FAQs
Are these boots suitable for everyday casual wear?
While built for comfort and durability, the Striver Mid S3 boots are primarily designed as safety footwear for work environments. Their robust features may make them less ideal for casual, non-work settings.
What does 'S3' safety rating mean?
An S3 rating indicates that the boots have a steel toe cap, a steel midsole for puncture protection, are water-resistant, and have antistatic properties.
How do I maintain the water resistance of the leather?
Regular cleaning and conditioning with a suitable leather product will help maintain the water-resistant properties of the full-grain leather uppers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles can typically be removed and replaced with aftermarket insoles if desired for additional comfort or support.
What is the weight of the boots?
As safety boots with steel components, they are heavier than standard footwear. Specific weight varies by size, but expect a substantial feel due to the protective features.
Are the soles slip-resistant?
The dual-density polyurethane outsole is designed for good traction and is fuel & oil resistant, offering enhanced slip resistance on many work surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks or an insole for added comfort.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking
Apply a quality leather conditioner and allow it to soak in. Repeat as needed.
Traction is reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Water seeps through the material
Ensure the leather is properly conditioned. If the boots are heavily worn, re-waterproofing treatments may be necessary, though these boots are designed to be water-resistant, not fully waterproof.
