Scruffs Men's Gravity Rigger Boots, Brown/Tan, 7 UK

Product Information

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 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.) SBP rated steel toe boots have been tested to ensure that the reinforced toe can withstand 200J impact and 15kN compression force. On top of that, the penetration resistant outsole has been tested at 1,100N. Popular SBP rated boots in our range include the Twister, the Monsoon, and the Oxygen.

If you’re looking for a tough, yet snug pair of rigger boots that won’t burn a hole in your wallet, this pair from Grafters may be a solid option. Just don’t forget that they’re not certified for heat-resistance.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. The DeWalt’s just offer that little extra in terms of ankle support, durability, waterproofing and even sole resistance to oil/petrol than anything else on this list. That said, we should mention that most complaints, as sparse as they are, focus on issues with 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: But, if you’re looking for value for money (i.e. comfort, safety/protection and durability) over just “cheap”, then they’re worth the cash.

S1P rated steel toe boots are made from more durable materials and feature closed seat regions. They offer all the protection of the SBP rated boots, but with added electrical resistance, and energy absorption. Popular S1P rated boots in our range include the Noble, and the Gravity rigger boots. The stiff TPU shell on the Apache Traction boots is going to offer you ankle support that rivals the DeWalts. They lose their waterproofing after 6-12 months (solved: almost ALL waterproof outdoor products need re-waterproofing after 6 months – I use NikWax).
