duty industrial environments?
These boots are certified for occupational use (EN ISO 20347:2012). For environments requiring enhanced protection like steel toes or puncture-resistant soles, you would need to look for boots certified under EN ISO 20345 standards.
How often should I clean my boots?
Regular cleaning after use, especially in dirty or wet conditions, is recommended to maintain the materials and extend the life of the boots. A quick wipe down after each shift is ideal.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the boots around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using the removable insole or replacing it with a thinner one if needed.
Side zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently work the zipper up and down a few times. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or beeswax to the teeth. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper track.
Feet feel damp or sweaty
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Allow boots to dry completely between wears. Clean the moisture-wicking lining as per care instructions.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole with water to remove any embedded debris or oils that may be affecting traction. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather and nylon upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the boots become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
