Product Overview
The Steel Split Leather Mid Boot is a staple within the industry, favoured by tradespeople for its balance of uncompromising durability and daily comfort. Constructed from split leather with a mid-height profile, this boot provides essential ankle support and protection for long shifts on demanding sites.

As a best-seller in our range, it has earned a reputation for being one of the most reliable and sturdy boots available for those who spend their days on their feet.
Key Features
- 200 Joule Steel Toecap: This provides critical protection against impact and compression, ensuring the toes remain safe from falling objects or heavy equipment.
- Steel Midsole: A robust steel layer prevents sharp objects such as nails or shards from penetrating the sole, protecting the foot from serious puncture wounds.
- Slip Resistant Sole (SR): The advanced tread design offers superior grip on various surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of slips and falls in challenging or wet conditions.
- Energy Absorbent Heel: By absorbing the shock of each step, this feature reduces fatigue in the legs and joints, making a substantial difference during extended periods of standing or walking.
Design & Performance
The upper is crafted from a sturdy split leather, a material chosen for its resilience and ability to endure abrasive environments. Despite its substantial, sturdy build, the boot is designed for long-term wearability. Beneath the surface, the dual-density PU/PU outsole provides a reliable foundation. This material choice ensures the boot remains flexible enough for natural movement while remaining tough enough to resist wear and tear. Rated to EN ISO 20345:2022 S1P standards, it meets modern safety requirements for a variety of industrial and service sectors.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we prioritise your safety above all else. Footwear like the Steel Split Leather Mid Boot is precision-engineered to meet specific safety standards. Adding embroidery or heat-applied prints to these boots could compromise the structural integrity of the leather or the protective membranes, potentially invalidating the safety certifications. For this reason, we supply this item exactly as manufactured to ensure it performs at its protective peak when you need it most.
Use Cases
This boot is a versatile choice for professionals across multiple sectors. It is particularly well-suited for those in the building trades, as well as specialised environments such as commercial kitchens, bakeries, and butcheries where slip resistance and toe protection are paramount. Its understated black finish also makes it appropriate for front-of-house staff in hotels and restaurants who require safety footwear that maintains a smart, professional aesthetic.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the type of socks you intend to wear. For safety boots used in cooler environments, a thicker work sock may require moving up a size for a comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely to provide maximum ankle support and to prevent the foot from sliding inside the boot, which can cause discomfort over a long shift. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend opting for the larger size to allow for natural foot swelling throughout the day.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective qualities and extend the lifespan of your leather boots, regular maintenance is essential. Neglecting the leather can lead to cracking and reduced water resistance, which eventually compromises the boot's structure.
We recommend removing dried mud and dirt with a stiff brush after each shift. Allowing grime to sit on the leather can draw out natural oils, making the material brittle. If the boots become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Excessive heat can cause the leather to shrink or warp, and can damage the adhesives in the PU outsole.
Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or bleach on the boots. These substances will degrade the PU outsole and the leather finish, potentially weakening the structural bond of the footwear and reducing its lifespan. Regular application of a suitable leather conditioner will keep the material supple and resilient.
