FAQs
Are these boots suitable for construction sites?
Yes, they are specifically designed for demanding work environments with features like a composite toe cap, anti-penetration midsole, and excellent traction.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Allow to air dry naturally.
What is the benefit of the non-metallic midsole?
It provides protection against sharp objects penetrating the sole while being lighter than traditional steel midsoles and can be advantageous in environments with metal detectors.
Can I replace the footbed?
Yes, the PU footbed is removable and can be replaced with your own preferred insoles for customized comfort and support.
How resistant are these boots to heat?
The rubber outsole is heat resistant up to 300 degrees Celsius.
What does 'Antistatic' mean for these boots?
Antistatic properties help to reduce the build-up of static electricity, which can be important in certain industrial or hazardous environments.
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a full-grain leather upper and an internal waterproof membrane to ensure your feet stay dry.
Troubleshooting
Boots leak water
Check for any visible damage to the leather, seams, or internal membrane. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water entry. If damage is found, consider repair or replacement.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove mud, oil, or debris. Inspect the tread for excessive wear. If worn, the boot's grip may be compromised.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. The removable footbed can be replaced with an aftermarket insole if a different level of arch support or cushioning is desired. Allow a break-in period.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a quality leather conditioner to the outer material. Ensure the boots are not being dried too close to heat sources.
