Product Overview
The Steel Split Leather Ankle Boot S1 SR represents a dependable choice for professionals who require robust foot protection without compromising on daily comfort. Expertly crafted with a split leather upper, these boots offer a secure and supportive fit that stands up to the rigours of long shifts in busy working environments. By combining a classic safety silhouette with modern technical features, this boot provides the essential safety elements required to meet stringent workplace standards while remaining accessible for business owners looking to equip their teams efficiently.
Key Features
- Integrated Steel Toecap: This provides critical protection against impact and compression, ensuring the wearer is shielded from falling objects or heavy equipment.
- Slip Resistant (SR) Outsole: The sole is engineered to provide superior traction on a variety of surfaces, which is vital for preventing accidents in environments where spillages are common.
- Antistatic Properties: These boots are designed to dissipate electrostatic charges, preventing the build-up of static electricity which can be hazardous in certain professional settings.
- Dual Density PU Outsole: This construction creates a boot that is both durable on the outside and cushioned on the inside, offering a flexible feel that reduces foot fatigue.
Design & Performance
The design of this ankle boot focuses on the functional benefits of its split leather upper. Leather is chosen for its natural breathability and resilience, providing a sturdy barrier against the elements while allowing the foot to remain comfortable. The performance is underpinned by the dual-density PU/PU outsole. Unlike single-density soles, this dual-layered approach ensures the bottom of the boot is tough enough to resist wear and tear while the inner layer provides the shock absorption needed when walking on hard industrial floors. This combination ensures the boot remains a substantial, sturdy choice for any wardrobe.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation services, such as embroidery or heat-seal printing, for this specific safety boot. This is a deliberate decision based on safety protocols; any perforation or high-heat application to the leather upper could compromise the integrity of the material and the internal safety components. To ensure that the boots continue to meet their S1 safety certification and provide the protection you expect, they are supplied in their original, tested condition.
Use Cases
This footwear is particularly well-suited for those working in the catering, hospitality, and food production sectors. The slip-resistant properties make it an ideal selection for butchers, bakers, and kitchen staff who must maintain steady footing on potentially slick surfaces. Furthermore, it is a practical choice for light industrial work and warehousing where basic toe protection and antistatic capabilities are mandatory requirements.

Practical Advice
To get the best performance from your leather ankle boots, we recommend pairing them with high-quality, moisture-wicking work socks. This helps to maintain a comfortable internal environment and can assist in the initial period of breaking in the leather. Ensure you select the correct size to allow the steel toecap to sit correctly over the toes; a well-fitted boot is essential for both safety and preventing unnecessary wear on the internal lining.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety footwear is essential for ensuring it continues to provide the necessary protection over its lifespan. We recommend cleaning the split leather uppers regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt, grease, or food particles. Allowing substances to remain on the leather can cause it to dry out and crack prematurely, which ultimately reduces the boot's effectiveness and durability.
If your boots become wet during a shift, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. You should avoid placing them directly against heaters or radiators, as excessive heat can cause the leather to become brittle and may affect the bond of the dual-density outsole. Storing them in a cool, dry place when not in use will help maintain the shape and structural integrity of the boot for the long term.
