Product Overview
The Composite Leather Mid Boot represents a sophisticated approach to heavy-duty foot protection, combining the resilience of traditional leather with modern composite safety technologies. Designed to withstand the most demanding environments, this mid-height boot prioritises both safety and the wearer's physical well-being. Its construction focuses on a comprehensive defensive shell that addresses impact, thermal extremes, and moisture ingress without the cumbersome bulk often associated with high-grade safety footwear.
Key Features
- S7L Composite Construction: Provides a lightweight yet incredibly strong barrier against industrial hazards, ensuring your feet remain protected without the fatigue of heavier steel alternatives.
- Inside Leg Zip Fastener: Allows for quick and easy donning and removal, which is particularly useful after a long shift when manual dexterity might be less than optimal.
- Water-Resistant Leather & Waterproof Membrane: The dual-layer approach ensures that external moisture is repelled while the breathable membrane allows internal moisture to escape, keeping feet dry and comfortable.
- Non-Metallic Metatarsal Protection: Guards the delicate bones of the upper foot from impact and compression, an essential feature for those working with heavy equipment or materials.
- Dual Density PU/Rubber HRO Outsole: Engineered to resist heat and provide superior traction, this outsole ensures stability on varied surfaces and longevity in high-temperature environments.
Design & Performance
This boot is a masterclass in functional design. The upper is crafted from high-quality water-resistant leather, which serves as the first line of defence against the elements. Beneath this layer, a waterproof and breathable membrane works tirelessly to manage the internal microclimate. The addition of a tough scuff cap and dedicated ankle protection zones ensures that high-wear areas are reinforced against the inevitable knocks and scrapes of the building site or industrial facility.
Performance-wise, the sole unit is particularly noteworthy. It features a certified ladder grip and rigid arch reinforcement. This specific design choice provides critical support during digging tasks and ensures a secure footing when climbing, reducing the risk of slips and strain-related injuries. Furthermore, the insulation properties (CI) provide a thermal barrier, making these boots as effective in the depths of winter as they are in proximity to high-heat sources.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-applied logos, on this specific item. As a piece of safety-critical footwear (S7L certified), any modification to the upper leather or the ankle protection zones could potentially compromise the structural integrity and the safety certifications of the boot. To ensure your protection remains at the level intended by the manufacturer, we supply these boots in their original, unadulterated state.
Use Cases
These boots are ideally suited for professionals in civil engineering, groundworks, and heavy construction where digging and ladder work are daily occurrences. They are equally appropriate for those working in environments with extreme temperatures, such as foundries or cold storage facilities, thanks to their dual-density insulated soles.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the type of socks you intend to wear. Given the insulated nature of this boot, a standard mid-weight sock is usually sufficient. We recommend ensuring the inside zip is fully cleared of any debris before use to maintain its smooth operation and ensure the weather seal remains intact.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your safety boots is essential for ensuring they provide the protection you rely on for as long as possible. Regular maintenance also prevents the natural materials from degrading prematurely.
We recommend cleaning mud and debris from the leather and the outsole after every shift. Allowing mud to dry and remain on the leather can strip away natural oils, leading to cracking and the eventual failure of the water-resistant barrier. A damp cloth and a soft brush for the sole are generally sufficient for this task.
Do not force-dry these boots near direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can cause the leather to become brittle and may damage the waterproof membrane and the adhesives used in the sole construction. Instead, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space.
