Leather safety boots

Safety boots are essential for anyone working in tough conditions and needing reliable protection for their feet. Our S3 safety boots provide water resistance and puncture protection, making them ideal for humid and high-risk environments. For even greater protection, S5 safety boots add resistance to oils and chemicals, as well as an anti-puncture and antistatic sole. Finally, for the coldest days, our men’s lined boots combine thermal comfort and safety.

Extreme working environments require mandatory use of PPE to protect against all types of risks. Protecting your feet from hazards, whether physical or chemical, is a priority. This is why work boots are a key asset. They provide optimal protection against accidents in a wide range of work settings. They can protect you from cold, hydrocarbons, impacts and moisture.

There are several types of work boots so you can choose the model best suited to your needs. This variety also helps you select designs that match your specific work environment. You’ll find leather safety boots, rain boots and lined safety boots with slip-resistant soles.

Leather safety boots: maximum protection for your feet

Leather safety boots are the reference personal protective equipment for professionals exposed to site hazards. These high safety shoes combine the robustness of leather with advanced protection technologies, ensuring optimal safety in the most demanding work environments. Their design complies with the strictest European standards, including ISO 20345, for reliable protection against impacts, punctures and slips.

Why choose leather safety boots?

Leather is the material of choice for professionals in construction, industry and landscaping. Its natural resistance to abrasion and tearing makes it a durable ally in challenging field conditions. Oxwork leather boots offer superior protection against liquid splashes, sparks and blunt objects. Their high upper effectively protects the ankle and lower leg, areas that are particularly exposed during outdoor work.

Safety classifications and technical standards

Our leather safety boots comply with different protection levels depending on your professional requirements:

S3 and S5 standards: enhanced protection

S3 boots include a protective toe cap, a puncture-resistant midsole and resistance to water penetration. S5 models add full waterproofing and resistance to hydrocarbons, making them ideal for wet and chemical-prone environments.

SRC certification: maximum grip

The SRC classification guarantees optimal slip resistance on both dry and wet surfaces. This feature is crucial for maintaining stability on slippery construction site floors.

Comfort and protection technologies

Modern safety boots integrate a range of technical innovations to combine high protection with day-long comfort:

Polyurethane soles and shock absorption

Polyurethane soles provide excellent impact absorption while remaining flexible. This technology reduces foot fatigue and improves comfort during long working days.

Technical linings and thermal regulation

Lined boots feature insulating linings for winter work, while unlined versions prioritise breathability for warmer seasons. Some models also include waterproof, breathable membranes for optimal comfort.

Selection guide by job role

Your choice of safety boots must be precisely aligned with your work environment and the specific risks of your job.

Construction and building trades

For building trades, choose S3 SRC boots with a reinforced toe cap and puncture-resistant sole. HRO resistance (heat up to 300 °C) is essential for welding, asphalt or casting work.

Industry and maintenance

Industrial environments require boots that resist hydrocarbons and chemicals. Fully non-metallic models are perfect for areas with metal detectors.

Landscaping and agriculture

Landscaping and agricultural professionals should opt for waterproof boots with deep-tread soles for optimal grip on soft and wet ground.

Frequently asked questions about leather safety boots

Find answers to the most common questions about choosing and maintaining your protective footwear.

What is the difference between full-grain leather and split leather?

Full-grain leather offers superior resistance and durability. Its smooth surface is easier to clean and better resists splashes. Split leather is more affordable and suitable for occasional use.

How do you maintain leather safety boots?

Like all leather safety shoes, regular cleaning with lukewarm water and mild soap, followed by natural air drying, helps preserve the leather’s suppleness. Periodic application of a nourishing care product maintains water repellency and extends the lifespan of your boots.

Which size should you choose for optimal comfort?

Choose half a size larger than your city shoes to accommodate work socks and allow good blood circulation during prolonged wear.

Are safety boots suitable for women?

Many models are specifically designed for women’s feet, with sizes starting from 35 and adjusted shapes for better support and comfort.

Can you use orthopaedic insoles in safety boots?

Like all work shoes, most safety boots can accommodate orthopaedic insoles. Make sure there is enough space inside the boot so you can insert the insole without compromising comfort or safety.
