FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The full grain leather upper offers some natural water resistance, but these boots are not specifically advertised as waterproof. For optimal protection in wet conditions, we recommend applying a waterproof treatment designed for leather work boots.
What does the EN ISO 20345:2011 SB SRA rating mean?
This rating signifies that the boots meet European safety standards. 'EN ISO 20345:2011' is the standard for safety footwear. 'SB' means the boots have basic safety features including a 200 joule impact resistant toe cap. 'SRA' indicates slip resistance on ceramic tile wetted with a dilute soap solution.
Can I remove the Memory Foam insole and use my own custom orthotics?
Yes, the Memory Foam cushioned removable comfort insole is designed to be removable. This allows you to insert your own custom orthotics or specialized insoles if preferred, ensuring personalized comfort and support.
How should I clean the oil-resistant outsole?
To maintain optimal traction, regularly clean the Nitrile rubber oil resistant outsole with a stiff brush and warm, soapy water to remove any embedded dirt, oil, or debris. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
What is 'Relaxed Fit'?
The 'Relaxed Fit' design provides a roomier fit, especially in the toe box area. This is intended to give your toes more space to spread out, enhancing comfort and reducing pressure, which is beneficial during long hours on your feet.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency of conditioning depends on how often you wear the boots and the conditions they are exposed to. For regular use in demanding environments, conditioning every 1-2 months is a good practice. If the leather appears dry or stiff, it's time to condition.
Troubleshooting
My boots feel uncomfortable or too tight after wearing them for a while.
Ensure you have the correct size. The Relaxed Fit provides extra toe room, but initial wear can still feel snug. Allow for a short break-in period. Also, check your sock thickness; very thick socks can reduce the perceived room. If discomfort persists, ensure laces are not overtightened and consider if the removable insole is properly seated.
I'm experiencing less traction than expected on certain surfaces.
The Nitrile rubber lug traction oil resistant flexible outsole is designed for superior grip, but excessive oil or other substances can still reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of embedded debris. Regularly inspect the sole for wear and tear; a worn outsole will have reduced grip. Always exercise caution on extremely slippery surfaces.
The leather upper appears dry or cracked.
This is often a sign of insufficient conditioning. Refer to the care instructions: regularly clean and treat the full grain leather upper with a good proprietary leather conditioning product. Avoid using caustic cleaning agents and ensure boots are dried naturally away from direct heat.
My feet are still getting tired after long hours.
While these boots feature Memory Foam and a shock absorbing supportive lightweight midsole, extreme conditions or very long shifts can still cause fatigue. Ensure your socks provide adequate cushioning and support. Check that the insoles are properly positioned. If fatigue is persistent, consider rotating between two pairs of boots to allow them to fully air out and recover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon receiving your Skechers Workshire Safety Boots, ensure you try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for work. Lace them up securely using the durable metal eyelets, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit around your ankle. The padded collar and tongue should sit comfortably without causing pressure points. Walk around to assess the Relaxed Fit and Memory Foam cushioning, allowing your feet to settle into the boots.
Compatibility
These boots are suitable for a wide range of industrial and occupational settings that require EN ISO 20345:2011 SB SRA certified safety footwear. This includes, but is not limited to, construction, warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, and maintenance roles where there's a risk of falling objects, compression hazards, or slippery surfaces. The oil-resistant traction outsole makes them particularly compatible with environments where oil or grease may be present.
Care Instructions
To optimize the protective features and extend the life of your Skechers Workshire Safety Boots, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: It is important that the footwear be regularly cleaned to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the full grain leather upper.
- Treatment: Treat the leather with a good proprietary cleaning and conditioning product designed for leather footwear. This helps maintain the leather's suppleness and water resistance.
- Avoid Caustic Agents: Do not use any harsh or caustic cleaning agents, as these can damage the leather and other materials.
- Drying: Allow your boots to dry naturally in a cool, dry area, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight). Rapid drying can crack or damage the leather.
- Insole Care: The Memory Foam cushioned removable comfort insole can be removed and aired out periodically to maintain freshness. If soiled, gently hand wash with mild soap and water, and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
