Ideal Applications
Consider for workshops, engineering, maintenance and construction tasks requiring the stated protection. Match the footwear to the actual hazards, including floor contamination and underfoot objects.

Check the fit with your work socks and secure the laces. Clean according to the supplied leather-care instructions and dry away from direct heat. Inspect soles, seams and uppers before use, and replace boots with damage that could affect protection.
FAQs
Is FD03 metal-free?
No. It contains both a steel toe cap and a steel penetration-resistant midsole.
Is this a waterproof boot?
The manufacturer specifies a water-resistant leather upper. Do not treat that as a whole-boot waterproof guarantee.
What does the HRO marking cover?
It relates to outsole contact-heat resistance. The stated 300°C test claim is not an ambient working-temperature limit for the complete boot.
