Full details
The JCB Workmax Black Boot is designed for adult males requiring durable and protective footwear for demanding work environments. Its primary benefit is offering S1P safety compliance with a steel midsole and toe cap, combined with oil and slip-resistant outsoles for enhanced underfoot safety and durability.

FAQs
What safety standards do these boots meet?
These boots meet the EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P SRA safety standards, indicating they have a steel toecap, steel midsole, are anti-static, and offer basic slip resistance.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are constructed from leather and mesh and are not explicitly rated as waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not designed for prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean. Allow to air dry and consider using a leather conditioner.
What is the benefit of the steel midsole?
The steel midsole provides protection against sharp objects penetrating the sole of the boot, reducing the risk of foot injuries from nails or other piercing hazards.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the boots feature a removable EVA contoured footbed. You can replace it with your preferred aftermarket insole for additional support or cushioning, provided it fits within the boot without compromising safety.
What does 'SRA slip resistant' mean?
SRA indicates that the boots have been tested on a ceramic tile floor with diluted soap solution and have passed the slip resistance test, offering a good level of grip in such conditions.
Are these boots suitable for women?
While designed primarily for men, women can wear these boots if they select the appropriate size. However, the fit and design are based on men's sizing standards.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Use thicker socks if needed for a snugger fit. Consider an additional insole for extra cushioning.
Reduced slip resistance
Clean the outsoles thoroughly as dirt and debris can impede grip. Ensure the floor surface itself is not excessively contaminated. The slip resistance is rated SRA, which is tested on ceramic tile floors covered with soap solution.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for work boots to restore moisture and suppleness. Light scuffs can often be buffed out or covered with a matching leather polish.
