Dunlop On Site Steel Toe Cap Boots - Black - 11

These boots are certified to EN ISO 20345 (SB), which signifies they meet basic safety requirements including a steel toe cap for impact and compression protection.

While the Nubuck leather upper offers some inherent water resistance, these boots are not explicitly rated as waterproof. For prolonged exposure to wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing treatment designed for Nubuck leather.

The steel toe cap provides protection against impacts up to 200 Joules and compression forces up to 15,000 Newtons, offering substantial protection for your toes.

The product is described as 'true to size.' It is generally recommended to order your standard UK shoe size. For the best fit, try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and wear the type of socks you typically wear for work.

Yes, you can typically replace the factory insoles with aftermarket orthopedic or comfort insoles if desired, as long as the new insoles do not significantly alter the fit or compromise the internal safety space of the boot.

Nubuck is a top-grain leather that has been sanded or buffed on the outer surface to create a slight nap, giving it a soft, velvety feel. It is known for its durability and breathability.

The boots are described as 'lightweight' for safety footwear, meaning they are designed to be less cumbersome than many other safety boots, helping to reduce foot fatigue during long shifts.

Regularly clean the sole to prevent the build-up of dirt, oil, and debris, which can reduce traction. Ensure the rubber lugs are free from obstructions. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the sole material.

New leather safety boots, particularly those with a steel toe, often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you're wearing appropriate, well-fitting work socks to prevent rubbing and blisters. Check that laces are tied correctly to provide support without restricting movement.

Inspect the sole for wear and tear. If the rubber lugs are significantly worn down, the anti-slip properties will be compromised, indicating it might be time for a replacement. Also, ensure the sole is clean; accumulated dirt, oil, or debris can drastically reduce traction. Clean the sole thoroughly with a stiff brush and water.

While the boots feature a mesh lining for breathability, safety boots can still retain heat. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks designed for work boots. Allow the boots to air out completely between uses. If possible, remove insoles to help them dry out overnight. Consider foot powder to absorb moisture.
