FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The product description does not specify that these boots are waterproof. While the leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, they are not designed for prolonged exposure to wet conditions without additional waterproofing treatment.
What is the Relaxed Fit® feature?
Relaxed Fit® means the boots are designed with a roomier fit, especially in the toe box area. This provides a more comfortable feel and allows for natural toe movement, which is beneficial during long hours of wear.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and condition the leather afterward.
What type of work environments are these boots suitable for?
These boots are ideal for work environments requiring steel toe protection, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and other industrial settings where impact or compression hazards to the foot are present.
Can I replace the insole?
The boots feature a Skechers Memory Foam™ insole for integrated comfort. While you can typically add orthotic inserts on top of or in place of the existing insole, ensure any replacement does not compromise the fit or safety features, especially the steel toe protection clearance.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and exposure to harsh elements. As a general guideline, condition the leather every few months. If the boots are frequently exposed to moisture, dirt, or extreme temperatures, conditioning more often (e.g., monthly) is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal for new leather work boots. Allow a break-in period by wearing them for shorter durations at first. Consider wearing thicker, cushioned socks to aid comfort during this phase.
My feet feel hot and sweaty during wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. The textile lining provides breathability, but proper sock choice is crucial. Allow boots to air out thoroughly between uses.
The leather appears dry or is starting to crack.
The leather needs conditioning. Clean the boots and apply a quality leather conditioner or treatment. Regular conditioning is key to maintaining the leather's flexibility and preventing damage.
Experiencing reduced grip or slipping.
Check the rubber sole for embedded dirt, debris, or excessive wear. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the tread is significantly worn, the traction will be compromised, and replacement may be necessary for safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Unlace the boots, slide your foot in, and ensure your heel is comfortably seated.
- Adjust Fit: Lace up the boots, starting from the bottom eyelets, pulling snugly but not too tightly. Tie securely. A proper lace-up ensures foot stability and support.
- Break-in Period: Wear the boots for shorter periods initially (e.g., 2-3 hours) to allow the leather and insole to mold to your feet. This prevents discomfort during longer wear.
Compatibility
- Size: This specific variant is UK 9.5 (adult male sizing). Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and safety. Refer to the Skechers sizing chart for precise measurements. Other sizes and colors are available in the Workshire series.
- Intended Use: Designed for adult males requiring protective footwear in industrial or demanding work environments.
Product Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning the Leather: Regularly wipe down the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn grime, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Conditioning: To prevent the leather from drying out and cracking, apply a quality leather conditioner every few months, or more frequently if exposed to harsh conditions. This keeps the leather supple and extends its life.
- 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 damage and crack the leather.
- Sole Care: Inspect the rubber sole periodically for wear and tear. Clean the treads to remove embedded dirt or debris, which can impact traction. Do not use oil-based cleaners on the sole, as it may degrade the rubber.
