How we chose

Our team works with clients every day to test and wear this kit on real sites, and we listen to their feedback alongside what people say online and on review sites. We bring it all together so you get clear, honest information to pick the right product for you.

Using our supplier certification data, we screened the certified picks against EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024 (200 J toe cap). Slip resistance on ceramic tile is built into the 2022 categories, and SR means the sole also passed the harder ceramic tile and glycerine test; every category from S1 up adds a closed heel, antistatic sole (A) and energy-absorbing heel (E). We read the category, from S1P leather riggers to S5 all-polymer riggers with a penetration-resistant midsole, and extra codes CI (cold insulation) and FO (fuel-oil-resistant outsole). One PVC pick adds EN 13832-3 chemical resistance, and one is certified to the 2011 edition (S3 SRC).

Every pick is active and in stock, with clear photos and sizes available. Scores weight review quality (38%, a Bayesian average rating), review volume (17%), our product research (30%: trade bestseller signals, price against the market, colour range and verified standards), photo coverage (8%) and size availability (7%). We only show verified ratings and review counts, with links, we pick no more than two products per brand, and every review summary is written in our own words.

Buying guide

Pull-on convenience

Riggers slip on and off quickly, which suits work where you swap footwear often.

Lining

Fur or fleece linings keep feet warm in winter.

Fit

Riggers rely on a snug fit around the calf. Check the calf width and sizing.

Sole

Look for heat-resistant, slip-resistant soles if you work on hot or oily surfaces.

Frequently asked questions

Are rigger boots waterproof?

Leather riggers are water-resistant. For standing water, a safety wellington is better.

Do rigger boots give ankle support?

They are tall and cover the ankle, but the fit is looser than a laced boot.

Can I wear riggers all day?

Many people do. Thick socks and a good insole help.

How quickly will my order arrive?

Plain items usually arrive in 2–4 working days to Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Branded items take 7–10 working days. Every order also comes with 28-Day Returns.

Can you add our logo?

Yes. An uploaded logo has a one-off £9.99 setup fee, then £3.99 per position per garment. A text logo has no setup fee and is £3.99 per position per garment.
