Product Overview
The Composite Leather Traction Boot is a substantial 10-inch safety boot engineered for professionals who demand the highest levels of protection and stability. Developed to withstand the rigours of the most challenging work environments, this boot combines high-grade S7L water-resistant leather with a technical waterproof and breathable membrane. Despite its height and comprehensive safety features, the construction remains focused on reducing fatigue, offering a lightweight alternative to traditional heavy-duty boots without sacrificing structural integrity.
Key Features
- S7L Water Resistant Leather: The premium leather upper provides a robust barrier against moisture, ensuring your feet remain dry during prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
- Waterproof & Breathable Membrane: This internal layer allows perspiration to escape while preventing external water ingress, maintaining a comfortable internal climate throughout the working day.
- PU/Rubber Outsole: This specialised sole is designed for superior slip resistance and stability, particularly in demanding environments where oil or uneven surfaces are a factor.
- Side Fastening Zip: An integrated zip allows for efficient donning and removal, while the 10-inch height ensures the ankle is fully supported during strenuous physical activity.
- Comprehensive Safety Specs: Featuring ESD protection, heat-resistant outsoles (HRO), and cold insulation (CI), this boot is equipped to handle extreme thermal and electrical requirements.
Design & Performance
The design philosophy behind the FD01 focuses on the intersection of protection and mobility. The use of composite materials rather than heavy metals helps to keep the boot feeling nimble on the foot, which is essential for those covering long distances on site. The PU/Rubber outsole is specifically tuned for traction, providing a confident grip that exceeds standard safety requirements. Inside, the foot is cushioned to manage the impact of hard surfaces, while the breathable membrane prevents the build-up of moisture that often leads to discomfort in high-activity roles.
Why No Customisation?
As this is a high-specification safety boot, we do not offer customisation such as embroidery or heat-applied logos. Altering the exterior of the boot would risk puncturing the waterproof membrane and compromising the S7L leather's integrity. To ensure this footwear meets the stringent safety standards for which it was certified, it must be used in its original, unmodified state.
Use Cases
While designed for the harshest industrial conditions, these boots are also highly effective for specialist trades such as butchers, bakers, and those in large-scale catering environments where floor surfaces can be treacherous. They are equally suited for outdoor construction or engineering roles where heat resistance and cold insulation are required alongside comprehensive ankle support.

Practical Advice
When first wearing these 10-inch boots, we recommend using the side zip to find your ideal fit, ensuring the laces are properly adjusted during the initial wear to provide maximum ankle stability. These boots pair best with professional-grade work socks to enhance the moisture-wicking properties of the internal membrane.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your safety boots, it is essential to keep them clean. After use in muddy or chemical-heavy environments, wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove debris. Failure to do so can cause the leather to dry out and crack prematurely, compromising the water-resistant properties.
Always allow your boots to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Never place them directly against a radiator or heat source, as excessive heat can cause the leather to become brittle and may damage the adhesives used in the sole construction.
Regular application of a suitable leather conditioner or water-proofing treatment will help maintain the S7L leather's supple feel and ensure the waterproof barrier remains effective for the life of the boot.
