Product Information

But their strength doesn’t make the Scruffs Twisters uncomfortable. Far from it, in fact. Thanks to the PU sole that merges into rubber, these are some of the lightest work boots available in the UK. And the comfort they offer is elevated even further thanks to the padded tongue and upper part of the boot.

Outsole – This is, apart from the uppers, the most visible part of the boot, and certainly the most rugged. They’re typically made from PVC or proprietary rubber compounds, and are primarily designed to provide grip, alongside resistance to electricity and chemicals. I’ve owned plenty of Apache products, including their work trousers. I can, hand on heart, say that their stuff is cheap, but it rivals the very best in the business. If you’re looking for a secure fit, Poseidon’s got it. There’s plenty of heel support and padding around the ankle, further secured by a tough YKK side zipper and leather collar strap. Even the steel toe cap features an ergonomic design which doesn’t crowd or pinch your toes. And despite all the fittings and durable materials, Poseidon is surprisingly breathable inside, making it the ideal choice for all-day wear. DeWalt Poseidon at a glance Safety boots aren’t just a nice thing to have, they’re often a requirement at the workplace. And no manufacturer knows the demands of the workplace better than DeWALT. Thermoplastic polyurethane is a miracle material which occupies the space somewhere between plastic and rubber. It’s flexible, strong, and has a good grip. It is most often found adorning work boots as a bumper along the heel or toe, but many models use it for their outsoles, as well. PVC

Reviews

If you work on construction projects with countless hazards, you need to think beyond comfort and look for work boots with the maximum possible protection. That’s where the Scruffs Twisters fit in our lineup of the best work boots. So, the Titanium’s rugged, but that’s nothing if it doesn’t protect your feet. But that it does exceedingly well, with steel in both the toe cap and embedded within the PU midsole. As an American boot, it conforms with that country’s safety standards with full ASTM compliance, rating well vs. impact, compression, and electrical hazards. (This is equivalent to Europe’s EN 345 standard). Titanium at a glance We’ve mentioned that Camden meets with American safety standards, but sadly that doesn’t fully translate to European standards. You’ll be fine with the toe cap in most cases, but if your job requires a specific level of electrical, chemical, or slip resistance, best find something with the necessary qualifications to get through the red tape. Don’t forget there’s no steel midsole, either. 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.

It’s also important to be aware that the Rigger’s rubber insole has not been tested for heat resistance. If this is important to you, the Goodyear welt allows for HRO sole replacements. But, you might be better off considering another boot, as well. Unlike many rigger boots which flood the market as fashion items, the DeWalt Rigger work boots are the real deal. Conforming to EN-345 safety standards, these feature both a steel toe and ample ankle support, guarding you on the job.Inside, your feet will enjoy maximum comfort thanks the layering of dual-density PU/memory foam insole upon EVA midsole. What’s more, the insole is anti-bacterial, helping you stave off athlete’s foot, fungus, and other nasty afflictions of busy feet. The Apprentice also helps you keep stable with a TPU heel support. All together, these features work to absorb the energy of impact from your feet hitting the ground, helping you work longer hours with less pain. DeWalt Apprentice at a glance We’ve reviewed the seven best DeWalt work boots in depth according to their comfort, fit, build, looks, and of course, protective measures. Each one occupies its own niche, and will serve as the perfect tool for its job. What is your experience with DeWalt safety boots? This is the material of choice for most safety boot uppers, due to the fact that it wears hard, requires little maintenance, and looks better with age. In fact, this is the best grade of leather for any purpose, as it makes use of the entire animal skin. Other grades, like top-grain or genuine leather, split the skin into its constituent layers as a cost-cutting measure. The cushioned leather uppers and sports-style inner sole mean these are some of the most comfortable steel toe work boots in the UK right now. And, unlike other durable safety boots, you won’t need to break these ones in. Just like a pair of trainers, you’ll get no rub, straight out of the box. The DeWalt Rigger is a best-selling boot, and provide an excellent, rugged alternative to Wellington style boots. They’re unisex, and can be comfortably worn by anyone; just keep in mind that you might need to size up if you’re on the fence, as they offer a tight fit by design.

Polyvinyl chloride is another common outsole material, due to its resistance to oils, abrasions, and electricity. It’s not as grippy as TPU or other rubber compounds; as such PVC outsoles tend to have novel tread designs or make use of other materials for traction. How to care for your safety boots Be aware that the toe cap isn’t as spacious as some may like, so keep this in mind when choosing your safety boot. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the goods while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation. This applies to all goods that are returned. After a cool-looking set of water-resistant steel toe boots? The Scruffs OXIDE is tailor-made for you!If you’re a fan of UK companies, then Apache is another work boot brand you should look into. They’ve been creating quality workwear for the construction industry since 1999. The core feature of the Scruffs Twister work boots is the strength of the steel toe cap and mid-sole protection. These steel toe work boots resist piercing pressure of up to 1100kN, so they’re unimaginably strong.
