FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Magnashield leather and nylon upper offer water resistance, meaning they can repel light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged immersion in water is not recommended. Regular care helps maintain their water-resistant properties.
What does EN ISO 20347:2012 OB E FO SRA certification mean?
This European standard certifies the boots for occupational use. OB indicates basic safety requirements, E refers to energy absorption in the heel, FO signifies resistance to fuel oil, and SRA means the footwear has slip resistance on ceramic surfaces with lauryl sulphate.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insole is removable and designed to accommodate custom orthotics or other preferred insoles for personalized comfort and support.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. It is also recommended to try the boots on if possible, as fit can vary between brands and even models. Ensure there is adequate room in the toe box without excessive looseness.
Are these boots suitable for construction sites?
These boots are certified for general occupational use and offer good slip resistance. However, they do not feature a steel toe cap or other specific safety features typically required for heavy-duty construction sites. Always check the specific safety requirements for your work environment.
How often should I clean the boots?
It's recommended to wipe down the boots after each use to remove dirt. A more thorough cleaning and conditioning of the leather should be done periodically, depending on the frequency and conditions of use.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try adjusting the laces or consider using a different thickness of sock. The removable insole can be replaced with a custom orthotic or a different thickness insole for personalized comfort.
Side zip is difficult to operate
Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zip up and down. A small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or a specific zipper lubricant can help smooth operation.
Feet feel damp or sweaty
This can occur in very warm conditions. Ensure the moisture-wicking lining is functioning correctly. Remove and dry the insole. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the tread is significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacing the boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots require no assembly. Simply try them on for fit and adjust the lacing if necessary. Ensure the side zip is fully functional before regular use.
Compatibility: The Panther 8.0 boots are designed for general occupational use and are certified to EN ISO 20347:2012 OB E FO SRA standards. They are suitable for a wide range of work environments but are not designed as safety boots with toe protection unless specified by a different model.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather and nylon upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather components with a suitable leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
- Insole Care: Remove the insole regularly to clean and air out. Hand wash if necessary and allow to dry completely before reinserting.
