Product Overview
The FC22 Composite Textile Suede Mid Boot is a professionally engineered solution for individuals requiring robust ankle support and comprehensive protection without the bulk of traditional steel components. Certified to EN ISO 20345:2022 S3L standards, this mid-height boot provides a secure fit and enhanced stability for the wearer. The upper is constructed from a strategic combination of cow suede leather and breathable mesh, balancing durability with essential ventilation for long shifts in active environments. With a focus on safety and comfort, this boot is a substantial yet sophisticated addition to any professional workwear kit.
Key Features
- Composite Toecap: Provides high-level impact protection for the toes while remaining significantly lighter than steel, reducing wearer fatigue during extended periods of use.
- Composite Midsole Plate: Offers essential puncture resistance underfoot, protecting against sharp objects without compromising the flexibility of the boot.
- Heat Resistant Outsole (HRO): The PU/Rubber outsole is designed to withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for environments where floor surfaces may reach significant heat levels.
- Slip Resistant (SR): Engineered to provide superior traction on various surfaces, reducing the risk of slips and falls in challenging workplace conditions.
- Fuel and Oil Resistant (FO): The outsole material is specifically treated to resist degradation when in contact with fuels and oils, ensuring the longevity of the footwear.
- Padded Collar: Delivers exceptional comfort and cushioning around the ankle, preventing chafing and improving the overall fit.
Design & Performance
The design of the FC22 boot prioritises both physical protection and thermal regulation. By utilising cow suede, the boot offers a high degree of abrasion resistance, while the integrated mesh panels allow for better airflow than a solid leather alternative. Underneath, the dual-density PU/Rubber outsole provides a sturdy foundation that absorbs shock and provides excellent grip. Because it uses composite materials for the safety elements rather than metal, the boot is non-metallic and considerably more comfortable for those who are on their feet all day, offering a balanced weight that does not feel cumbersome.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take your safety seriously. This footwear is a certified piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that meets specific EN ISO standards. Applying customisation such as embroidery would require puncturing the protective upper, which could compromise the boot's structural integrity, water resistance, and safety certifications. To ensure you remain fully protected and compliant with health and safety regulations, we supply these boots in their original, tested condition.
Use Cases
Given its specific safety ratings and heat-resistant properties, this boot is highly recommended for professionals in the catering and kitchen industries, as well as for bakers and butchers. It is equally suited for those working in hotel, bar, and restaurant environments where slip resistance and toe protection are paramount. The mid-boot design makes it a versatile choice for general trade applications where ankle support is preferred over a standard low-cut shoe.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please consider that safety boots are often worn with thicker, technical work socks. We recommend trying the boots on with your intended work socks to ensure a proper fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely to make full use of the padded collar and ankle support features, which help prevent strain during physical tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety characteristics of your boots, it is essential to keep them clean and well-maintained. We recommend regularly removing surface dirt with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Allowing dirt to build up on the suede and mesh can lead to premature wear and may reduce the breathability of the fabric.
Always allow your boots to dry naturally at room temperature. You should never place them near a direct heat source, such as a radiator, as this can cause the cow suede leather to become brittle and crack, and may damage the adhesive bonds in the outsole construction.
While these boots are resistant to fuels and oils, any chemical spills should be wiped away promptly to prevent long-term degradation of the outsole material. Maintaining the integrity of the sole is vital for ensuring the slip-resistant properties remain effective throughout the life of the product.
