Frequently Asked Questions
What does wide-fit mean for the Caterpillar Munising safety boot?
The wide-fit design of the Caterpillar Munising provides extra room throughout the boot, specifically in the toe box and midfoot areas. This construction is ideal for workers with broader feet who experience discomfort, pinching, or pressure points in standard-width safety footwear. The generous fit prevents the cramping and pain that can occur during long shifts whilst maintaining full safety protection and support.
Is the Caterpillar Munising fully waterproof?
Yes, the Caterpillar Munising features a waterproof membrane construction that keeps feet completely dry in wet working conditions. This makes it suitable for outdoor construction sites, environments with water exposure, and applications where workers encounter rain, puddles, or damp surfaces. The waterproof rating ensures reliable protection throughout the working day.
What does the HRO rating mean on this safety boot?
HRO (Heat Resistant Outsole) means the sole is tested and certified to resist contact heat up to 300°C. This protection is essential for workers in metalworking, welding, foundries, and construction environments where hot surfaces, molten metal splash, or high-temperature materials are present. The HRO rating ensures the sole will not melt, degrade, or lose integrity when exposed to extreme heat.
Does the Caterpillar Munising run true to size?
Yes, customer feedback and professional testing confirm the Caterpillar Munising runs true to size in its wide-fit specification. Workers should order their normal UK shoe size in the wide-fit version. The boot is designed to provide the extra width needed for broader feet whilst maintaining accurate length sizing. If you normally wear standard-width footwear comfortably, you may find this wide-fit design too roomy.
What safety features does the S3 rating include?
The S3 safety rating on the Caterpillar Munising includes comprehensive protection: a composite toe cap tested to 200 Joules impact and 15,000 Newtons compression, an antistatic sole, energy-absorbing heel with 20 Joules absorption, water-resistant upper, and a penetration-resistant steel midsole tested to 1100 Newtons. Additionally, this boot includes HRO heat resistance to 300°C, fuel oil resistance (FO), and SRA slip resistance, making it suitable for the most demanding industrial environments across the United Kingdom.
