Product Overview
The Steel Nubuck Leather Mid Boot (FW32) represents a serious commitment to foot safety without sacrificing the professional aesthetic required for modern trade environments. This mid-cut boot is constructed from full-grain nubuck leather, providing a substantial barrier against the elements while maintaining a supple feel that adapts to the wearer's foot over time. It is designed to meet rigorous safety standards, offering comprehensive protection from both overhead hazards and underfoot risks.
Key Features
Integrated Steel Toecap: Engineered to protect the toes from heavy impacts and compression, ensuring your safety in environments where falling objects are a constant risk.
Steel Midsole: This internal plate prevents sharp objects from piercing the sole of the boot, providing essential protection when walking on sites with debris or protruding nails.
S3 Water Resistant Leather: The full-grain nubuck leather is treated to repel water, keeping your feet dry during outdoor work or in damp environments such as professional kitchens.
HRO Heat Resistant Outsole: The rubber outsole is tested to withstand temperatures up to 300°C, making it ideal for workers who may come into contact with hot surfaces.
Design & Performance
This mid-weight boot is built on a foundation of performance and durability. The combination of an EVA and rubber outsole provides a balance of cushioning and exceptional grip. The use of full-grain nubuck leather ensures that the boot is not only sturdy but also breathable enough for long shifts. Rated to EN ISO 20345:2022 S3 standards, the boot is technically proficient for high-risk areas, while the mid-height design offers additional ankle support compared to a standard safety shoe.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we pride ourselves on our customisation expertise, yet we do not offer embroidery or printing on this specific footwear. This is a deliberate decision based on safety. Piercing the leather with embroidery needles or applying heat-press transfers could compromise the S3 water-resistant membrane and the structural integrity required by safety certifications. We believe in providing equipment that performs exactly as the manufacturer intended, without interference.
Use Cases
While this boot is robust enough for general construction and logistics, its specific certifications make it particularly suitable for the catering and food production industries. It is an excellent choice for butchers, bakers, and kitchen staff who require the water resistance of nubuck and the heat protection of an HRO outsole. It is equally at home in hospitality and hotel maintenance where a smart, black safety boot is required.

Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit and longevity from your nubuck boots, we recommend wearing them with a dedicated work sock. This helps with moisture management and provides additional cushioning during the initial period of wearing in the leather. Given the sturdy nature of these boots, a short period of gradual wear is recommended to allow the full-grain leather to soften and mould to your foot shape.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your safety footwear is essential for its longevity and your continued protection. We recommend cleaning your boots regularly by brushing away dried mud and debris with a soft brush. This prevents the leather from cracking and ensures the water-resistant properties remain effective.
If the boots become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing them directly against a radiator or heat source, as excessive heat can cause the nubuck leather to become brittle and may affect the bond of the rubber outsole. For continued water resistance, a specialized nubuck protector spray can be applied periodically.
