The FS7 has a durable steel toe cap, and unlike the Holtons, there is extensive mid-sole support here. The lacing structure reduces pressure points on the ankle but offers the required support at the same time. But their strength doesn’t make the Scruffs Twisters uncomfortable. Far from it, in fact. Thanks to the PU sole that merges into rubber, these are some of the lightest work boots available in the UK. And the comfort they offer is elevated even further thanks to the padded tongue and upper part of the boot. Price-wise, they compare to the likes of the DeWalt Apprentice and the Apache Safety, so they’re a lot cheaper than many of the other top work boots out there.

If you’re looking for a good set of women’s work boots with ankle support, there’s a good chance you don’t have the budget to buy the CAT Holton. If that’s the case, your next best bet is the Amblers FS7.These men’s workboots are so lightweight and slimline, there’s a good chance they’ll be mistaken for trainers. But on top of the sleek aesthetics, you’ll also get plenty of protection, like a steel toe cap that’s S3-rated. What’s more, these work boots come with a durable midsole that’s reinforced to guard your foot. The cushioned leather uppers and sports-style inner sole mean these are some of the most comfortable steel toe work boots in the UK right now. And, unlike other durable safety boots, you won’t need to break these ones in. Just like a pair of trainers, you’ll get no rub, straight out of the box. S1P rated steel toe boots are made from more durable materials and feature closed seat regions. They offer all the protection of the SBP rated boots, but with added electrical resistance, and energy absorption. Popular S1P rated boots in our range include the Noble, and the Gravity rigger boots. If you work on construction projects with countless hazards, you need to think beyond comfort and look for work boots with the maximum possible protection.

Durability-wise, these work boots will give you a sole that’s pierce-, slip,- and heat-resistant; simply put — these boots will last. SBP rated steel toe boots have been tested to ensure that the reinforced toe can withstand 200J impact and 15kN compression force. On top of that, the penetration resistant outsole has been tested at 1,100N. Popular SBP rated boots in our range include the Twister, the Monsoon, and the Oxygen. Firstly, they’re breathable — you shouldn’t perspire in these boots, even if you’re working in them all day (if you do, there’s an anti-bacterial sole). This means your steel toe work boots are nice and fresh even at the end of an exhausting, sweaty work week.

The 100% leather upper on the Holton boots is flexible, but it does offer additional ankle support (being higher than most) in comparison to your average trade boots. Comfort is further amplified thanks to the Flex sole and padded tongue and collar. If you have ankle problems, or work on rough terrain where it’s easy to twist or roll your ankle, you’ll be much more comfortable in these boots than any others.
