Overview The Mongrel 240090 is a 200J steel toe safety dealer boot in premium full-grain leather — one of the newest Mongrels to reach the UK. It brings the comfort and classic looks of Mongrel’s Chelsea-cut elastic-sided range together with the protection of a 200J steel toe cap and electrical hazard resistance, so you get an easy-on, pull-on boot that’s genuinely site-ready. Like the K9, it’s made from quality full-grain leather that moulds to your feet and gets more comfortable the more you wear it. Its Chelsea-cut upper and V-Cut leather design contour to the natural shape of your foot from the very first wear, making it more comfortable out of the box than most boots on the market. The classic Australian elastic-sided design is timeless — equally at home on the farm, on site or in everyday use — and a shock-absorbing ToughSider sole with an OrthoTec® Air footbed adds support, arch cushioning and comfort underfoot. A proud addition to our range of Australian boot brands: Mongrel is a multi-generational family business crafting footwear in Australia since the 1930s. We’ve visited the Mongrel factory in Sydney ourselves and seen first-hand the quality and care that go into every pair. Don’t need a steel toe?

The electrical hazard resistance makes it worth a look for electricians and anyone working around live circuits. And because it’s built on an EEE mould, it’s an especially good option if you have a wider foot and struggle to find a comfortable fit. Sizing & fit These are built on a wide EEE last, so they suit wider feet well. Note that half sizes are wider, not longer — so if you’re between sizes, the half size gives you extra width rather than length. Available in UK 5–14. If the fit isn’t right, we offer free exchanges. How to look after them Treat the leather with a quality wax such as Mongrel Boot Wax to protect against moisture and keep the full-grain leather conditioned and looking its best.

Originally from Australia ourselves, we know these brands inside out and only stock boots we’d wear on our own feet — we’ve even visited the Mongrel factory in person. Every pair is genuine and backed by people who actually wear them. FAQs Does the Mongrel 240090 have a steel toe?Yes. It has a 200J impact-resistant steel toe cap for protection — unlike the non-safety 916030 and 940030 dealer boots — while keeping the same easy-on Chelsea-cut design and wide EEE fit. Is it suitable for electrical work?The 240090 is electrical hazard resistant, which offers a degree of protection against contact with live electrical circuits. As always with EH footwear, it’s a secondary safeguard rather than a substitute for safe working practice — check it meets your site’s specific requirements. What safety rating does it carry?It’s a 200J steel toe safety boot and is electrical hazard resistant. For the full EN ISO 20345 certification and letter-rating, please check the label inside the boot — or contact us at [email protected] and we’ll confirm the specific rating for your workplace before you order. How does the fit compare to a standard boot?It’s built on a wide EEE last, so it runs wider than a standard-width boot — ideal if you have a broader foot. Half sizes add width rather than length. What is a dealer boot?A dealer boot (also called a Chelsea work boot) is a pull-on, elastic-sided boot with no laces and no zip. Stretchy gussets on each side let you pull it on and off easily while keeping it secure on the foot. The 240090 adds a 200J steel toe to that classic design. How do I look after the leather?Treat it with a quality leather wax such as Mongrel Boot Wax to protect against moisture and keep it conditioned.
