Product Overview
The Steel Split Leather Winter Boot S3 SRC is a specialised evolution of our most popular safety footwear, specifically engineered for those who refuse to let dropping temperatures dictate their productivity. This high-leg boot combines the robust protection of split leather with a plush faux fur lining, ensuring that warmth is maintained without compromising on the essential safety standards required for heavy-duty work. It is a substantial, sturdy boot designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty PPE and thermal comfort.
Key Features
- S3 Safety Rating: Provides a comprehensive safety shield, including a puncture-resistant midsole and water-resistant properties, essential for unpredictable outdoor or industrial sites.
- Faux Fur Lining: This thermal layer traps heat effectively, keeping your feet comfortable and operational in freezing environments.
- SRC Slip Resistance: The outsole is tested on both ceramic and steel surfaces with lubricants, offering the highest level of grip to prevent workplace accidents on slick surfaces.
- High-Leg Design: Offers enhanced ankle support and additional protection against debris and the elements compared to standard-height boots.
- Split Leather Upper: Provides a durable and breathable exterior that withstands the rigours of manual labour while maintaining its structural integrity.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a premium split leather upper, this boot is built for longevity. The material is chosen for its ability to resist abrasions while providing a professional finish in a classic black colourway. The performance of this footwear is anchored by its PU/TPU outsole; the dual-density construction allows for a softer, shock-absorbing inner layer for comfort and a harder, more resilient outer layer for contact with the ground. This combination reduces foot fatigue during long shifts on hard surfaces.
The S3 certification ensures that the boot is not only protective against impact but also provides a barrier against water penetration, making it particularly effective for those moving between indoor and outdoor environments. The integration of the faux fur lining is seamless, ensuring that there are no uncomfortable pressure points within the boot while providing significant thermal insulation.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of safety-critical Foot Protection, we do not offer customisation or embroidery on these boots. Altering the structure of the boot or piercing the leather upper could potentially compromise the S3 safety rating and the integrity of the water-resistant barrier. We believe in providing PPE that performs exactly as the manufacturer intended, ensuring your safety remains the priority without any technical compromises.
Use Cases
These boots are ideally suited for staff working in cold storage, outdoor construction sites during the winter months, or in professions such as butchery and catering where moisture and low temperatures are common. They are also a sensible choice for logistics and warehouse personnel who are frequently exposed to drafts and cold concrete floors. If you spend your working day in an environment where the thermometer rarely climbs above single digits, your feet will appreciate the investment.

Practical Advice
Given the thick faux fur lining, some users find that wearing a technical thermal sock requires careful consideration of sizing. We recommend ensuring there is enough room for air to circulate within the boot, as compressed insulation is significantly less effective at retaining heat. If you are between sizes, the high-leg design and secure lacing system allow for a stable fit even if you choose a slightly larger size to accommodate winter hosiery.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety footwear is essential for ensuring it continues to provide the protection levels specified by the EN ISO 20345 standard. We recommend beginning by removing surface dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth after every shift. Neglecting the leather can lead to drying and cracking, which allows water ingress and reduces the overall lifespan of the boot.
Never dry these boots directly against a radiator or high heat source. Excessive heat can cause the split leather to become brittle and may damage the adhesive bond of the PU/TPU outsole. Instead, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
Regularly check the tread of the outsole for trapped debris. A clogged tread pattern will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the SRC slip resistance, increasing the risk of slips in the workplace. Applying a quality leather conditioner occasionally will help maintain the water-resistant properties of the S3 rating.
