Ingco Safety Boots with Steel Toe Cap SSH04SB

Our review

The Ingco SSH04SB is a protective boot built around an SB-rated steel toe cap, so it is aimed at people who need impact protection at the front of the foot rather than a plain work shoe. The upper is split leather, which is a common choice for site and workshop footwear because it holds up to scuffs better than fabric, and the sole is dual density PU, a construction usually chosen to balance cushioning underfoot with a harder wearing outer layer. Sizes run from 39 to 46, which covers a good range of men's and unisex fits, and each pair is packed in a colour box. Before ordering, think about the conditions you work in. Steel toe caps protect against falling or rolling loads, but they are not the same as electrical hazard, puncture resistant or metatarsal protection, and none of those are stated here, so if your workplace requires them you will need to look at other models. Fit matters more than usual with safety boots because a loose boot lets the foot slide and a tight one rubs over a long shift. If you normally sit between two sizes, or wear thick socks, take that into account. Compare this pair with other SB-rated boots on things like upper material, sole type and the size range actually available, since those are the details that decide whether a boot lasts a season or a year.
