Product Overview
The Steelite Mid Cut Nubuck Boot SB HRO represents a marriage of traditional durability and modern safety engineering. Designed for those who spend their working day on their feet in demanding environments, this boot provides a mid-cut profile that offers essential ankle support without the restrictive height of a full rigger boot. The choice of full-grain nubuck leather for the upper ensures a professional aesthetic that is more than capable of handling the rigours of industrial or culinary workspaces.
Key Features
- Full-Grain Nubuck Leather Upper: Provides a durable and resilient outer shell that protects against workplace abrasions while maintaining a smart appearance.
- Phylon and Rubber Outsole: This combination offers excellent slip resistance and heat resistance, meeting the HRO standard for contact heat up to 300°C.
- High Wicking Breathable Mesh Liner: Engineered to move moisture away from the foot, ensuring internal comfort during long shifts in warm environments.
- SB Safety Rating: Includes an integrated protective toe cap to safeguard against impact and compression in hazardous zones.
- EN ISO 20345 Compliance: Fully certified to European safety standards, providing the peace of mind required for professional health and safety adherence.
Design & Performance
The performance of this boot is rooted in its material composition. The use of full-grain nubuck leather ensures that the upper remains flexible yet sturdy, adapting to the wearer's foot over time. Despite its substantial and sturdy construction, the inclusion of a Phylon midsole helps to dampen impact, reducing fatigue when walking on hard surfaces such as concrete or tiled kitchen floors.
The outsole is a particular highlight, featuring a heat-resistant rubber compound (HRO). This is critical for environments where floors may reach high temperatures. The tread pattern is designed to provide reliable traction, while the breathable mesh lining works constantly to regulate the internal climate of the boot, preventing the buildup of heat and moisture.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation services such as embroidery or printing on our safety footwear range. As a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the structural integrity of the boot must remain uncompromised. Applying heat-press logos or puncturing the leather with embroidery needles could potentially weaken the materials or interfere with the safety certifications that protect your feet in the workplace.
Use Cases
These boots are specifically recommended for professionals in the catering and hospitality sectors, including chefs, bakers, and butchers, where spillages and heat are common risks. Their robust design also makes them highly suitable for general trades and warehouse staff who require a smart yet protective footwear solution.

Practical Advice
To ensure maximum protection and comfort, we recommend ensuring the laces are properly tightened to take full advantage of the mid-cut ankle support. When first wearing nubuck leather, a short breaking-in period may be required to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Caring for your product
Proper maintenance is essential to preserve the protective qualities and longevity of your nubuck boots. Neglecting the leather can lead to cracking and a reduction in the boot's lifespan.
We recommend cleaning dirt and debris with a dedicated nubuck brush. Avoid using heavy polishes or creams that can flatten the nap of the leather. If the boots become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Never place them directly against a radiator or heat source, as extreme heat can cause the leather to become brittle and the sole adhesives to fail.
