FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the nubuck leather upper offers some natural resistance, and the boots are designed for demanding environments, they are not explicitly listed as waterproof. Applying a nubuck protector spray can enhance water resistance.
What does EN ISO 20345 (SB) mean?
EN ISO 20345 is the European standard for safety footwear. 'SB' (Safety Basic) indicates that the boots meet the basic safety requirements, including toe protection against impact (200 Joules) and compression (15,000 Newtons).
How often should I clean my boots?
Regular cleaning is recommended, especially after working in dirty or wet conditions. A quick brush-down after each use and a deeper clean periodically will help maintain their condition and extend their lifespan.
Can men wear these 'Ladies' boots'?
While designed for women, men can wear them if the sizing and fit are comfortable. However, specific men's safety boot styles might offer a better anatomical fit for male feet.
Do I need to buy special socks for these safety boots?
While not mandatory, wearing good quality work socks, especially those designed to wick moisture and provide extra cushioning, can significantly enhance comfort and hygiene when wearing safety boots for long periods.
What is nubuck leather?
Nubuck leather is top-grain cattle leather that has been sanded or buffed on the grain side (outer side) to give it a slight nap of short protein fibers, producing a velvet-like surface. It is known for its durability but requires specific care.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel uncomfortable or rub
Ensure you are wearing appropriate work socks. Re-adjust lacing for a better fit. Allow for a break-in period; nubuck leather can soften with wear. Check if the size is correct.
Sole feels slippery despite being anti-slip
Inspect the sole for embedded dirt, grease, or debris that might be compromising traction. Clean the rugged lugs thoroughly. Be aware that no sole is 100% slip-proof on all surfaces.
Nubuck leather looks faded or dirty
Clean the nubuck using a soft brush or specialized nubuck eraser/cleaner. Apply a nubuck protector spray to restore appearance and water resistance.
My feet are getting too hot or sweaty
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. The textile inner lining helps with breathability, but in very warm conditions, consider taking short breaks to air out your feet. Replace insoles with more breathable options if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Wearing
- Ensure boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Use the lace-up front to achieve a snug fit that supports your ankle without restricting movement.
- Wear the boots for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These boots meet the EN ISO 20345:2004 / A1: 2007 SB safety standard, indicating they provide basic safety requirements, including toe protection. They are suitable for environments requiring certified safety footwear.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: For the nubuck leather upper, use a soft brush or specialized nubuck cleaner to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the material.
- Drying: If boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack or stiffen the leather.
- Conditioning: Use a nubuck-specific protector spray to maintain water resistance and the material's appearance.
- Sole Care: Regularly inspect the outsole for embedded debris. Clean the rugged lugs to maintain optimal traction.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
