FAQs – Dayrate

Fit & Performance

They fit true to standard European sizing — order your normal UK size. If you're between two sizes, go up for a bit more room on long shifts. You can also check our UK/EU/US Size Guide on the product page for a full reference.

Techforce boots are water-resistant, built to handle real UK site conditions:

Rain and wet concrete
Site splashes
Damp and muddy ground

They're not designed for prolonged submersion, but they handle whatever a standard shift throws at them.

Yes. Techforce is SRC rated — the highest slip resistance classification — with high-grip outsoles designed to give solid traction on:

Wet and oily surfaces
Smooth concrete and steel flooring
Uneven ground

Techforce is built for demanding real-world environments including:

Concrete, tiles, asphalt and hard flooring
Long shifts of 10,000–15,000+ steps
Heavy lifting and manual handling
Wet or greasy surfaces
Risk of dropped tools or materials
Sharp underfoot hazards

Suitable for construction, warehouses, logistics, utilities and trades. Indoor or outdoor — built for proper graft.

Yes. Techforce weighs just 460g per shoe — up to 45% lighter than many traditional steel-capped safety boots. Less weight on your feet means significantly less fatigue by the end of a long shift.

With heavy daily site use: 12–18 months. With moderate use: up to 2+ years. Longevity depends on the harshness of the environment and how well they're cared for. Rotating pairs significantly extends lifespan.
