Safety boots play an essential role in preventing injuries on site, no matter where you’re working. At Toolstation, we know how important it is to look after your feet – that’s why we only stock the very best work boots from the trade’s most trusted brands.
There are work safety boots for all kinds of trades and tasks. Many offer toe and midsole protection to reduce the risk of injury from impacts and increase puncture resistance from hazards underfoot.
Other work boots will have specialist features designed for specific work environments. If you’re always on the move, lightweight safety boots will maintain that spring in your step. For more demanding site use, choose from a variety of heavy-duty work boots for men and women.
Work Boots
All work boots come with safety codes to let you know what protection they provide. These safety ratings start with SB for Safety Basic – this means your work boots meet the basic safety standard for footwear, with toe protection against a 200J impact.
From there, safety ratings increase from S1 up to S7 for the highest specifications. S1 safety boots offer anti-static protection, oil resistance and an energy-absorbing heel in addition to the toe cap. As the ratings increase, you’ll find additional protection for the midsole along with resistance to water and more.
Work boots will also have additional abbreviations with their ratings, to identify any specialist safety features. The most common include A (anti-static), P (penetration resistance), WR (water resistance), HRO (outsole resistance to hot contact) and LG (ladder grip).
Site Boots
Site boots are the go-to choice for many trade pros or construction workers. This range includes steel toe cap boots that are incredibly strong and protect feet from drops, punctures, cuts and abrasions – an essential safety feature for all types of site work.
If you’re working in areas that require a non-metallic alternative to steel toe boots, choose composite toe safety boots – they’re more lightweight and are durable in wet weather because they won’t rust.
Waterproof Work Boots
Working outside all year round? Choose waterproof work boots that are essential for keeping your feet dry as well as safe. Look for the WR and WRU safety codes – this will ensure maximum water resistance.
You may also want to consider these safety wellies if you’re working in muddy conditions or on challenging terrains. These offer waterproof protection for both the feet and lower leg.
Lightweight Safety Boots
Lightweight safety boots are perfect for the less demanding work environments. They offer basic protection, but won’t restrict your freedom of movement. If you’re always on the go and on your feet for hours at a time, these are often the most comfortable work boots you can choose.
At Toolstation, you’ll find a huge range of women’s and men’s work boots in all sizes. Alongside an extensive range of popular DeWalt boots and Caterpillar boots in stock, we also offer safety boots from big brands including Scruffs, Stanley, Skechers, V12 and many more.
