Product Overview
The Steel Leather Hiker Boot S3 SRC is a robust solution for those requiring high-level protection without sacrificing the support of a traditional hiker profile. Part of our comprehensive Foot Protection range, the FW69 Mustang boot is engineered to meet the rigorous S3 safety standard, providing a reliable barrier against common site hazards. Built with a substantial leather upper and a specialized support system, it offers a secure fit for professionals who spend long hours on their feet in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Full S3 Protection: This certification ensures you benefit from a protective toecap, water-resistant upper, and a puncture-resistant midsole, keeping your feet shielded from impact and sharp objects on-site.
- 360-Degree Rubber External Chassis: This system provides maximum ankle support and stability, reducing the risk of twists or strains when navigating uneven terrain.
- SRC Slip Resistance: Tested on both ceramic and steel surfaces, the outsole provides superior grip to help prevent slips and falls in challenging conditions.
- PU/TPU Outsole: The dual-density construction balances comfort with long-term durability, offering excellent shock absorption and resistance to abrasion.
Design & Performance
Constructed using Crazy Horse Leather, the upper of this hiker boot is designed to withstand the scrapes and scuffs of daily professional use while maintaining a professional appearance. The leather is naturally sturdy yet supple enough to conform to the foot over time, preventing the discomfort often associated with rigid safety footwear.
The performance is further enhanced by the integrated external chassis. Unlike standard boots that rely solely on the leather for structure, this 360-degree system acts as a protective cage for the foot. This is particularly beneficial for those working on construction sites or in logistics where lateral movement and uneven ground are constant factors.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on this specific item to ensure the structural integrity and safety certifications remain intact. Modifying the leather upper or the chassis system could potentially compromise the S3 safety rating and the water-resistant properties of the boot. Your safety is our priority, and providing the product in its original, tested form ensures it performs exactly as intended by the manufacturer.
Use Cases
This boot is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of professions. While it is a natural fit for construction and heavy trade work, it is also recommended for personnel in catering, bakeries, and butcheries where slip resistance and toe protection are essential. It is equally at home in warehouse environments where ankle support is required during long shifts on hard floors.

Practical Advice
As this is a sturdy hiker-style boot, we recommend wearing it with high-quality work socks to manage moisture and provide extra cushioning. When selecting your size, consider if you will be wearing particularly thick thermal socks in winter, as you may require a fraction more room. Ensure the laces are tied securely to the top eyelet to make full use of the 360-degree chassis support.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety lifespan of your boots, regular cleaning is essential. We recommend removing heavy mud and debris with a soft brush after every shift. Allowing dirt to dry into the leather can cause it to crack over time, which compromises the water-resistant barrier.
If the boots become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or heaters. Excessive heat can cause the Crazy Horse Leather to become brittle and the sole adhesives to weaken. Periodically applying a suitable leather conditioner will help maintain the suppleness and longevity of the material.
