How To Use

- Lace Securely: Use the D‑rings to lace firmly without pressure points; tuck loose lace ends.
- Daily Check: Inspect for damage to the toe cap, outsole and seams before each shift; replace if compromised.
- Use Conditions: Best for dry environments; avoid prolonged exposure to wet or muddy conditions as PU outsoles are not water‑resistant.
- Care: Wipe dirt, allow to dry at room temperature, and store away from direct heat sources.

A: S1 under EN ISO 20345 (steel toe, antistatic properties and energy‑absorbing heel; no puncture‑resistant midsole).
Q: Is it suitable for wet or muddy sites?
A: Not recommended—PU outsoles are not resistant to water contact; choose a water‑resistant S2/S3 boot for those conditions.
Q: Does it have a puncture‑resistant plate?

Q: How should I clean and dry the shoes?
