- Premium EVA Footbed: Designed for all-day wear, the cushioned footbed and padded collar provide supreme comfort for long shifts on your feet.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-quality full-grain leather, these boots are designed to be as resilient as they are comfortable. The leather upper offers natural resistance to water and fuel oil, while the padded collar and tongue prevent chafing and provide additional ankle stability. Underfoot, the PU and rubber outsole is specifically designed to maintain agility on varied terrain. This is a substantial, sturdy boot that provides a stable foundation for any task.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on our safety footwear. Altering the structure of a safety boot, particularly the leather upper, could compromise the material's integrity and invalidate its EN ISO safety certifications. To ensure your personal protective equipment performs exactly as intended in hazardous situations, we provide these boots in their original, laboratory-tested state.
Use Cases
While versatile enough for many trades, these boots are particularly well-suited for professionals in the catering, baking, and butchery industries where slip resistance is vital. They are also ideal for hotel and bar facility management where a smart yet highly functional safety boot is required.

Practical Advice
As these boots feature a full-grain leather upper, they may require a brief period to 'wear in' and reach maximum flexibility. We recommend pairing them with technical work socks to assist with moisture management. If you are between sizes, please note that a slightly more generous fit is often preferred in safety footwear to accommodate natural foot swelling during active shifts.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your leather boots, regular maintenance is essential. We recommend cleaning the leather uppers with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and contaminants. Leaving debris on the leather can lead to premature drying and cracking, which will eventually allow water to penetrate the boot.
Never dry your boots directly against a radiator or intense heat source. Excessive heat can cause the leather to become brittle and may weaken the bond of the sole. Allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Periodic treatment with a suitable leather conditioner will keep the material supple and ensure the wire lace system remains clear of grit and debris.
