Product Information
Full details
The Caterpillar Inductor Mid Hiker is a durable, professional-grade safety boot designed for workers who require reliable protection without the weight of traditional steel components. Ideal for industrial, construction, and specialized environments, these boots offer advanced waterproof protection and a metal-free design that complies with EN ISO 20345:2022 S7S standards. While they provide excellent comfort and stability for all-day wear, users should note that as leather footwear, they require regular cleaning and conditioning to maintain their waterproof membrane integrity over time.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, they feature a specialized waterproof construction designed to keep your feet dry in various wet conditions.
Does the boot contain any metal?
No, the Inductor Mid Hiker is fully metal-free, utilizing composite materials for the toe cap and midsole.
What does the S7S rating mean?
S7S is a safety standard that confirms the boot has a toe cap, midsole penetration resistance, is antistatic, and is fully waterproof.
Can I use these for electrical work?
Yes, they are ESD and antistatic rated, which helps prevent static buildup, though always check your specific site safety requirements.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away debris, then use a leather conditioner to maintain the material's health.
What is the maximum heat the soles can handle?
The outsoles are rated to withstand heat up to 300 degrees Celsius.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during first use
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them with thicker socks around the house for a few days to soften the material.
Footbed feels less comfortable over time
The removable PU footbed is designed to be replaceable. Purchase standard safety-rated insoles if your current ones have lost their cushioning.
Water resistance seems to be failing
Ensure the leather is clean and apply a professional-grade waterproof spray or wax designed for leather safety footwear.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight composite materials instead of heavy steel
- Superior protection against heat, oil, and liquids
- Excellent for environments requiring ESD compliance
- Waterproof design suitable for diverse weather conditions
- Highly durable leather construction
Cons
- Requires proper maintenance to keep the leather in good condition
- Mid-height design provides less ankle protection than full-length boots
- Leather material requires a break-in period
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box, but we recommend wearing them for short periods initially to allow the leather to conform to your feet. Ensure you select your standard UK sizing for the best fit.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of orthotic inserts if the included PU footbed needs replacement. They are specifically suited for workplaces requiring EN ISO 20345:2022 S7S compliance.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe off heavy dirt and mud after each use using a soft brush.
- Apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the leather from cracking or losing its water-resistant properties.
- Allow boots to air dry naturally; never place them directly against radiators or heaters, as this can degrade the leather and the waterproof membrane.
- Ensure the interior is kept dry to prevent odor buildup and prolong the life of the lining.
