Product Information
Full details
The Rock Fall Silt Safety Wellingtons are designed for adult workers in industrial, agricultural, or construction environments who require maximum protection without the bulk of traditional steel-toe boots. These boots provide an excellent balance of heavy-duty safety features, such as 100% non-metallic construction and high-heat resistance, and daily comfort thanks to their specialized anti-fatigue footbeds; however, users should note that as non-breathable rubber-style boots, they may feel warm during extended wear in extreme temperatures.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, the 5mm neoprene construction provides full water resistance, making them ideal for wet and muddy conditions.
Do these boots contain any metal?
No, the Silt series is 100% non-metallic, utilizing fibreglass toecaps and composite midsoles.
What does the S5 SRC rating mean?
S5 indicates the boot has a protective toecap, anti-penetration midsole, and an anti-static/waterproof construction. SRC signifies the highest level of slip resistance on both ceramic and steel surfaces.
Can I replace the footbeds?
Yes, the Activ-Step PU footbeds are removable, allowing you to swap them for your preferred orthopedic insoles if needed.
Are these suitable for vegan workers?
Yes, the boots are manufactured using synthetic materials and are certified as vegan-friendly.
How should I choose the right size?
These boots are sized in standard UK sizing. We recommend wearing the same thickness of sock you plan to use on the job when trying them on for fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on the inside
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking work socks and allow the boots to fully air-dry between shifts to clear out trapped condensation.
Difficult to remove after a long shift
Use a boot jack to leverage the heel, which prevents excessive pulling on the neoprene material.
Outer surface appears dull or chalky
This is a natural occurrence known as blooming in rubber. Wipe down with a damp cloth and a specialized rubber conditioning spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rock Fall Silt boots, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Rinse the exterior with clean water after use in mud or chemical environments. Avoid using harsh solvents that may degrade the neoprene.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the neoprene to lose elasticity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent UV damage to the rubber compounds.
- Compatibility: These boots are ideal for use with thick wool or synthetic work socks to enhance moisture management and comfort.
