Product Overview
The Regatta Guardstone S7 waterproof hiker represents a significant advancement in protective footwear, combining the agility of a hiking boot with the rigorous safety standards required for modern industrial environments. Certified to EN ISO 20345:2022 S7, these boots are engineered for those who navigate rugged terrain and unpredictable weather conditions. The mid-cut silhouette is specifically designed to offer a balance between mobility and stability, ensuring that your feet remain dry, protected, and well-supported throughout a demanding shift.
Key Features
- Steel Toecap Protection: The integrated steel toecap provides a robust shield against impact and compression, safeguarding your feet from falling objects or heavy machinery.
- Penetration-Resistant Midsole: A reinforced midsole prevents sharp objects such as nails or glass from piercing the sole, an essential feature for construction and demolition sites.
- TECFOAM Open Foam Insock: This advanced cushioning system offers superior underfoot comfort and breathability, reducing fatigue during long hours on your feet.
- Oil-Resistant PU Outsole: The durable polyurethane outsole is designed to maintain grip on slippery surfaces and resist degradation when in contact with oils and hydrocarbons.
- Mid-Cut Collar: The higher ankle design provides crucial support and reduces the risk of twists or strains on uneven ground.
Design & Performance
Constructed with a sophisticated upper material blend of 88% PU and 12% polyester, the Guardstone S7 is built to endure abrasive conditions while maintaining a professional appearance. The fabric selection ensures that the boot is substantial enough to withstand heavy use without becoming excessively cumbersome. The 100% polyester lining facilitates moisture management, working in tandem with the waterproof construction to keep the internal environment dry. Performance-wise, the combination of the waterproof membrane and the S7 safety rating makes this one of the more versatile options in our safety footwear range, capable of handling both indoor facility management and outdoor site work with equal competence.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-seal printing, on these safety hikers. This is a deliberate decision to maintain the integrity of the footwear. Any puncture to the outer material or the application of high heat could compromise the waterproof membrane and potentially void the safety certifications. Your safety and the boot's performance are far more important than a logo on the ankle.
Use Cases
These hikers are ideally suited for tradespeople working in the construction, landscaping, and engineering sectors. Because they provide high-level water resistance and a slip-resistant sole, they are particularly effective for surveyors or site managers who must move frequently between office environments and rugged, muddy terrain.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, we recommend considering the type of socks you intend to wear. If you prefer thick, thermal work socks for winter use, you may find a slightly more generous fit beneficial. Ensure the laces are tied firmly to make full use of the mid-cut collar's ankle support.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and safety performance of your Guardstone hikers, regular maintenance is essential. Accumulated mud and grit can act as an abrasive, prematurely wearing down the synthetic upper materials and compromising the waterproof seal.
We recommend cleaning the boots with warm, soapy water and a soft brush or cloth after use in dirty conditions. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents that may strip the protective finishes from the PU upper.
Crucially, you should always allow the boots to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Never place them directly against a heat source, such as a radiator or heater, as rapid drying can cause the materials to crack and the adhesives in the sole to fail, which would be an unfortunate way to end a boot's career.
