FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

The product description does not explicitly state these boots are waterproof. They are designed with a durable leather upper which provides some water resistance, but they may not be fully waterproof. For specific waterproof needs, look for products explicitly labeled as such.

What does 'Relaxed Fit®' mean for these boots?

Relaxed Fit® in Skechers footwear means the boots are designed with a roomier, more comfortable fit, particularly in the toe box and forefoot area. This allows for natural toe splay and reduces pressure, enhancing comfort during long periods of wear.

What type of work environments are these boots suitable for?

These boots are ideal for work environments requiring EN ISO 20345:2011 certified safety footwear. This includes construction sites, manufacturing plants, warehouses, workshops, and other industrial settings where protection from impacts, compression, slips, and static electricity is necessary.

How should I clean the leather on my Workshire boots?

For best results, wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Do these boots come in other sizes or colors?

Yes, the Skechers Workshire Safety Boots are available in various sizes and also come in Black, in addition to this Brown variant. Please check availability with your retailer.

What does the EN ISO 20345:2011 safety standard mean?

EN ISO 20345:2011 is a European standard that specifies basic and additional requirements for safety footwear. It ensures that the footwear offers protection against hazards like falling objects (steel toe), crushing, and various other workplace risks, including slip resistance and anti-static properties, as found in these boots.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially

Safety boots, especially with a steel toe, can be stiff at first. Wear them for short periods (1-2 hours) for the first few days to allow them to break in. The leather will soften, and the Memory Foam™ will conform to your foot.

Feet feel fatigued or sore after long hours

Ensure your laces are tied correctly – snug but not overly tight – to provide proper support. Consider investing in high-quality moisture-wicking socks. While the Memory Foam™ provides excellent cushioning, proper lacing and appropriate socks are key for maximum comfort.

Soles seem less slip-resistant than expected

Inspect the soles for any embedded dirt, debris, or oil that might be reducing traction. Clean the soles thoroughly with warm soapy water and a brush. Ensure the work surface is also kept as clean as possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions### Setup1. Unboxing: Remove boots from packaging and inspect for any damage.2. Lacing: Loosen the laces completely. Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back. Pull the laces taut, working from the bottom upwards, to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Double-knot for added security.3. Initial Wear: Wear your new boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.### CompatibilityThese boots meet the EN ISO 20345:2011 safety standard, making them suitable for workplaces requiring protective footwear with a metal toe cap, anti-static properties, and slip resistance. Always check your workplace's specific safety requirements to ensure full compliance.### Care1. Cleaning the Leather: Regularly wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.2. Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.3. Sole Maintenance: Inspect the rubber/synthetic sole regularly for embedded debris and clean as needed to maintain slip resistance.4. Drying: If boots become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Do not force dry with heat, as this can damage the leather.5. Inspection: Periodically check the steel toe, stitching, and sole for any signs of wear or damage that could compromise safety.
