Mining Boots & Underground Footwear

I'm a Leading Hand looking after on average around 300 refrigerated containers with a intermodal. Probably walk around 18 miles a day ( up down stairs, ladders ). In over 1/4 century in this job these boots are the best my ol feet have ever worn. Comfortable, warm, waterproof 😌 Certainly a blessing for myself. Personally great boots for someone always on their ol feet 👍🏻

3rd pair of work boots I've purchased from Stitchkraft. There the best. Thank you.
I'm a commercial Roof plumber; construction industry

First ordered a Sander Boa but the size is wrong and didn't like the cushion (not enough for me) because I'm suffering from sciatica. Returned it last Thursday ( May 1). Requested a replacement of another model which was the Miles Boa, and just delivered today. Put it on straight away and oh guys the cushioning and it's a perfect fit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Elten boots.

As a long term wearer of the Elten boot range, I opted to do a remeasure of my feet for this purchase and went down a size for a snug fit. I have found personally this was a good move so far (and have combined with the SensiCare high arch supports for my feet), where previously over time the ankle support on the slightly larger size allowed too much roll within the boot as the leather relaxed. The comfort of the boot keeps me coming back, including most importantly to me, the give through the mid sole. Unfortunately my work (as a concrete repair and flooring contractor) trashes the boots quite quickly with usually the toe guard wearing through in the first instance as a lot of time is spent on the hands and knees. The body holds up well, the soles usually get gummed up with epoxy and other products again making them unsafe relative to my work - this would happen with any boot I wear. There is no wear in required for these boots and the comfort level, light weight, and build quality will impress you if you haven't tried them before. I haven't found anything that matches them in the marketplace so far. The price point might make you hesitate but I would say give some love to your feet, you only have one set!

Perfect boots for working in the civil electrical industry as we’re constantly having to deal with different terrains and weather conditions these boots allow me to get inside pits with water in without having to go change to gum boots 🙌🏾🙌🏾and I can walk through mud and water up to 200mm

Leather perfect stitching perfect sole the best turning knob exceptionally creative happy comfortable working boot

I have to say that I’m extremely pleased with my new boots. Out of the box and straight to working 12 hour shifts in 40C in the harsh conditions of the WA Pilbara and my feet are loving it. The boots are a perfect fit and comfort plus. I watch my other colleagues struggling with there new work boots, with blisters, ache and pains, limping and changing back to there old boots. You shouldn't have to break in new boots. Do yourself a favour and give Stitchkraft a go.♥️♥️♥️ picture is of the boots after only 4 days, its tough country!

I really like these boots. I have been on a long search for work boots that tick the following boxes: a good fit; easy to take off; durable. These definitely tick the first two boxes and I'll have to wait to see about the third. They are light and comfortable and the Boa system works very well.

Quality, good looking boots. Nice and light. Impressed with the BOA lace system. Happy with my purchase.
After seeing mine. A work mate is about to get some.

These shoes are like a skate board shoe, however the internal construction gives a lot more arch support. They are pretty generous in the width in standard sizing. The mid sole is pretty rigid. The sole tread pattern and hardness won't suit every surface for grip, however mine aren't worn in much at this stage. The BOA lace system makes putting on and taking off a breeze. For me personally these are a backup and yard shoe and not a daily wear, preferring full ankle boots for site work. If you're used to sneaker style safety shoes you will like these for comfort, feel, and weight. If your a rigger or a roofer may not be the best choice for grip due to the hard tread.

Best boots I ever owned, the quick release laces gives you the convenience of a slip on boot with the feel of a lace up boot. I install kitchens and need to work on my knees a lot when fitting off, these boots allow for toe bend. where with some steel toe boots it was painful to have a toe bend and work in that kneeling position.

Most comfortable safety shoe I’ve ever had (also most expensive) and the extra height a bonus for me. Heel is nice and soft but I always find toe area a bit firm possibly due to cap. I would like a safety shoe as soft as sketchers Thongs, Maybe that’s not possible. I give 4 stars on the basis 5 stars would be perfect.

I extensively researched the elten brand and boa lacing system before deciding to make the purchase, I usually buy Thomas Cook rigger boots, but due to change in circumstances have no need for the riggers anymore. Firstly stitchkraft were prompt to answer any questions I had they were polite, professional and courteous with their replies, I added express post to my order and had them in 3 days from Vic to FNQ couldn't been happier with the service I received. The shoes lite compared to what I'm use to wearing day in day out, they honestly one of the most comfortable work boots I've ever worn the soles absorb so much compared to my other work boots, they fit and finish is second to none. I did notice for first few days of wearing them I was adjusting the boa lacing system but after few days everything seems to have settled in fine, the boots don't sweat like my old ones would which is great because at the end of the day with my rigger boots my feet would be saturated all in all I'm very impressed with the Miles boa ankle work boot and will be buying another pair for my son's.

“Behold, the marvel of my new work boots! They are as light as a feather, yet they wrap my feet in a tender embrace that feels like a snug handshake from the universe itself. These boots defy gravity and logic, making each step a surreal dance of comfort and agility. They fit so perfectly that I suspect they were crafted by shoemaking wizards who channel the whispers of the wind.

Wearing these boots is like wearing a piece of my soul on my feet, as if they were molded from my dreams of the perfect work boots. They are the finest example of footwear engineering that the sane world has ever seen. In fact, they’ve made me question the sanity of all other footwear choices I’ve ever made. These boots, my friends, are the key to transcending the mundane and stepping into the realm of extraordinary work boot experiences. In the realm of boots, these are the mad geniuses of the industry, and I am their delighted disciple.”

Excellent quality, easy on and off with the BOA system. Light weight and super comfortable. Sized down as per the recommendation, very happy.
