Scruffs complies with the EEC Directive for Personal Protective Equipment (89/686/EEC) and meets the requirements of the European harmonised standard EN ISO 20345:2011.

Balancing comfort and durability isn’t always simple — tough materials are typically hard on the skin. And these boots are definitely more durable than they are comfortable (although they’re just snug enough that you can have them on without issues for an 8-10 hour shift.) They lose their waterproofing after 6-12 months (solved: almost ALL waterproof outdoor products need re-waterproofing after 6 months – I use NikWax).

The Apache Traction rigger boots are a pure contender for the DeWalt Tungsten, and not just because they’re cheaper. Fashionable yet tough, our stylish range of safety footwear features lines designed for light, medium, and heavy industrial use. There are rigger boots and steel toe work boots, as well as safety trainers and shoes. Where combinations of the additional specified features apply, the following markings are applicable: Marking With any work shoe, durability hinges as much on quality as it does on the type of work you’ll use them for.

Rubber soles can sometimes develop a white powdery surface. This can be wiped away easily using a damp cloth. These boots comprise multiple upper panels that are designed specifically to provide top-grade ankle support. This feature isn’t too common among rigger boots, and makes this pair a great option for working on rough terrain. Comfort

There aren’t any features that set these boots apart in terms of durability. That said, these humble boots have all the standard elements that give work boots their toughness: They’re one of the more expensive on our best rigger boots list, but they’re definitely worth the cash. Durability shouldn’t be an issue with these rigger boots — not under most conditions, anyway. The full-grain leather upper is triple-stitched, with a steel-capped toe, while the outsole is made with welted Goodyear rubber. The composition of the sole also adds a great deal of toughness to these boots — more on that below.

That said, we should mention that most complaints, as sparse as they are, focus on issues with comfort. Overall You’ll get a sole that’s tested up to 200 degrees which is dual density, a steel toe cap and mid sole protection. That’s enough to protect your ankle from twisting, but not much else – so it’s pretty-basic. Comfort However, if you wear safety boots daily, you’ll want something with more durability, ankle protection and that are waterproof, so our suggestion there is definitely the DeWalt Tungsten (#1 on our list).
