Scruffs Men's Gravity Rigger Boots, Brown/Tan, 7 UK

Product Information

And that support is held together by Honcho leather, so you get flex AND support at the same time. Comfort SBP rated steel toe boots have been tested to ensure that the reinforced toe can withstand 200J impact and 15kN compression force. On top of that, the penetration resistant outsole has been tested at 1,100N. Popular SBP rated boots in our range include the Twister, the Monsoon, and the Oxygen. They lose their waterproofing after 6-12 months (solved: almost ALL waterproof outdoor products need re-waterproofing after 6 months – I use NikWax). Take care of your Scruffs footwear and it’ll last longer. To ensure best use and wear it’s strongly recommended that Scruffs footwear is inspected and cleaned regularly. The following tips show you how: Cleaning

But, if you’re looking for value for money (i.e. comfort, safety/protection and durability) over just “cheap”, then they’re worth the cash. S1P rated steel toe boots are made from more durable materials and feature closed seat regions. They offer all the protection of the SBP rated boots, but with added electrical resistance, and energy absorption. Popular S1P rated boots in our range include the Noble, and the Gravity rigger boots.That said, the V12 Tomahawk waterproof rigger boots are extremely breathable, so they’ll keep you from perspiring during long, brutal work days. And, they’re actually waterproof, meaning your feet will stay dry even if you work in muddy, wet conditions. Durability That’s enough to protect your ankle from twisting, but not much else – so it’s pretty-basic. Comfort At Scruffs, we’ve got steel toe safety boots to suit every trade, every industry, and every purpose. Broadly speaking, our work boots can be broken down into four categories – SBP rated, S1P rated, S3 rated, and Waterproof. The ankle is padded, but if you prefer robust, fail-safe ankle support, it’s best to go for a different pair — like the DeWalt Tungstens. Comfort

All Scruffs safety footwear is manufactured using both synthetic and natural materials that conform to all relevant sections of EN ISO 20345:2011 for quality and performance. Comfortable, durable, and inexpensive — isn’t this all you need from a pair of rigger boots? Apart from a minor downside, the pair below seems to hit all 3 of these criteria; read on and see for yourself. Ankle Support The only note is that like many other rigger boots, buying a “size-up” is probably a good idea. OverallThat said, we should mention that most complaints, as sparse as they are, focus on issues with comfort. Overall The ankle area is padded, giving you a relative degree of ankle support. There’s also a TPU support for your heel. They’re one of the more expensive on our best rigger boots list, but they’re definitely worth the cash. The stiff TPU shell on the Apache Traction boots is going to offer you ankle support that rivals the DeWalts.

Where combinations of the additional specified features apply, the following markings are applicable: Marking These rigger boots from DeWalt offer a healthy assortment of features that will keep your feet — and legs — comfortable at work. If you’re looking for a tough, yet snug pair of rigger boots that won’t burn a hole in your wallet, this pair from Grafters may be a solid option. Just don’t forget that they’re not certified for heat-resistance.

Specification

Rigger boots take a lot of abuse, but no other part of them suffers more than the sole. That’s why you’ll be relieved to learn that this essential component on the Grafters is designed to keep the rigger boots — and your feet — safe from various hazards. In fact, the dual-density sole is certified to resist oil, fuel, static, and features an anti-slip outsole. That said, the ankle area is firm enough that these boots will keep you safe while gardening, farming, and performing other general tasks on uneven terrain. Scruffs complies with the EEC Directive for Personal Protective Equipment (89/686/EEC) and meets the requirements of the European harmonised standard EN ISO 20345:2011. It is type approved by Notified Body No. 0321, namely: Intertek Testing Services (Leicester) Ltd. Centre Court, Meridian Business Park, Leicester, LE19 1WD, Notified Body No. 0362. There aren’t any features that set these boots apart in terms of durability. That said, these humble boots have all the standard elements that give work boots their toughness: Yes, there are plenty of rigger boots out there that have sufficient ankle support. Again, take the DeWalt Tungstens, which have ankle support built right into the leather.
