Munka

Munka is the newest Australian work boot brand to reach the UK — and BIG Boots UK is the exclusive UK importer. You won’t find Munka anywhere else in the country, and as the people who bring it in, we know the boots inside out.

Munka’s reputation is built on serious value: premium comfort features and genuine safety protection at a price that undercuts the bigger names. If you want a boot that performs like a £150 pair for around £99, this is the range to look at.

The Munka Taurus Side Zip

The Taurus is Munka’s flagship — a lightweight, great-looking S2 side-zip safety boot in premium nubuck leather, available in Black and Wheat. What customers rave about is the comfort straight out of the box: a Poron® insert footbed and cushioned PU midsole sit under a breathable, antibacterial and antimicrobial Coolmax sock lining that wicks moisture away and keeps feet fresh through a long shift.

On protection, it carries a 200J steel toe cap, a nitrile rubber outsole heat resistant to 300°C, a midfoot shank for stability, and anti-static properties — all certified to AS 2210.3:2019 Class I S2 SRC. And the standout: the Taurus is available all the way from UK 6 to UK 16, including half sizes, a genuine rarity in safety footwear and a real find if you’ve struggled to get large-size work boots that fit.

Why buy Munka from BIG Boots UK?

We’re a small, family-run business and the exclusive UK importer for Munka. Originally from Australia ourselves, we only stock boots we’d wear on our own feet — and the Taurus is one we genuinely recommend as a comfortable, better-value alternative to bigger-name boots. Every pair is genuine, fully warranted, and backed by people who actually use them. We offer fast UK delivery with express and next-day options at checkout, plus free exchanges if the fit isn’t right.

FAQs

Is Munka only available at BIG Boots UK?
Yes — we’re the exclusive UK importer for Munka, so this is the place to buy it in the UK.

What does the S2 rating mean?
S2 under EN ISO 20345 means a 200J protective toe cap, a water-resistant upper, anti-static protection and an energy-absorbing heel. The Taurus is also SRC slip-rated (the highest standard slip rating). Note S2 doesn’t include a penetration-resistant midsole — if you need underfoot protection from nails or sharps, look at an S3-rated boot.

Do you really stock up to a UK size 16?
Yes. The Taurus runs from UK 6 to UK 16 including half sizes — one of the widest ranges in UK safety footwear, and a genuine option if you have larger feet.

Do Munka boots need breaking in?
Most customers say no — the most common feedback is how comfortable the Taurus is straight out of the box, thanks to the Poron® footbed, cushioned PU midsole and soft Coolmax lining.
