Dunlop On Site Boots - Black - UK 3

EN ISO 20345 is an international standard for safety footwear. The 'SB' classification stands for 'Safety Basic,' meaning the boots meet fundamental requirements including toe protection against 200 Joules of impact and 15,000 Newtons of compression.

The product description does not explicitly state that these boots are waterproof. While the nubuck leather upper offers some natural resistance to moisture, they are not designed to be fully waterproof. For wet environments, additional waterproofing sprays or treatments for nubuck leather would be recommended.

To clean the nubuck leather, first, use a dry, soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized nubuck or suede cleaner and apply it according to the product's instructions. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Yes, the cushioned insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with orthotic inserts or new insoles for personalized comfort or hygiene, as long as the replacement does not compromise the fit or safety features of the boot.

The lifespan of safety boots varies greatly depending on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as care and maintenance. With proper care, they can last for a year or more. Regular inspection for wear and tear, especially on the sole and toe cap, is crucial to ensure continued protection.

The sole is designed with rugged lugs and is certified as anti-slip and oil-resistant according to EN ISO 20345 standards, providing excellent traction on many challenging surfaces. However, no sole is 100% slip-proof on every single surface condition, so always exercise caution in hazardous environments.

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Re-check your lacing for even tension. Allow for a break-in period of a few days of light wear for the materials to soften and conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width.

Inspect the outsole treads for embedded dirt, mud, or debris and clean thoroughly with a stiff brush. Check for excessive wear on the sole, especially the lugs. If the treads are significantly worn, the anti-slip properties may be compromised, and replacement boots should be considered.

For light scuffs, use a nubuck brush to gently buff the area. For deeper marks or stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner according to its instructions. Regular cleaning and application of a suitable nubuck protector can help minimize future marks.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the sole or the insole. Try removing the insole and walking in the boots to see if the noise stops. If it does, a light application of talcum powder under the insole can help. If the squeaking comes from the sole, ensure it is clean and dry. In rare cases, stitching or material friction can cause noise, which often reduces with wear.
