Product Overview
The FD05 Steel Leather Winter High Boot is a substantial piece of safety footwear engineered specifically for professionals operating in the most unforgiving cold-weather environments. Combining traditional leather durability with modern technical innovations, this high-leg boot ensures that even at temperatures as low as -30ºC, your focus remains on the task at hand rather than the elements. It is a robust solution for those who require uncompromising protection and warmth without the common struggle of standard lacing systems when the temperature drops.
Key Features
- Wire Lace System: This innovative mechanism allows for precise tightening and loosening with a single gloved hand, ensuring you can adjust your fit without exposing your skin to the biting cold.
- Faux Fur Lining: The interior is fully lined with a dense faux fur, providing exceptional thermal retention and comfort in environments rated for extreme cold.
- Nitrile Rubber Outsole: Designed with deep cleats, the outsole provides outstanding grip and slip resistance on varied terrain, while also offering resistance to high heat.
- Comprehensive Protection: Featuring a robust TPU heel counter, a protective scuffcap, and reinforced leg padding, these boots offer multi-directional stability and impact protection in hazardous areas.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-grade leather, these boots are built to withstand the rigours of heavy-duty use. The high-leg design offers superior ankle support and prevents ingress from snow, slush, or debris. Performance is at the heart of the FD05, meeting the EN ISO 20345:2022 S3L standards, which include water-resistant properties and penetration resistance. The integrated scuffcap is particularly useful for those who spend time kneeling, as it prevents the leather from wearing through at the toe. Furthermore, the nitrile rubber outsole provides a cold-insulating barrier, keeping the chill of the ground away from the sole of your foot.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on this specific item because it is a certified piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any attempt to embroider or print onto the leather upper could weaken the structural integrity of the material, potentially invalidating its safety certifications and compromising the boot's water resistance or thermal properties. We believe in prioritising your safety above all else.
Use Cases
These boots are the primary choice for workers in sub-zero cold storage facilities, outdoor construction sites during the winter months, and off-shore environments. If your workday involves navigating ice, snow, or muddy terrain in freezing temperatures, the FD05 provides the necessary traction and warmth to keep you moving safely and comfortably.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that these boots feature a thick faux fur lining designed to keep you warm in extreme conditions. While they are sized to accommodate this, ensure there is still enough room for toe movement to maintain healthy circulation. As with all sturdy leather footwear, we recommend a short period of 'breaking in' to allow the leather to supple and conform to the unique shape of your foot.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your winter boots, regular cleaning is essential. Mud and salts used on icy roads can degrade leather if left to sit; we recommend wiping them down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution after heavy use. This prevents the leather from drying out and cracking prematurely, which would otherwise compromise the boot's water resistance.
Never dry your boots by placing them directly against a radiator or heater. Rapid drying can cause the leather to become brittle and may affect the bond of the nitrile outsole. Instead, remove the insoles and allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated room. Applying a quality leather conditioner periodically will help keep the upper supple and ensure the boots remain a reliable part of your kit for seasons to come.
