Skechers Workshire Safety Boots - Black - UK 11

The full grain leather upper offers some natural water resistance, but these boots are not specifically advertised as waterproof. For optimal protection in wet conditions, we recommend applying a waterproof treatment designed for leather work boots.

This rating signifies that the boots meet European safety standards. 'EN ISO 20345:2011' is the standard for safety footwear. 'SB' means the boots have basic safety features including a 200 joule impact resistant toe cap. 'SRA' indicates slip resistance on ceramic tile wetted with a dilute soap solution.

Yes, the Memory Foam cushioned removable comfort insole is designed to be removable. This allows you to insert your own custom orthotics or specialized insoles if preferred, ensuring personalized comfort and support.

To maintain optimal traction, regularly clean the Nitrile rubber oil resistant outsole with a stiff brush and warm, soapy water to remove any embedded dirt, oil, or debris. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.

The 'Relaxed Fit' design provides a roomier fit, especially in the toe box area. This is intended to give your toes more space to spread out, enhancing comfort and reducing pressure, which is beneficial during long hours on your feet.

The frequency of conditioning depends on how often you wear the boots and the conditions they are exposed to. For regular use in demanding environments, conditioning every 1-2 months is a good practice. If the leather appears dry or stiff, it's time to condition.

Ensure you have the correct size. The Relaxed Fit provides extra toe room, but initial wear can still feel snug. Allow for a short break-in period. Also, check your sock thickness; very thick socks can reduce the perceived room. If discomfort persists, ensure laces are not overtightened and consider if the removable insole is properly seated.

The Nitrile rubber lug traction oil resistant flexible outsole is designed for superior grip, but excessive oil or other substances can still reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of embedded debris. Regularly inspect the sole for wear and tear; a worn outsole will have reduced grip. Always exercise caution on extremely slippery surfaces.

This is often a sign of insufficient conditioning. Refer to the care instructions: regularly clean and treat the full grain leather upper with a good proprietary leather conditioning product. Avoid using caustic cleaning agents and ensure boots are dried naturally away from direct heat.

While these boots feature Memory Foam and a shock absorbing supportive lightweight midsole, extreme conditions or very long shifts can still cause fatigue. Ensure your socks provide adequate cushioning and support. Check that the insoles are properly positioned. If fatigue is persistent, consider rotating between two pairs of boots to allow them to fully air out and recover.
