Apache Ranger Boots - Black - UK 10

Yes, the boots feature a waterproof leather upper designed to protect your feet from moisture. However, like all waterproof materials, prolonged submersion or damage can affect their performance.

The primary safety features are the steel toe cap and steel mid-sole, which protect against impact, crushing, and penetration from sharp objects.

Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and periodic conditioning with a leather-specific product will help maintain the leather's condition and its water-repellent properties.

While the boots offer some breathability, they are designed with robust safety features which may make them warmer than lighter footwear. For extremely hot conditions, ensure adequate ventilation and consider foot comfort.

Anti-static footwear is designed to reduce the build-up of electrostatic charges in the body. This is important in environments where sparks could ignite flammable vapors or dust.

Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent mold or degradation.

The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) elements provide extra durability and protection against abrasion and impact, particularly at the heel and toe areas which are prone to wear and damage.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider wearing thicker socks if needed, and allow for a break-in period of a few wears to let the leather mold to your feet. Adjust lacing for a custom fit.

Inspect the boots for any visible damage to the leather or seams. Ensure laces are fully tied and the tongue is properly positioned. If the waterproofing has diminished, consider applying a waterproofing treatment suitable for leather.

Clean the sole of the boots thoroughly to remove any dirt, oil, or debris that may be trapped in the tread pattern. If the sole shows significant wear, it may be time to consider replacement.

Ensure the anti-static properties are functioning. Clean the interior and exterior of the boot, as dirt and some materials can interfere with anti-static capabilities. If the issue persists, consult the manufacturer.
