FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

While the Nubuck leather offers some natural water resistance, these Dunlop On Site boots are not specifically rated as waterproof. For enhanced protection in wet conditions, we recommend applying a suitable water-repellent treatment designed for nubuck leather.

What safety standards do these boots meet?

These boots comply with the EN ISO 20345 (SB) safety standard. This certifies they include a steel toe cap providing 200 Joules of impact protection and 15,000 Newtons of compression resistance.

How should I clean the Nubuck leather?

To clean Nubuck leather, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid using harsh soaps or submerging the boots in water. Always allow them to air dry completely.

Are these boots heavy?

No, the Dunlop On Site Steel Toe Cap Boots are designed to be lightweight, minimizing foot fatigue during long working hours while still providing robust safety features.

What is the recommended sizing for these boots?

These boots are described as 'true to size'. It is generally recommended to order your usual shoe size. If you plan to wear thick work socks, you might consider this when choosing your size.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, standard insoles can typically be removed and replaced with aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort or orthopedic support, if needed.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel uncomfortable or are rubbing

Ensure you have completed a break-in period. Check your sock type; thick, moisture-wicking socks can improve comfort. Re-adjust lacing to ensure an even, secure fit without being too tight. If discomfort persists, inspect for any internal irregularities or consider adding comfort insoles.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Thoroughly clean the outsole to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or grease that might be affecting the anti-slip properties. Regularly check the rubber lugs for excessive wear; severely worn soles may indicate it's time for replacement.

Boots develop an odor

Ensure the boots are fully aired out after each use. Remove any insoles to allow them to dry separately. The mesh lining helps with breathability, but for persistent odors, use an anti-odor spray specifically for footwear or insert cedar shoe trees/odor absorbers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior toe protection against impacts and compression
  • Excellent grip and slip resistance on challenging surfaces
  • Enhanced comfort through padded collar, tongue, and mesh lining
  • Durable Nubuck leather construction for longevity
  • Meets international safety standards (EN ISO 20345 (SB))
  • Lightweight design reduces foot fatigue

Cons

  • May require a short break-in period due to leather material
  • Nubuck leather requires specific cleaning and care to maintain appearance
  • Steel toe caps can transfer cold in very low temperatures
  • Brown color may show dirt and grime more readily than darker variants

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Before first use, fully unlace the boots. Put them on and adjust the laces evenly, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The padded ankle collar and tongue should feel comfortable around your foot and ankle.
  2. Break-in Period: Like most quality leather footwear, these boots may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially, gradually increasing wear time until they mold to your feet for optimal comfort.

Compatibility

These boots are certified to EN ISO 20345 (SB) standards. This means they meet basic safety requirements including a steel toe cap for impact (200 Joule) and compression (15,000 Newton) protection. They are compatible with environments requiring standard safety footwear.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning the Nubuck Leather Upper: Regularly brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft brush specifically designed for nubuck. For stubborn stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing, which can damage the material. Allow the boots to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  • Sole Maintenance: Periodically check the rubber lugs on the outsole for wear and tear. Clean the sole to remove embedded dirt or debris, which can compromise the anti-slip properties.
  • Inner Lining Care: The mesh lining can be wiped down with a damp cloth if needed. To minimize odors, ensure boots are aired out after each use and consider using odor-absorbing inserts.
  • Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in damp conditions to prevent mildew and material degradation.
  • Water Resistance: While the leather upper offers some natural resistance, these boots are not explicitly waterproof. Consider applying a suitable water-repellent spray designed for nubuck leather if working in damp conditions.
