Product Safety Disclaimer

WildKing designs and sells a range of work, outdoor, and protective footwear intended to support different activities, environments, and workplace needs.

Because product construction, protective features, materials, and certifications may vary by model, customers should carefully review the specifications and safety information provided on each individual product page before purchase and use.

1. Product-Specific Safety Features

WildKing footwear may include features such as:

• Steel toe or composite toe protection
• Puncture-resistant midsoles
• Slip-resistant outsoles
• Oil-resistant outsoles
• Water-resistant or waterproof materials
• Reinforced uppers
• Shock-absorbing midsoles
• Ankle support
• Heat-resistant or abrasion-resistant materials
• Electrical hazard protection, where specifically stated
• Other occupational or outdoor protective features

Not every WildKing product includes every feature listed above.

Safety features, protection levels, and certifications vary by model.

Please refer to the individual product page for the specifications applicable to the product you are purchasing.

2. Safety Ratings & Certifications

Terms such as:

• Safety Shoes
• Work Shoes
• Steel Toe
• Anti-Smash
• Anti-Puncture
• Slip Resistant
• Indestructible
• Heavy Duty
• Protective Footwear

may describe product features or intended applications, but they should not automatically be interpreted as proof that a product meets a specific occupational safety standard.

Where a WildKing product has been tested or certified according to a recognized standard, the applicable certification or testing information will be stated on the relevant product page or supporting documentation.

Depending on the product and market, applicable standards may include recognized occupational footwear standards such as:

• EN ISO 20345
• ASTM F2413
• S1 / S1P / S2 / S3 classifications
• Other applicable regional or industry standards

A product should only be considered certified to a specific standard where that certification is explicitly stated for that particular product.

3. Workplace Requirements

Different workplaces, industries, employers, and countries may have different safety requirements.

Before using WildKing footwear in a professional or occupational environment, customers are responsible for confirming that the selected product is suitable for:

• Their specific job duties
• Their workplace conditions
• Employer safety policies
• Applicable occupational health and safety regulations
• Local legal requirements
• Required safety certifications

A product that is suitable for one workplace or activity may not be suitable for another.

If your employer requires a specific safety standard or certification, please verify that the exact WildKing model meets that requirement before use.

4. Protective Footwear Does Not Eliminate Risk

Protective footwear is designed to help reduce certain risks, but no footwear can eliminate all risks of injury.

The effectiveness of protective footwear may depend on factors including:

• The type and severity of the hazard
• The condition of the footwear
• Proper sizing and fit
• Correct use
• The working environment
• Wear and tear
• Exposure to chemicals, heat, water, sharp objects, heavy impacts, or other hazards

WildKing footwear should always be used together with appropriate workplace safety procedures and any other personal protective equipment required for the activity.

5. Steel Toe & Impact Protection

Where a product includes a steel toe, composite toe, or reinforced toe structure, the feature is intended to provide additional protection against certain impact or compression hazards.

However, protection levels vary by construction and certification.

Customers should not assume that all reinforced-toe footwear meets the same impact or compression standard.

Please review the specific product specifications and certification information before using the product in environments where certified toe protection is required.

6. Puncture-Resistant Footwear

Certain WildKing footwear may include puncture-resistant midsoles or reinforced sole structures designed to reduce the risk of penetration from sharp objects.

Puncture resistance does not mean that a shoe is completely puncture-proof.

Protection may vary depending on:

• The shape of the object
• The force of impact
• The angle of penetration
• Wear to the outsole or midsole
• Product construction
• The applicable testing standard

Always exercise appropriate caution in environments containing nails, metal debris, broken glass, or other sharp materials.

7. Slip-Resistant Footwear

Some WildKing footwear is designed with slip-resistant outsoles.

Slip resistance can vary depending on:

• Surface material
• Water
• Oil
• Grease
• Mud
• Ice
• Cleaning chemicals
• Dust
• Outsole wear
• Walking speed and movement

No footwear can guarantee that slipping or falling will never occur.

Customers should continue to follow proper workplace safety procedures and exercise caution on slippery or unstable surfaces.

8. Waterproof & Water-Resistant Products

Products described as waterproof or water-resistant are designed to provide a certain level of protection against moisture under normal intended use.

Performance may decrease over time due to:

• Wear
• Repeated flexing
• Damage
• Improper cleaning
• Prolonged immersion
• Deterioration of seams or coatings

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, waterproof or water-resistant footwear should not be treated as suitable for prolonged submersion.

9. Proper Fit & Sizing

Correct fit is important for both comfort and safety.

Footwear that is too loose, too tight, or otherwise improperly fitted may reduce stability, comfort, and protective performance.

Customers should consult the applicable WildKing Size & Fit Guide and the fit recommendations provided on individual product pages.

If you are between sizes or require footwear for a specific occupational application, please contact our customer service team before purchase.

10. Inspection Before Use

Customers should inspect protective footwear before each use.

Do not continue using footwear if you notice significant damage such as:

• Cracked or separated soles
• Damaged toe protection
• Excessive outsole wear
• Deep cuts or punctures
• Structural deformation
• Broken closures
• Damaged stitching
• Compromised waterproof layers
• Other conditions that may reduce protective performance

Protective footwear should be replaced when its safety-related components are damaged or excessively worn.

11. Care & Maintenance

Proper maintenance may help preserve the performance and lifespan of your footwear.

Customers should:

• Follow product-specific cleaning instructions
• Allow wet footwear to dry naturally
• Avoid excessive direct heat
• Avoid unauthorized modifications
• Avoid exposing footwear to chemicals not intended for the product
• Regularly inspect soles, uppers, stitching, closures, and protective components

Improper care may reduce the product's durability or protective performance.

12. Product Modifications

Customers should not modify safety or work footwear in ways that may affect its protective performance.

This includes:

• Removing protective components
• Drilling or cutting the footwear
• Altering the outsole
• Replacing safety components with unapproved alternatives
• Making structural modifications

WildKing cannot verify the continued protective performance of footwear after unauthorized modification.

13. Outdoor & Recreational Products

Some WildKing products are designed primarily for:

• Hiking
• Hunting
• Outdoor recreation
• Casual wear
• Fashion
• Travel
• General-purpose use

These products should not be assumed to meet occupational safety standards unless specifically stated on the product page.

Likewise, outdoor performance features do not necessarily mean that the product is certified for industrial, construction, warehouse, factory, or other regulated workplace environments.

14. Product Information & Updates

WildKing aims to provide accurate and up-to-date product descriptions, specifications, and safety information.

However, product materials, components, packaging, or specifications may occasionally be updated as part of product development.

Where a safety certification or performance standard is important for your intended use, please rely on the certification information provided for the exact product model and contact WildKing Customer Support if clarification is required.

15. Customer Responsibility

Customers are responsible for selecting footwear appropriate for their intended use.

Before purchasing or using work or safety footwear, customers should consider:

• The hazards present in their environment
• Employer requirements
• Local safety regulations
• Required certifications
• Footwear condition
• Correct fit
• Whether additional personal protective equipment is required

WildKing does not recommend using any product for an occupational hazard unless the product's stated specifications and certifications are appropriate for that use.

Nothing in this disclaimer is intended to exclude or limit any rights or protections that cannot legally be excluded under applicable consumer protection or product safety laws.

This disclaimer should be read together with our:

• Terms of Service
