DEWALT APPRENTICE SAFETY BOOTS

The DEWALT Apprentice Safety Boots are a classic in the trade world, known for providing a high level of protection with a more traditional "hiker" aesthetic. While the Lima is the athletic cross-trainer, the Apprentice is the dependable all-rounder—offering a sturdier build that prioritizes ankle support and heat resistance for tougher environments.

Features

The Apprentice focuses on heavy-duty shielding while maintaining the flexibility needed for active work.

• Steel Toe Cap: Unlike the aluminum used in the Lima, the Apprentice features a high-grade steel toe cap tested to 200 Joules, offering maximum impact resistance for heavy-duty sites.
• Heat-Resistant Outsole: The phylon/rubber outsole is rated HRO, meaning it can withstand surface temperatures up to 300°C for 60 seconds—ideal for hot work or asphalt.
• Full-Grain Nubuck Leather: A high-quality leather upper provides a balance of natural durability, water resistance (on specific models), and a classic professional look.
• Antibacterial Footbed: Includes a dual-density antibacterial insole designed to manage moisture and odor during long, hot shifts.
• TPU Heel Support: An integrated TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) system cradles the heel, providing additional stability on uneven terrain.

Applications

The Apprentice is built for versatility across more demanding sectors where traditional leather protection is preferred:

• General Construction: The go-to choice for site work where falling objects and heavy materials are a constant risk.
• Maintenance & Facilities: Excellent for engineers who move between different environments, from oily plant rooms to outdoor grounds.
• Trades & Fit-outs: Perfect for electricians, plumbers, and carpenters who need a boot that can handle the grit of a first-fix site.
• Hot Work Environments: Because of the heat-resistant sole, these are well-suited for workers near hot machinery or materials.
