Work Boots: Dry Feet From Early Morning to Late Evening

Work Boots: Footwear for the Whole Working Day

On a farm you are rarely standing on dry ground. Sometimes it is slurry, sometimes meltwater, sometimes freshly hosed concrete in the milking parlour. A work boot therefore has to be watertight above all, give you a secure footing and rinse off easily. Here you will find PVC boots in high and low versions, cold-insulated models and safety boots in category S5, together with matching accessories.

From the PVC Boot to the Safety Model

The Kerbl IDRO comes as HIGH and LOW in olive green, an uncomplicated PVC boot for shed and yard. The Nora RANCH HIGH is cold-insulated down to -15 °C and therefore made for winter work, while the RANCH LOW is there if you prefer a shorter shaft. Where tools, pallets or fittings are lying about, reach for the Dunlop Purofort TerraPRO S5 with a steel toecap or the Dunlop Work-It FULL Safety S5. The S5 marking stands for a toecap, a penetration-resistant sole, a closed heel area and a waterproof shaft.

Insoles, Cleaning and Care

How comfortable a boot feels is often decided by the insole. They are available from Nora, as the Kerbl Arneflex and as the Dunlop Comfort, and a fresh pair noticeably revives a well-worn boot. To keep the muck out of the house there is a stainless steel boot cleaner with a water connection, where you brush the sole down on the spot. A boot rack for three pairs holds the shafts open and upside down so they dry through inside. Collonil shoe wax and impregnating spray keep leather and uppers supple.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does S5 mean?
An S5 boot has a toecap, a penetration-resistant sole and a closed heel area, and it is waterproof. It makes sense wherever nails, screws or heavy parts are lying around.

High or low?
A high shaft keeps splashes and slurry off more reliably and suits mucking out. The low version is lighter and more pleasant if you walk a lot and stand in the wet very little.

What is the best way to dry boots?
Rinse the sole, take the insole out and stand the boot upside down on a rack. Drying right by a radiator makes the material brittle, so an airy spot is better.
