Frequently Asked Questions

Are safety boots VAT exempt?

Safety boots are not exempt from VAT, but they are zero-rated under specific conditions. Individuals buying for personal industrial use can purchase them without VAT, but employers buying for employees must pay VAT, though a VAT-registered company can reclaim it. For the zero-rating to apply, the boots must be specifically for industrial use, which is why motorcycle boots are not eligible.

Are safety boots good for hiking?

Safety boots can be used for hiking, but they’re not always the best choice. They offer strong protection, ankle support, and slip-resistant soles great for rugged terrain but they’re usually heavier and less flexible than hiking boots. If you’re going on short or work-related hikes, they’ll do fine, but for long distance or steep trails, dedicated hiking boots like your QUIVE Hi-Trek 3.0 Combat Shoes Trekking Boots are better suited, as they’re designed for comfort, grip, and endurance.

Are safety boots true to size?

Safety boots are generally true to size, but sometimes they run a bit big to allow room for thick socks and foot swelling during a long day. With QUIVE safety boots, it’s best to try your usual size first; if you plan to wear heavy socks or insoles, you might want to size down slightly or check our size guide to ensure a snug, safe fit.

Are safety boots steel toe?

No, not all safety boots are steel-toe; "safety boot" is a general term for any boot with a reinforced toe cap, while steel-toe is a specific type of safety boot. Other types of safety boots use composite materials like fiberglass, carbon fiber, or plastic, which are often lighter and do not set off metal detectors. The choice between steel and composite depends on factors like job requirements, comfort, and environment.

Are safety boots comfortable?

Yes, modern safety boots can be comfortable, especially when they are the right fit and have features like proper cushioning, arch support, and breathability. The key to finding comfortable safety boots is to prioritize a good fit and look for specific technologies that provide shock absorption, support, and moisture-wicking capabilities.

How safety boots?

Safety boots protect your feet from various hazards like falling objects, punctures, and slips by using features like a protective toe cap and slip-resistant soles. They also offer support, protection from chemicals and electricity, and can improve posture. The right safety boot depends on your work environment, and it's crucial to ensure a snug, pain-free fit by trying on both boots and walking around before buying.
