FAQs
Are these boots suitable for heavy-duty construction work?
Yes, the Apache Ranger Boots meet EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 WR SRA standards, which include protection against impact, penetration, water, and offer slip resistance, making them suitable for many heavy-duty work environments.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and use a stiff brush to remove dried mud. For best results, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner periodically.
What does S3 WR SRA safety classification mean?
S3 means the boots have a protective toe cap, midsole protection, are antistatic, and have energy absorption in the heel. WR means they are water-resistant, and SRA indicates a high level of slip resistance on ceramic tile surfaces.
Are these boots heavy?
With a weight of approximately 2.45 KG, they offer substantial protection but may feel heavier than standard footwear. This is typical for safety boots with steel components.
Can I wear these boots in wet weather?
Yes, the boots feature a waterproof leather upper and are classified as WR (Water Resistant), designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of rubber and is resistant to oil and petrol.
How should I care for the boots to ensure longevity?
Clean them regularly, dry them naturally away from heat, and condition the leather periodically. Inspect for wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker or thinner socks depending on the fit.
Water seeping through the boots
Check for any damage to the leather upper or sole. Ensure the tongue is properly seated and laces are tied securely. Reapply a leather waterproofing treatment if the original protection has worn off.
Slipping on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. The oil and petrol resistance of the sole is designed for specific industrial fluids; performance on extremely smooth or wet surfaces may vary. Avoid using the boots in conditions exceeding their SRA rating.
Steel toe cap feels cold in winter
The steel toe cap can conduct cold. Wear warm, insulated socks specifically designed for cold weather to mitigate this effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Apache Ranger Boots come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for a secure and comfortable fit before commencing work. A snug fit is crucial for stability and to maximize the effectiveness of the safety features.
Compatibility: These boots are designed for general safety and work use. They comply with EN ISO 20345:2011 S3 WR SRA standards, making them suitable for most industrial, construction, and workshop environments. They are unisex and available in various UK adult sizes.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a stiff brush. For tougher dirt or stains, wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Drying: If the boots become wet, allow them to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires, which can damage the leather. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the boots for signs of wear, such as damage to the sole, stitching, or upper. Condition the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and water resistance.
