FAQs
What does SB classification mean?
SB classification indicates that the safety footwear meets the basic safety requirements as defined by EN ISO 20345:2011, including a minimum 200 Joules toe protection.
Are these boots suitable for electrical hazards?
The SB classification does not specifically address electrical hazard protection. For electrical hazard resistance, look for footwear with appropriate ratings like 'EH' or 'ES'.
Can these boots be resoled?
Yes, due to the Goodyear welt construction, these boots are designed to be resoled, which can extend their lifespan and reduce long-term costs.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer or retailer. Generally, UK sizing for men's footwear follows a standard scale. Ensure a snug fit around the heel and ball of the foot, with enough room in the toe box.
Are the boots waterproof?
The boots offer resistance to water ingress due to their leather construction and Goodyear welt. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged submersion may lead to water penetration.
What is the temperature limit for the heat resistance?
The sole is designed to withstand contact with hot surfaces up to 300°C.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are regularly exposed to harsh conditions or elements that could dry out the leather.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period of several days, wearing them for short durations initially and gradually increasing wear time. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to provide support without being too tight.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. Ensure the boots are stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Sole is losing grip
Clean the sole thoroughly with water and a stiff brush to remove dirt, oil, or other residues that might be causing slippage. Check for any visible damage to the tread pattern.
Water seeping through seams
While the Goodyear welt offers some water resistance, prolonged submersion may lead to seepage. Ensure all areas, including the tongue, are clean and dry. Consider a waterproofing treatment specifically for leather boots if constant exposure to wet conditions is expected.

Care Instructions:
