FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
While the boots offer waterproof protection, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, consider wearing thermal socks.
Can the composite toe cap be removed?
No, the composite toe cap is integrated into the boot's structure for safety and cannot be removed.
How do I check if the boots are the right size?
Ensure there is enough room to wiggle your toes. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for work.
What is the 'performance ladder grip' feature?
This is a specific design element on the outsole that enhances grip when climbing or descending ladders, helping to prevent slippage.
How often should I condition the leather?
It's recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are regularly exposed to wet conditions or harsh elements.
Are these boots suitable for use in electrical hazard (EH) environments?
The boots are listed as antistatic, which helps to dissipate static electricity. However, they are not specifically rated for electrical hazard protection, which requires a different certification.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing thicker or different socks. The removable footbed can be replaced with an aftermarket insole if needed. Allow a break-in period for the boots to conform to your feet.
Water seeping into the boots.
Inspect the boots for any damage to the leather or the waterproof membrane. Ensure laces are properly tied and that the tongue is correctly positioned. If damage is found, cease use and consider replacement.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded mud, oil, or debris. The cleated design performs best when free from obstructions. If wear is significant, the outsole may need replacement.
Leather upper appears dry or cracked.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner regularly, especially after cleaning or exposure to harsh conditions. This will help restore moisture and prevent cracking.

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a brush. Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to the full-grain leather upper to maintain its suppleness and water resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Waterproof Membrane: Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the internal waterproof membrane.
