Product Overview
The FT05 Steel Leather Ankle Boot is a substantial piece of protective footwear engineered for those who work in challenging conditions where moisture and low temperatures are persistent factors. Manufactured from premium Buffalo Crazy Horse Leather, these boots provide a rugged, professional appearance combined with high-performance functionality. The integration of dual membranes ensures the wearer remains dry in wet environments while benefitting from cold insulation, making them an excellent choice for year-round reliability.
Key Features
- Dual membrane technology provides a comprehensive waterproof barrier while offering cold insulation to keep feet warm and dry in inclement weather.
- The shock-absorbent heel helps to mitigate the impact of walking on hard industrial surfaces, reducing strain on the lower back and joints.
- A padded collar and tongue provide additional cushioning, ensuring a comfortable fit and preventing discomfort during long shifts.
- The TPU kick plate insert located at the heel allows for the easy removal of boots without causing premature wear to the leather upper.
- Top locking ski hooks allow for a secure and customisable lacing system, providing the necessary ankle stability required on uneven terrain.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a sturdy Buffalo Crazy Horse Leather upper, these boots are built to endure the rigours of a busy workplace. The material is chosen for its natural durability and ability to maintain its integrity under stress. Performance is further enhanced by an EVA and Rubber outsole, which is designed to meet HRO (Heat Resistant Outsole) and SR (Slip Resistance) standards. With an S7 safety rating, these boots offer a high level of protection, including penetration resistance, while the CI (Cold Insulation) rating ensures thermal protection in chilled environments.
Why No Customisation?
As these are high-specification safety boots certified to EN ISO 20345 standards, we do not offer customisation services such as embroidery or printing. Altering the exterior of the boot could potentially compromise the waterproof membranes or weaken the structural integrity of the safety-certified leather. To ensure you receive the full protection and performance guaranteed by the S7 rating, these items are supplied in their original, unadulterated form.
Use Cases
These boots are specifically designed for professionals in the catering and food production sectors, including bakers and butchers, where hygiene, slip resistance, and waterproof qualities are essential. They are equally suitable for maintenance staff and those in the hotel and bar trade who require a substantial, protective boot that can handle both kitchen spills and outdoor transit.

Practical Advice
Given the sturdy nature of Buffalo leather, we recommend a brief breaking-in period. To ensure maximum comfort, pair these boots with a high-quality work sock. When selecting your size, keep in mind that the dual membranes provide inherent insulation, so unless you are working in extreme sub-zero temperatures, standard-weight socks should suffice to maintain a proper fit.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your footwear is vital to ensure it continues to provide the safety and protection you require. Regularly cleaning your boots with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris is essential; allowing grime to settle can cause the leather to dry and crack, which will eventually compromise the waterproof membrane.
Should your boots become wet, always allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing them directly against heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the leather to become brittle and may damage the internal thermal membranes. To prolong the life of the Buffalo Crazy Horse Leather, we recommend the occasional application of a suitable leather conditioner to keep the material supple and water-resistant.
