Men's lined boots

To ensure uncompromising safety in demanding working conditions, discover our range of safety boots designed to combine comfort and durability. Professionals will appreciate the superior quality of our leather safety boots, while our S3 safety boots provide reinforced protection against mechanical risks. For the toughest environments, S5 safety boots are ideal thanks to their increased resistance to penetration and water, ensuring maximum safety and protection.

In very cold weather, feet are often overlooked due to a lack of suitable equipment to protect them from low temperatures. Yet they are particularly sensitive and must be protected properly. For men, wearing lined winter boots is recommended, whether in a professional context or for everyday use. They provide the protection and comfort you need so you can get through winter more comfortably. Oxwork highlights below the key points to know about the different types of lined boots.

Lined men’s boots: thermal protection and safety for winter

Lined men’s boots are essential equipment to maintain both safety and comfort for workers during the winter season. These protective shoes combine effective thermal insulation with compliance to safety standards, ensuring optimal protection against cold and job-related risks.

Safety standards and classifications for lined boots

Regulations distinguish two main categories depending on the work environment and the level of risk.

Lined work boots (EN 20347)

These models meet the basic OB requirements: slip-resistant soles, abrasion resistance and flex resistance. The S1 to S3 classifications add specific protection features depending on the needs of the job.

Lined safety boots (EN 20345)

Equipped with a protective toecap resistant to 200 joules, these boots also feature the CI (Cold Insulation) marking for insulation against cold. The S1P, S3 and S5 classifications offer increasing levels of protection.

Technical features of professional lined boots

The performance of Oxwork equipment is based on several technical components specifically designed for cold environments.

Thermal insulation and lining

The lined interior, made from synthetic or natural materials, helps maintain body temperature even in sub-zero conditions. This insulation meets CI standards and provides protection down to –17 °C.

Waterproofing and resistance

Outer materials such as treated leather or technical polymers provide protection against moisture and splashes. SRC-rated soles ensure grip on slippery surfaces.

Selection criteria when buying lined boots

The choice of professional lined boots should be based on a precise analysis of working conditions and identified risks.

Assessment of thermal risks

Determine the minimum exposure temperature and the duration of outdoor tasks. Models with CI marking offer suitable protection for environments ranging from –10 °C to –17 °C.

Compatibility with the job

Evaluate the mechanical constraints: risk of falling objects (S1P/S3 toecap), contact with hot surfaces (HRO), or exposure to hydrocarbons (chemical resistance).

Maintenance and durability of the equipment

The lifespan of lined safety boots depends directly on how they are maintained and on the conditions of use.

Care and cleaning routine

Clean them regularly with suitable products for leather or work shoes made from synthetic materials. Allow them to dry at room temperature to preserve the integrity of the lining.

Regular inspection

Check the condition of the soles, the integrity of the toecap and any signs of deformation. Replace the boots as soon as you notice wear that could compromise safety.

Frequently asked questions about lined men’s boots

Here are answers to the most common questions about this type of personal protective equipment.

What is the difference between S3 and S5 lined boots?

S3 boots provide protection against penetration and water, making them suitable for wet environments. S5 models add full waterproofing and are designed for very wet or muddy conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

As with all safety shoes, measure your feet at the end of the day while wearing your usual work socks. Leave about 1 cm of space between your longest toe and the front of the boot to ensure comfort and proper blood circulation.

Are lined boots compatible with orthopaedic insoles?

Most professional models can be worn with custom insoles. Check the depth of the boot and remove the original insole if necessary.

What is the typical lifespan of professional lined boots?

Under intensive use, you can expect them to last around 6 to 12 months depending on the conditions. Alternating between two or more pairs significantly extends the lifespan of each pair.
