The Caterpillar Holton SB Wide-Fit Safety Boots combine Caterpillar's renowned durability with essential safety protection and a comfortable wide-fit design for workers with broader feet. Certified to EN ISO 20345:2011 with SB HRO FO E SRC ratings, these boots provide steel toe cap protection alongside heat resistance to 300°C and fuel oil resistance, making them ideal for industrial environments, warehousing, and light construction work across the United Kingdom.
Designed specifically for workers with broader feet, the wide-fit design prevents the discomfort, pinching, and pressure points that standard safety boots often cause during long shifts. The Caterpillar Holton SB is perfect for workers who need reliable toe protection combined with specialist features like heat resistance and slip resistance, but don't require the full S3 rating with penetration-resistant midsole. This makes them an economical choice for environments where overhead protection is essential but underfoot hazards are minimal.
Featuring premium full-grain leather construction, these boots deliver the quality and longevity that Caterpillar is known for worldwide. The heat-resistant outsole makes them suitable for environments with hot surfaces including manufacturing facilities, automotive workshops, and industrial settings. With energy absorbing heel technology and superior slip resistance on both wet ceramic and steel surfaces, the Holton SB wide-fit safety boot provides dependable protection and all-day comfort for professional workers who demand practical, reliable footwear.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SB and S3 safety ratings?
The SB rating provides steel toe cap protection, antistatic properties, energy absorbing heel, heat resistance, and slip resistance, but does not include a penetration-resistant midsole or water-resistant upper that S3 boots have. SB boots like the Caterpillar Holton SB are ideal for environments where overhead protection is essential but underfoot hazards from sharp objects are minimal, making them a practical and economical choice for warehousing and light industrial work.
What does wide-fit mean for the Caterpillar Holton SB?
The wide-fit design of the Caterpillar Holton SB provides extra room specifically for workers with broader feet. This prevents the discomfort, pinching, and pressure points that standard safety boots often cause during long shifts, ensuring all-day comfort without compromising on safety protection or the quality Caterpillar is known for.
Are the Caterpillar Holton SB boots suitable for hot working environments?
Yes, the Caterpillar Holton SB features an HRO rating providing contact heat resistance up to 300°C. This makes them ideal for manufacturing facilities, automotive workshops, industrial settings with hot surfaces, and any environment where workers encounter elevated temperatures but don't require full waterproof construction.
What does FO rating mean and why is it important?
FO (Fuel Oil resistant) means the outsole is specifically formulated to resist degradation from fuel oils and petroleum products. This is essential for workers in automotive environments, mechanics, fuel depots, and industrial settings where contact with oils and fuels is common, ensuring the sole maintains its integrity and slip resistance over time.
Does the Caterpillar Holton SB run true to size in wide-fit?
The Caterpillar Holton SB wide-fit is designed to provide extra room for workers with broader feet while maintaining true-to-size length. If you typically wear wide-fit footwear or experience discomfort with standard safety boots, the Holton SB's wide-fit design should provide the comfortable fit you need without sizing up in length.
