Ideal Applications
Assess for industrial maintenance, utilities and site duties requiring waterproof safety boots. Consider the required ankle coverage, floor conditions and the full protective specification during selection.
Use and Care
Set the lace fit before using the zip for everyday access. Keep fastenings clean and check the upper, sole and seams before wear. Follow the supplied care instructions and let the boots dry naturally. Where a particular standard or ESD requirement applies, confirm the markings on the supplied pair and the suitability of the wider workplace system.
