Product Overview
The Steelite Rigger Boot S1P CI HRO is a staple for professionals who require robust protection combined with exceptional value. Established as a reliable choice in our footwear range, these boots are designed to handle the rigours of industrial environments while ensuring the wearer remains comfortable throughout the day. The inclusion of a fur lining provides a significant advantage in maintaining warmth, while the integrated thumb straps address the practical need for easy donning in a busy work setting.
Key Features
- Steel Toecap: Provides essential protection against impact and compression, ensuring your feet remain safe from falling objects or heavy equipment.
- Steel Midsole: Offers vital protection against sharp objects penetrating the sole, a critical requirement for safety on varied worksites.
- Fur Lining: Designed to trap heat effectively, this lining ensures your feet stay warm in cold conditions, reducing the risk of fatigue.
- Thumb Straps: These allow for the boots to be pulled on quickly and easily, saving time and effort at the start of a shift.
- Antistatic Protection: Helps to dissipate static electricity, reducing the risk of sparks in environments where this is a safety concern.
Design & Performance
Certified to EN ISO 20345 standards, these boots are built for performance. The S1P rating indicates a high level of safety integration, including toe protection and a puncture-resistant sole. Despite their sturdy and substantial construction, the boots are engineered for versatility. The CI (Cold Insulation) rating, supported by the thick fur lining, makes them particularly effective for outdoor work or unheated indoor spaces. The outsole is also heat resistant, providing an additional layer of safety when working on hot surfaces.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we specialise in branding your workwear to a professional standard. However, we do not offer customisation on safety footwear like the Steelite Rigger Boot. Altering the upper material through embroidery or heat-applied prints could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the boot or invalidate its safety certifications. To ensure your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) continues to meet the required safety standards and provides the protection you rely on, these boots are supplied in their original, tested condition.
Use Cases
These boots are particularly well-suited for a variety of demanding roles. They are an excellent choice for those working in catering and industrial kitchens where spillages and heavy equipment are common. Similarly, professionals in the butchery and bakery trades will find the combination of safety and easy-clean surfaces highly beneficial. Beyond these, they are a dependable choice for general construction, warehousing, and any role that requires moving between cold environments and indoor workspaces.

Practical Advice
Given the fur lining and rigger style, these boots are designed with a generous fit. If you typically wear a thick work sock, you should find your standard size provides ample room. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size to ensure the steel toecap does not cause discomfort during long periods of standing or walking. Ensure the thumb straps are used to pull the boot on evenly to prevent unnecessary wear on the internal lining.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective qualities and longevity of your boots, regular cleaning is essential. Remove surface dirt with a damp cloth or soft brush after each shift. Allowing mud or chemicals to sit on the material for extended periods can cause the outer surface to degrade prematurely, potentially affecting its water resistance and durability.
If your boots become wet, they should be allowed to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Never place them directly against a heat source, such as a radiator, as this can cause the materials to crack or become brittle, which may lead to the boots failing before their time. Regular application of a suitable boot polish or conditioner will help keep the outer material supple and resilient.
