An officer holding a cordon is standing still, in the open, with things being thrown at them and burning liquid running across the ground. The YDS control public order boot answers that with a DDR injected sole system, providing 300°C heat resistance through the rubber outsole and air injected rubber midsole, and with seams that face downwards so petrol runs off the boot instead of tracking into the stitching. The upper is thick flame-retardant full grain leather with a cut resistant strip, and the laces and stitching are fire-retardant so the boot does not come apart at the point it is needed most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUnderfoot, toe and ankle protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteel toe caps and flexible midsole protection guard against crushing and against standing on debris, broken glass and nails, which is a routine hazard on ground that has already been fought over, and on the dangerous terrain officers are often deployed onto. A built-in ankle guard adds protection to one of the most exposed parts of the foot when officers are working shoulder to shoulder behind shields. For units that want the top of the foot covered as well, the boot can be specified with optional intelligent D3O® metatarsal protection, a material that stays flexible in normal wear and stiffens on impact. Chiltern Global also supplies a separate strap-on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chilternglobal.com\/products\/metatarsal-guard-one-size\" title=\"Metatarsal Guard\"\u003eMetatarsal Guard\u003c\/a\u003e that threads under the boot lacing, if you prefer to add that protection to boots already in service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat BS 7971-5: 2016 actually means\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBS 7971 is the British Standard series for protective clothing and equipment for use in violent situations and in training. Part 5 covers footwear. A boot certified to it has been assessed as suitable for public order and control and restraint duties, rather than simply being a work boot that happens to be black. If you are writing a specification, running a tender or replacing kit against a force standard, this is usually the clause that matters, and it is the reason a general purpose patrol boot will not pass. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho these boots are for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolice Support Units (PSU) and public order officers\u003c\/strong\u003e deployed to protests, football fixtures and public disorder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrison staff and control and restraint (C\u0026amp;R) teams\u003c\/strong\u003e needing certified footwear for training and for incidents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrisoner escort and custody teams\u003c\/strong\u003e working in environments where fire and sharps are a live risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilitary provost, guard force and internal security units\u003c\/strong\u003e with a crowd control role\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecurity and event teams\u003c\/strong\u003e working large crowds where standard safety boots are not enough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraining centres\u003c\/strong\u003e equipping instructors and students for petrol bomb and public order training.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a public order boot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA public order boot is footwear built for officers policing riots, protests and violent disorder. It is designed around fire, petrol, thrown missiles and debris underfoot rather than around general workplace hazards, and in the UK it is normally certified to BS 7971-5. A standard safety or patrol boot is not a substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo these come in a ladies fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. YDS lists this boot in a ladies range of UK 3 to 8 alongside the mens range of UK 4 to 15. Sizes are available to order, so if they are not showing as available to buy on this page, use the Request a Quote form and tell us the sizes you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy size is not showing as available. Can I still get it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Sizes in both ranges can be ordered even when they are not showing in stock on this page. Use the Request a Quote form, tell us the range and sizes, and we will come back to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these the same as YDS army patrol boots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. YDS makes several boots and the word patrol appears on more than one of them. The brown YDS Kestrel and Falcon boots are military patrol boots. This is the YDS control public order boot, a black leather riot boot certified to BS 7971-5: 2016, and it is a different product for a different job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo they have steel toe caps?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The boot has steel toe caps together with flexible midsole protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre they fire resistant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper is thick flame-retardant full grain leather, the laces and stitching are fire-retardant, and the DDR injected sole system provides 300°C heat resistance through the rubber outsole and air injected rubber midsole. The seams face downwards so petrol runs off the boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I buy these if I am not a serving officer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. These boots are not restricted equipment and can be bought directly from this page. Chiltern Global also supplies police forces, prison establishments, military and security organisations in volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you supply these in bulk to forces and establishments?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
