Product Overview
The Steelite Rigger Boot S1P HRO represents a robust solution for professionals who require significant foot protection without the added warmth of a traditional fleece lining. Constructed from high-quality action leather in a classic tan finish, this boot is designed to withstand the rigours of demanding outdoor and industrial environments. It provides a substantial, sturdy feel that reassures the wearer of its protective capabilities from the moment it is put on.
Key Features
- Integrated Steel Toecap: This provides essential protection against impact and compression, ensuring your toes are shielded from falling objects or heavy equipment.
- Protective Steel Midsole: A steel layer within the sole prevents sharp objects, such as nails or glass, from penetrating the boot and injuring the foot.
- Heat Resistant Outsole: The sole is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 300°C, making it suitable for tasks involving hot surfaces or extreme environments.
- Oil and Fuel Resistance: The PU/Rubber outsole is specifically formulated to resist degradation from oils and fuels, ensuring longevity and maintaining grip on slippery surfaces.
- Unlined Design: By removing the lining, this boot becomes an excellent choice for warmer conditions, allowing for better temperature regulation during long shifts.
Design & Performance
Engineered for durability, the Steelite Rigger Boot features an action leather upper that provides a resilient barrier against the elements. The PU/Rubber outsole combination is not only heat-resistant but also offers exceptional slip resistance and durability. The boot's substantial build quality ensures it can handle the daily grind of a busy site while remaining comfortable enough for extended wear. The unlined interior is a deliberate design choice for those working in warmer climates or high-temperature environments, preventing the foot from overheating while maintaining full safety compliance.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety seriously. This rigger boot is a precision-engineered piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) certified to EN ISO 20345 standards. We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on this item because any puncture to the leather or heat application could compromise the structural integrity and safety ratings of the boot. We prefer to ensure your protection remains uncompromised.
Use Cases
These boots are particularly well-suited for road workers, construction professionals, and those in the catering or baking industries where hot surfaces and heavy equipment are commonplace. The combination of heat resistance and unlined comfort makes them a versatile choice for any environment where safety and temperature management are equally important.

Practical Advice
Given the sturdy nature of these rigger boots, we recommend pairing them with high-quality, cushioned work socks to ensure maximum comfort and to help with the initial breaking-in period. Because these are unlined, you may find you have more room for layering socks during the colder months if required.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety characteristics of your boots, regular care is essential. Neglecting the leather can lead to cracking and a reduction in its protective lifespan.
We recommend cleaning your boots regularly with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris. Allowing dirt to build up can dry out the leather and cause it to stiffen. If the boots become wet, they should be allowed to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing them directly next to a heat source, such as a radiator, as this can cause the leather to become brittle and eventually split.
Periodically treating the action leather with a suitable leather conditioner will help maintain its suppleness and water-resistant properties, ensuring your boots remain a reliable part of your kit for as long as possible.
