- Antistatic properties: The boots should have antistatic properties to minimize the buildup of static electricity and reduce the risk of electrical hazards.
- Energy absorption in the heel region: The footwear should be capable of absorbing energy in the heel area to minimise the impact of walking or running.
- Water-resistant upper: The boots must have a water-resistant upper to provide some level of protection against water penetration.
- Penetration-resistant midsole: The footwear should include a penetration-resistant midsole to protect against sharp objects piercing through the sole, such as nails or shards of glass.
- Cleated outsole: The boots should have a cleated or patterned outsole to provide slip resistance and traction on various surfaces.

Why Do I Need Rigger Boots?
- Safety and Protection: These rigger boots are equipped with various safety features to safeguard the wearer's feet and lower legs.
- Durability: Rigger boots are typically constructed from sturdy materials such as leather or synthetic materials. The materials in these boots offer resistance to abrasion, impact, and general wear and tear, ensuring the boots can withstand the rigors of demanding work environments.
- Slip Resistance: Rigger boots often have soles with robust traction patterns designed to provide slip resistance. This feature helps workers maintain stable footing on various surfaces, including wet, oily, or uneven surfaces, reducing the risk of slips, trips, and falls.
- Comfort and Support: Rigger boots are designed to provide comfort during extended periods of wear. This pair offers cushioned insoles, and supportive midsoles in addition to ankle support, reducing the risk of strains or injuries.
- Easy On/Off: Many rigger boots (including this pair) typically have pull-on loops or side tabs, which facilitate easy donning and removal, especially when workers need to quickly change their footwear.
- Versatility: Rigger boots are suitable for a wide range of industries and work environments, including construction sites, oil rigs, warehouses, factories, and other locations where safety and protection are essential.
