Is there VAT on safety boots?
Most safety boots are zero-rated for VAT when sold as protective equipment meeting required safety standards (e.g., EN ISO 20345).
However, VAT may apply if the footwear is not classified as safety PPE. Always check the product classification at checkout.
What are the most comfortable safety boots?
Comfort varies by job role, foot shape and environment, but popular options include:
- Solid Gear boots (lightweight, sporty, metal-free designs)
- Portwest Steelite series (cushioning and supportive)
- Solid Gear ETPU models (premium shock absorption)
Choose boots with good arch support, breathable uppers and a wide fit if needed.
What are safety boots?
Safety boots are protective footwear designed to prevent workplace injuries. They typically include:
- Toe protection (steel or composite)
- Slip-resistant soles
- Penetration-resistant midsoles
- Anti-static or ESD protection
- Waterproof or heat-resistant features
They are essential PPE in many industries.
Are safety boots good for hiking?
Not usually.
While safety boots are durable and protective, they are heavier and less flexible than hiking boots. For long-distance walking, safety boots may cause fatigue. For mixed work/hike use, look for lightweight composite safety boots with cushioned soles.
Are safety boots waterproof?
Some are, but not all.
Models with a waterproof membrane (e.g., Portwest All Weather Boots, Solid Gear GTX models) will provide waterproof protection. Others may only be water-resistant. Always check the product description for “waterproof membrane” or “GORE-TEX®”.
Can you claim VAT on safety boots?
If the boots are zero-rated as PPE, there is no VAT to claim back.
If VAT was charged (e.g., boots not classed as safety footwear), a VAT-registered business can normally reclaim it through standard VAT procedures.
Do I have to wear safety boots at work?
You must wear safety boots if your employer’s risk assessment requires them.
Industries like construction, warehousing, engineering and manufacturing typically mandate safety footwear. Employers must provide appropriate PPE where there is a risk of injury.
How long do safety boots last?
Most safety boots last 6–24 months, depending on:
- Frequency of use
- Job type (wet conditions, rough terrain etc.)
- Material quality
- Proper cleaning and storage
Premium boots like Solid Gear or leather models tend to last longer with proper care.
How to clean safety boots?
- Remove dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth.
- Clean uppers using mild soap and warm water.
- For nubuck/suede, use a specialised cleaner and a suede brush.
- Dry naturally away from radiators or direct heat.
- Condition leather to prevent cracking.
- Check laces and insoles and replace when worn.
Proper maintenance increases comfort and lifespan.
