    VST 8 EYELET BOOT
    These new Vegan Steel Toe boots are as tough as old boots!

    Crafted with high-quality, breathable and water-resistant microfibre uppers. This 2mm thick, lightweight, Italian 'Mycro' material looks, feels and behaves like leather. It wears, folds, creases, ages and moulds to your feet like good quality leather. It is soft-to-the-touch, durable and takes little 'breaking in'.

    As the name suggests, the toes of these boots are reinforced with steel. Between the upper material and the lining there is an internal, 2mm thick, steel toe cap. Along with other quality components this makes the boots really tough and durable.

    The foreparts of the boots are lined for comfort and insulation. Triple, heavy-duty stitching is used on the uppers for strength. The pull-on heel tags are extra tough and woven from recycled bottles. Oversized, reinforced, 12mm metal eyelets make lacing-up speedy and easy.



    For those that like to personalise their boots, these bigger than average eyelets make it easy to use fat laces, flat laces, ribbons, para cord, twine, etc.

    Day-long comfort comes from padded foam insoles.
    Insole foam: 60-70% recycled polyethylene and 30-40% recycled EVA. Insole lining: 100% recycled polyester including plastic withdrawn from the ocean.

    These utilitarian, military styled boots also have part-bellows tongues. This means the tongues are sewn into the uppers up to the fourth eyelet to increase water resistance and keep out debris.

    The soles of these Vegan Steel Toe boots are thick and deep lugged and made for comfort, grip and durability. The sole has maximum traction from the classic mountaineering-type tread pattern, with 6mm deep lugs. Air Chambers in the dark grey sole can be seen through the translucent compound. These add cushioning, flexibility, and lightness. The cemented construction sole unit has the right amount of ‘squish’!

    An internal steel shank is used to for support to the midsole and create structure to the boot.

    These boots have a matt black finish but can be shined with polish. The neutral grey decorative stitching on the welt can be polished black if preferred.

    Water-resistance can be maintained and improved by using polish or dubbin, paying special attention to the stitched seams where water can ingress. Other, regular, non-solvent shoe care products can also be used. Contact with salt water is best fixed by rinsing with fresh water as soon as possible to dilute its corrosive effects. Avoid contact with solvents/petrol/chemicals which can damage the boots. If your boots get very wet, it is best to let them air dry naturally in a warm dry room. Don’t ‘force-dry’ them on a radiator.

    The soles on these boots can be repaired or replaced by a good shoe repairer. -If not worn ‘beyond repair'. These boots really are tough. If looked after, they may last longer than you! but they are not completely indestructible.

    To get the longest life from your boots, it is best, if possible, to rotate or alternate them with other footwear. This is true of leather and other shoes too. Even though the uppers are breathable, they are also moisture absorbing, just like leather. Airing out your footwear regularly can really help let them recover to give the longest and best possible service.

    Made with love. Designed in Brighton, England. Constructed in Portugal.

    Sizing notes
    Sizing is average.
    Select your usual size. If fit is slightly large, consider using a thicker insole for better fit.

    Height of boot, including heel, approx. 9 inches/ 23cm
    Heel Height is approx. 1.5 inches /40mm.
    Approx weight, size 42 pair: 1.54kg/3.4 pounds.

    We try to give the best advice about sizing. Please remember sizes vary from style to style and brand to brand. The shape of the shoe can affect the fit as well as the length and width. If replacing a style with a newer version, remember shoes can stretch and mould and become looser over time. A new version of the same shoe can feel tighter and quite different to the old friends you have come to love. Shoes mould to the shape of your feet, more in the width than the length. If they are slightly snug in the width then they may give a little and become more comfortable. If the shoes or boots are tight lengthways then they are likely too small and you need to try the next size up.
    Lastly, remember that insoles can REALLY make a difference when trying to get the right fit. Ours are quite thick but thinner ones are also available. In addition to making footwear more comfortable insoles can also help shoes and boots last longer.
