FAQs
What safety standards do these boots meet?
These Skechers Workshire boots meet the EN ISO 20345:2011 safety standards for protective footwear, specifically regarding their steel toe, anti-static, and slip-resistant properties.
Are these boots waterproof?
The product description does not explicitly state that these boots are waterproof. However, as they feature a leather upper, they can be treated with appropriate waterproofing sprays or waxes designed for leather to enhance their water resistance.
What is 'Relaxed Fit'?
'Relaxed Fit' means the boots are designed to provide a roomier, more comfortable fit in the toe box and forefoot area compared to traditional athletic footwear, without compromising overall fit or support.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Clean the leather by wiping off dirt with a damp cloth, then using a dedicated leather cleaner. Follow with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Regular polishing can also help maintain the appearance and offer minor protection.
What type of work are these boots suitable for?
These boots are ideal for various industrial and occupational settings that require robust foot protection. This includes construction, warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, and other environments where steel toe, anti-static, and slip-resistant footwear is mandated or recommended.
Can I replace the Memory Foam insole?
While the boot features an integrated Memory Foam insole for comfort, generally, it is not designed to be easily removable for replacement. For specific inquiries about modifying your footwear, it's best to consult with a shoe care professional.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new full grain leather boots. Allow a break-in period by wearing them for shorter durations at first, gradually increasing wear time. Using thick, moisture-wicking socks can also help.
Reduced slip resistance or traction.
Check the outsole for embedded debris (mud, gravel) and clean thoroughly with a stiff brush. Ensure the treads are not excessively worn. If wear is significant, consider replacement for safety.
Foot odor or moisture buildup.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Air out the boots thoroughly after each use. You can also use foot powders or odor-absorbing inserts to help manage moisture and smell.
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are using a double knot or a more secure lacing technique. Check laces for wear; frayed laces may not hold knots well and should be replaced.

Compatibility
These boots are primarily designed for adult males in occupations requiring safety footwear.

Ensure your specific workplace safety regulations align with the EN ISO 20345:2011 standards met by these boots.
Care
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe off dirt and dust with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner. Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Polish with a black shoe polish to maintain the finish and help repel water.
- Outsole Maintenance: Regularly inspect the oil resistant traction rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the treads with a stiff brush to maintain optimal grip.
- Insole Care: If insoles are removable, take them out periodically to air dry, which helps prevent odor and moisture buildup. If not removable, ensure boots are aired out after use.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat to prevent material degradation.
