Discover a Wide Range of Work Boots for Men and Women

When you’re on your feet all day, the last thing you should worry about is your footwear. Our collection of work boots is designed to take on tough environments, wet weather, and hazardous conditions - keeping you protected and comfortable from clock-in to clock-out.

We've got some of the biggest brands in workwear, including Hard Yakka and Blundstone, alongside the bestselling CAT boots. Choose from a wide range of styles, including dealer boots, lace-up boots, rigger boots, and work wellies, with both safety and non-safety footwear available. 

 

What Features Make the Best Work Boots?

In a nutshell, work boots are all about comfort and protection. They keep your feet safe when in work environments, like warehouses or construction sites, as well as simply being comfortable to wear. When you head out in the morning, you want to know your footwear is easy to wear and doing the job intended - that's why it's important to find the best work boots for you. 

With a great pair of boots, you'd expect to find durable materials like full-grain leather, which is sturdy enough to tackle your everyday work. You also need decent outer soles that won't wear out after a few long days, cushioned insoles to help absorb pressure, and waterproof membranes can come in useful too depending on your job requirements. 

If you work in hazardous environments, safety footwear is essential too. This means tough boots with steel toe caps, midsole protection, and even specialist safety features like chemical resistant materials.

 

Should You Wear Safety Boots or Non-Safety?

Whether you need those steel toe caps or not largely depends on the level of protection your workplace requires.

For example, if you work in a trade such as construction, your feet will likely be at risk from heavy objects and machinery, so you need to make sure that you're wearing boots that will help prevent serious injury if that should happen. That's where the steel toes come in - they should take the brunt of any impact.

Also, consider the ground surface you'll be working on. Slippery surfaces, like those outdoors which will often see lots of rain, increase your risk of falling, so, again, it pays to be prepared with footwear that will help keep you steady on your feet. You'll find slip-resistant soles in our selection of safety boots, so you've got peace of mind for that protection needed.

All safety footwear must adhere to a general standard (whether it's a pair of trainers, wellies, or dealer boots), but there are different safety ratings - known as "S ratings". These refer to the additional features that may be present, such as S1 footwear being anti-static and resistant to fuel oil, with energy absorption at the heel.

 

How to Wear Work Boots with Your Workwear

All the mens and womens work boots in our extensive range are designed to match easily with your workwear. They pair with all types of work trousers, whether you usually wear cargo trousers, joggers, or jeans. You can also wear them with work shorts in the summer months, plus we've got safety trainers and short wellies as part of our collection as a great option for your warm weather work footwear.

Remember to invest in decent work socks to complement the comfort levels provided by your new boots - it's often the thing people forget, and it then often becomes the thing they regret!

 

Care & Cleaning Tips for Work Boots

One of the most common queries we get is how to keep your boots looking good, especially when they often take a battering each day. The best advice we can give is maintenance.

Spending a minute or two giving muddy boots a quick wipe down at the end of the day will save you time, and money, down the line. Then, every so often, give them a proper thorough clean using footwear cleaner, and reproofing spray if you've got waterproof work boots. If you're keen to learn more about looking after your footwear, we've put together a handy guide to help.
