Product Information

Full details

The Skechers Workshire Safety Boots are designed for adult male workers who require robust foot protection without sacrificing comfort. Their key win is combining a steel safety toe and electrical hazard protection with a comfortable Skechers Relaxed Fit and Memory Foam footbed. A potential caveat is that while comfortable for safety boots, their sturdy construction means they might be heavier and less flexible than non-safety footwear.

FAQs

Are these boots waterproof?

The product description specifies a full-grain leather upper, which offers some natural water resistance, but it does not state that the boots are waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, you may consider applying a waterproof spray or wax designed for leather work boots.

What type of safety toe do these boots have?

These boots feature a steel safety toe, which meets ASTM F2413-2011 I/75 C/75 standards for impact and compression protection.

Can I remove the Memory Foam footbed?

Yes, the Memory Foam footbed is removable. This allows for easier cleaning, airing out, or replacement with custom orthotics if preferred.

Are these boots suitable for electrical work?

Yes, these boots have an Electrical Hazard (EH) safe design, tested to ASTM F2413-05, providing secondary protection against accidental contact with live electrical circuits.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

The Skechers Relaxed Fit design offers a roomier toe and forefoot. It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for work. Ensure your toes have room to move and your heel doesn't slip excessively.

How often should I condition the leather?

Conditioning frequency depends on usage and environment. For regular use in dry conditions, conditioning every 3-6 months is usually sufficient. In very wet or harsh conditions, you might need to condition them more frequently, perhaps monthly, to keep the leather supple.

What do the ASTM ratings mean?

ASTM F2413-2011 I/75 C/75 indicates that the boots provide protection against impacts of 75 foot-pounds and compression loads of 2,500 pounds. ASTM F2413-05 EH means the footwear is designed to provide a secondary source of protection on substantially dry surfaces from hazards of accidental contact with live electrical circuits, open circuits, or energized electrical conductors.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.

New leather boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The Memory Foam footbed will also conform to your foot over time. Ensure proper lacing for a secure, yet not overly tight, fit.

Loss of traction on certain surfaces.

While the Nitrile rubber lug outsole offers excellent traction, extreme conditions (e.g., oil spills, ice) can still present hazards. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. If traction continues to be an issue on specific surfaces, assess the environment and consider additional slip-resistant measures.

Foot odor or dampness inside the boot.

Remove the Memory Foam footbed regularly to air it out. Ensure socks are clean and made from moisture-wicking materials. If the boots get wet, allow them to fully air dry. Consider using foot powder or odor-absorbing inserts if the problem persists.

Setup1. Lacing: Unlace the boots sufficiently to allow your foot to slide in comfortably.2. Insert Foot: Place your foot firmly into the boot, ensuring your heel is seated correctly against the back.3. Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom, pull the laces snugly but not too tightly through each eyelet, working your way up. Ensure even tension across the foot.4. Tie Securely: Tie a double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during work, which can be a tripping hazard.### CompatibilityThese boots are compatible with a wide range of industrial and construction work environments requiring steel toe protection and Electrical Hazard (EH) safety. They are suitable for roles in:- Construction- Warehousing and Logistics- Manufacturing and Industrial settings- Electrical trades- Any profession requiring robust foot protection and slip resistance.### Care- Cleaning: Wipe down the full-grain leather upper regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn grime, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for work boots.- Drying: If boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the leather.- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.- Footbed: The Memory Foam footbed is removable. You can remove it to air it out or clean it separately if needed. Hand wash the footbed with mild soap and water and allow it to air dry completely.- Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and tear, and check the laces for fraying. Replace laces as needed. Ensure the steel toe area remains free from significant dents or damage that could compromise its protective integrity.
