They’re better known for their tools, but the workwear coming out of the DeWalt factory is some of the best. The review covers a range of boots from the top brands, focusing on durable, comfortable, and hard-wearing safety boots with steel toes caps. We’ve also offered up a recommendation for a good work boot specifically designed for women (#10 on this list). Although they’re not as well known as the likes of CAT or Scruffs, Amblers made our best work boot brands list thanks to the fact they’re a specialist UK work boot manufacturer. Price-wise, they compare to the likes of the DeWalt Apprentice and the Apache Safety, so they’re a lot cheaper than many of the other top work boots out there.

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 After a cool-looking set of water-resistant steel toe boots? The Scruffs OXIDE is tailor-made for you! They’ve come up with a range of “trainer-looking” work safety boots that incorporate steel toe caps, and the Twister Sport trainers are one of them. Firstly, they’re breathable — you shouldn’t perspire in these boots, even if you’re working in them all day (if you do, there’s an anti-bacterial sole). This means your steel toe work boots are nice and fresh even at the end of an exhausting, sweaty work week.These boots utilise a flat heel, which means they’re even comfortable if you’ve got flat or wide feet. 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. 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.

Where combinations of the additional specified features apply, the following markings are applicable: Marking 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. The FS7 has a durable steel toe cap, and unlike the Holtons, there is extensive mid-sole support here. The lacing structure reduces pressure points on the ankle but offers the required support at the same time. Scruffs offer products that sit in a nice middle ground. They combine aesthetics, quality, durability and comfort; but their kit doesn’t break the bank. There’s a tonne of quality safety boots on offer, such as the OXIDE and Twisters.

These men’s workboots are so lightweight and slimline, there’s a good chance they’ll be mistaken for trainers. But on top of the sleek aesthetics, you’ll also get plenty of protection, like a steel toe cap that’s S3-rated. What’s more, these work boots come with a durable midsole that’s reinforced to guard your foot. Fashionable yet tough, our stylish range of safety footwear features lines designed for light, medium, and heavy industrial use. There are rigger boots and steel toe work boots, as well as safety trainers and shoes. Always allow footwear to dry naturally in a well ventilated area. Never force dry it with direct heat sources (radiators, heaters etc.).
