FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Magnashield leather and nylon upper offer water resistance, providing protection against light moisture. They are not designed to be fully waterproof for submersion.
What is the certification for these boots?
These boots are certified to EN ISO 20347:2012 OB E FO SRA standards, which cover requirements for occupational footwear, including slip resistance and basic protective properties.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the boots come with a removable contour moulded insole that can be taken out. You can replace it with your own preferred insoles or orthotics for customized comfort.
How do I clean the leather parts?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product instructions. Always allow leather to air dry naturally.
Are these boots suitable for construction sites?
These boots are certified for general occupational use (OB E FO SRA). They do not feature a steel toe cap or puncture-resistant sole, which are typically required for heavy-duty construction environments. Please check specific site safety regulations.
How durable is the side zip?
The YKK circular side-zip is designed for durability and frequent use. Regular cleaning and lubrication will help maintain its smooth operation and longevity.
What is the primary benefit of the Panther 8.0?
The primary benefits are the combination of comfort for long wear, reliable traction, durable construction, and the convenience of a quick side zip for easy on and off.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with the type of socks you typically use for work. The removable insole can be replaced with a thinner or specialized one if needed.
Side zip is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper track is free of debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax to the teeth and gently work the zip up and down until it moves smoothly.
Feet feel damp or sweaty.
The moisture-wicking lining is designed to draw moisture away, but in very high humidity or intense activity, some dampness may occur. Ensure the lining is clean and dry. Consider using moisture-wicking socks.
Outsole grip seems reduced.
Clean the outsole thoroughly with water to remove any embedded dirt, oil, or debris that may be reducing traction. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.
