Dealer Boots Containing Metal
Stick to trusted tradition with our range of dealer boots that contain metal safety features. These boots utilize proven materials like steel toe caps and steel anti-penetration midsoles to provide maximum protection against crushing and puncture hazards. For many tradespeople, the strength and reassurance of steel make it the material of choice for heavy-duty construction environments.
Boots containing metal often allow for a slightly sleeker toe profile than composite alternatives, as steel is stronger and therefore can be thinner. If you are working in demolition, recycling, or general construction where heavy impacts are a daily risk, these boots provide the robust defence you need.
FAQs
Are steel toe boots heavier?
generally, yes. Steel is heavier than composite materials. However, modern manufacturing has made steel toe boots much lighter than they used to be, and many users prefer the solid "feel" of a steel toe.
Does the metal get cold in winter?
Steel conducts temperature more than composite materials, so the toe area can feel colder in freezing conditions. Wearing thermal work socks is recommended if you are working outdoors in winter.
Are these boots anti-static?
Many boots containing metal are still rated as anti-static (look for the "A" symbol or S1/S3 rating). However, they are not "non-metallic," so they will trigger metal detectors at security checkpoints.
