Whether you’re working on the farm, visiting a building site, or tackling outdoor jobs in all weather, choosing the right pair of work boots is essential — and with decades of experience in country clothing and footwear, A Farley Country Attire is here to offer expert guidance on what really matters: comfort, safety, and performance.
From Ariat’s advanced safety technology to Hoggs of Fife’s traditional craftsmanship, our boots are built for people who expect their footwear to perform as hard as they do.
Comfort That Lasts the Longest Days
If you’re on your feet for hours, comfort isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. That’s why our bestselling work boots combine modern comfort systems with practical design and premium materials.
The Ariat Groundbreaker Chelsea Waterproof Steel Toe Work Boot is a customer favourite, designed with Ariat’s 4LR™ technology for cushioning and stability that reduces fatigue throughout the day. Its All Day Cushioning insole keeps your feet supported from start to finish, while the easy pull-on Chelsea style saves time when you’re in and out of the house, vehicle, or workshop.
For those who prefer a more traditional style, the Hoggs of Fife Shire Dealer Boot delivers a classic fit with a removable cushioned insole and a flexible design that allows for natural movement. It’s a long-standing favourite among farmers for good reason — supportive, sturdy, and built for long hours in the yard.
Safety You Can Depend On
Work environments vary, and so do safety standards. Whether you need full EN ISO 20345 S3 protection or something more specific to your trade, our range covers every requirement.
- Steel toe caps guard against heavy impact.
- Slip- and oil-resistant outsoles provide confident footing on wet or uneven surfaces.
- Waterproof membranes keep feet dry in all conditions.
- Puncture-resistant midsoles protect from sharp debris underfoot.
- Heat-resistant soles (HRO) withstand contact temperatures up to 300 °C in certain models.
For maximum protection, the Groundbreaker Chelsea meets the full EN ISO 20345 S3 HRO SRC standard — meaning certified protection from impact, slips, punctures, and heat.
If you don’t need that full S3 HRO specification but still want dependable safety, the Ariat Treadfast Chelsea Work Bootis a superb alternative. It features a steel toe cap, Duratread™ outsole, and Waterproof PRO™ construction, all tested to meet EN ISO 20345 S3 SRC standards. It’s ideal for trades, farm work, and general outdoor use — combining strength and comfort for everyday wear.
Waterproof, Weather-Ready & Built to Last
In the British countryside, waterproofing is essential. Both Ariat and Hoggs of Fife boots excel in keeping feet dry without sacrificing breathability.
- Ariat’s DRYShield™ and Waterproof PRO™ constructions block out moisture while allowing airflow.
- Hoggs of Fife’s H-Tex membrane is fully waterproof yet breathable, ideal for long days in wet or muddy fields.
Durability comes from the details: full-grain or waxed leathers, reinforced stitching, strong pull-on loops, and rugged soles designed to handle rough terrain. The Hoggs Shire Dealer Boot even features a textured elasticated gusset for improved flexibility and fit — practical touches that make a difference.
