Product Overview
The Composite Nubuck Leather Mid Boot is a robust solution for professionals requiring high-level protection without the excessive weight often associated with traditional safety footwear. Constructed with a premium nubuck leather upper, this mid-height boot provides a secure fit and essential ankle support, which is particularly beneficial when navigating uneven surfaces or moving between different work environments. Its design balances a professional appearance with industrial-grade resilience, making it suitable for both front-of-house coordination and back-of-house operations.
Key Features
- Heat Resistant Outsole: Designed to withstand high temperatures, protecting the wearer from thermal hazards on hot flooring or near industrial equipment.
- Nubuck Leather Upper: This material offers a sophisticated finish while providing natural breathability and durability for long-term wear.
- Slip Resistant Tread: The engineered pattern ensures superior traction, significantly reducing the risk of accidents on slippery or oil-contaminated surfaces.
- Quick Release Side Zip: Allows for rapid access and removal, a convenient feature for busy professionals who need to transition quickly between tasks.
- Fuel and Oil Resistance: The outsole is specifically formulated to resist degradation when in contact with hydrocarbons, ensuring the boot's longevity in automotive or industrial settings.
Design & Performance
This is a substantial, sturdy boot engineered for performance in demanding conditions. The combination of a PU and rubber outsole provides a cushioned yet hard-wearing base that absorbs impact during long shifts. The mid-height silhouette is intentional, offering a compromise between the freedom of a shoe and the comprehensive protection of a high-leg boot. By utilizing composite materials rather than heavy steel, the boot remains agile, helping to reduce foot fatigue during extended periods of standing or walking.
The internal architecture is designed to support the natural gait, while the water-resistant properties of the leather ensure that your feet remain dry when exposed to light moisture or spills. Every element, from the reinforced scuff cap to the ladder grip, has been integrated to enhance the user's safety and confidence on the job.
Why No Customisation?
As this is a piece of certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation such as embroidery or heat-seal printing. Altering the boot with high-heat applications or puncturing the leather with needles could compromise the structural integrity and the safety certifications (such as the S3S and HRO standards). To ensure your safety remains uncompromised, we provide these boots in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
These boots are highly versatile but are particularly well-suited for professionals in the catering and hospitality sectors, including chefs, butchers, and bakers who require slip resistance and heat protection. They are also an excellent choice for facility managers and tradespeople who move between construction environments and client-facing areas where a tidy, black leather aesthetic is preferred.

Practical Advice
We recommend pairing these boots with a dedicated work sock to manage moisture and provide additional cushioning. When choosing your size, consider that nubuck leather will slightly soften and mould to your foot over time. If you are frequently between sizes, the mid-boot design with its zip and lace combination allows for a fair degree of adjustment to achieve a secure fit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety characteristics of your boots, they should be cleaned regularly. Use a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and debris after each shift. Allowing grime to build up can lead to the premature drying and cracking of the leather, which would compromise the boot's water resistance.
Never machine wash or bleach these boots. Subjecting them to a domestic wash cycle or harsh chemicals will destroy the leather’s natural oils and may degrade the adhesives used in the outsole construction. If the boots become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the leather to become brittle.
We suggest using a nubuck-specific conditioner or protector spray periodically. This helps to maintain the leather's suppleness and ensures the water-resistant barrier remains effective, extending the life of your investment and keeping your feet protected for longer.
