These Dunlop On Site Steel Toe Cap Boots are designed for individuals, particularly women, who need reliable foot protection in demanding work environments. Their primary advantage lies in comprehensive safety features like a robust steel toe cap and anti-slip sole, combined with a focus on comfort for long wear. A key consideration is that while they offer excellent protection and grip, specific advanced waterproofing beyond oil resistance is not detailed.
Certified Steel Toe Cap: Provides critical protection against impacts up to 200 Joules and compression up to 15,000 Newtons, meeting EN ISO 20345 (SB) safety standards.
Oil Resistant and Anti-Slip Sole: The lightweight rubber outsole features rugged lugs, engineered to maintain superior grip and prevent slips on oily or uneven surfaces.
Comfort-Focused Design: Equipped with a cushioned insole and a padded ankle collar to maximize comfort and reduce fatigue during extended periods of wear.
Shock Absorbing Heels: Integrates technology to absorb impact from walking and standing, further enhancing wearer comfort and reducing strain.
Secure Lace-Up Closure: Allows for a customizable and snug fit, ensuring stability and preventing the foot from moving excessively inside the boot.
Durable Construction: Features a Nubuck Leather upper for longevity and resilience in tough working conditions, paired with a synthetic sole for reliability.

The Dunlop On Site Steel Toe Cap Boots are built for demanding work environments where foot safety is paramount. The steel toe cap, certified to protect against 200 Joules of impact and 15,000 Newtons of compression, means your feet are safeguarded from potential hazards like falling tools or crushing under heavy machinery. For example, if a 20kg object falls from a height of 1 meter, your toes are protected.
On challenging surfaces, the oil-resistant and anti-slip sole with its rugged lugs shines. Whether you're navigating a workshop floor with oil spills or walking across uneven construction sites, these boots provide reliable traction, significantly reducing the risk of slips and falls. This makes them ideal for industrial, manufacturing, logistics, or light construction settings.
Comfort is a key aspect, especially during long shifts. The cushioned insole and padded ankle collar work together to provide support and reduce pressure points, minimizing fatigue. The shock-absorbing heels further contribute by softening the impact of each step, which is crucial for individuals who spend hours on their feet. The lace-up closure allows for a tailored fit, ensuring the boot stays secure and comfortable throughout your workday. While they are robust, their lightweight rubber outsole ensures that protection doesn't come at the cost of excessive weight, allowing for greater mobility.
Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Start from the bottom eyelets and criss-cross upwards, making sure each section is snug. A proper lacing technique prevents excessive foot movement within the boot and supports the ankle. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find what's most comfortable for your foot shape.
Initial Wear: Wear the boots for short periods initially to 'break them in'. This allows the Nubuck leather to soften and conform to your foot, preventing blisters and discomfort during full-day wear. Always wear appropriate work socks.
These boots are suitable for various work environments requiring EN ISO 20345 (SB) safety footwear. This includes:
Warehousing and logistics
Light manufacturing and assembly
Trades such as plumbing, electrical work, or carpentry
General industrial settings
Any environment where toe impact and compression protection, as well as slip resistance, are essential.
Given the 'Ladies' designation and specific sizing (e.g., UK 6), these boots are designed to fit women's feet comfortably.
Cleaning: For Nubuck leather, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner and eraser can be used. Avoid excessive water, as the boots are not explicitly waterproof. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
Sole Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris (stones, metal shards) and clean them to maintain optimal grip. Inspect the sole for signs of wear and tear; significant wear can reduce anti-slip effectiveness.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Conditioning: Use a nubuck protector spray periodically to help repel water and stains, extending the life and appearance of the leather.
