What happened?
An operatives foot was struck by an industrial dock leveller.
As we can see from the picture below, tore into the FORCE10® TPU Scuff Cap and made deep abrasions into the leather.
“The damage came from an industrial dock leveller, if it hadn’t been for the protection supplied by this boot the operative would have lost some of his toes.
The guy just wanted me to pass on how good the boots are.”
