Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dealer boot and why choose this style?
A dealer boot is a slip-on ankle boot style featuring elasticated side panels that allow easy wearing without laces or zips. This design provides excellent ankle support and protection whilst offering the convenience of quick on-and-off functionality. The Caterpillar Striver dealer boot is ideal for workers who frequently need to remove their safety footwear throughout the day, such as when entering clean areas or vehicles, whilst still requiring full safety protection when working.
What does wide-fit mean for this safety boot?
Wide-fit refers to boots specifically designed with additional width to accommodate workers with broader feet. The Caterpillar Striver provides extra room across the toe box and midfoot areas, preventing the discomfort, pinching, and pressure points that standard-width safety boots often cause during long shifts. This makes the boot particularly suitable for workers with bunions, wider feet, or those who have experienced discomfort in regular-width safety footwear.
What does the S3 SRC E FO WRU PR rating mean?
The S3 rating indicates this boot provides steel toe protection (200 Joules), antistatic properties, energy-absorbing heel, water-resistant upper, and penetration-resistant midsole. SRC confirms slip resistance on both ceramic tile and steel surfaces. E denotes energy absorption in the heel. FO means the outsole resists fuel oil. WRU indicates water-resistant uppers, and PR confirms penetration resistance. This comprehensive rating makes the Striver suitable for diverse working environments with multiple hazards.
Does the Caterpillar Striver run true to size?
Yes, the Caterpillar Striver Dealer Boot runs true to size in its wide-fit specification. Customer feedback and professional testing confirm that workers should order their regular UK shoe size for proper fit. The wide-fit design provides additional width without requiring sizing up, ensuring workers with broader feet achieve comfortable, secure fit without excess length. If you typically wear standard-width footwear, you may find this boot offers more room than needed.
What is the bump cap feature and who needs it?
The bump cap is an additional protective feature integrated into the boot design that provides protection against low-height impacts to the head. This is particularly valuable for workers in environments with low ceilings, confined spaces, or areas where there is risk of bumping your head on overhead obstacles. Common applications include vehicle maintenance, under-floor work, crawl spaces, and any setting where headroom is limited. The bump cap complements the steel toe protection to provide comprehensive safety coverage.
