Work Boots

Style F

Boots extend above the ankle to provide more coverage than shoes. All are water resistant.

Style F

Style F have an upper foot guard, also known as a metatarsal guard, that protects the top of your foot as well as a steel toe for safety. They also have a reinforced midsole that guards against punctures when working around sharp objects, such as glass, nails, and scrap metal. Their skid-resistant soles grip wet and slippery surfaces for good traction. These boots are made from PVC, which resists oil.

Safety Toe—Boots with a safety toe meet ASTM F2413 standards for protection against impact and compression.

14" High—14" high boots cover most of the calf.

Foot Guards

Aluminum Foot Guard

Lace these guards into the shoelaces of your steel-toe shoes for full foot protection from rolling, falling, or projectile hazards. All meet ASTM F2413 for 75 ft.-lbf. of impact resistance. Also known as metatarsal guards.

Impact Resistance—To calculate impact, multiply the object’s weight in pounds by the distance it falls in feet. For example, guards rated 75 ft.-lbf. can absorb the force of a 15 lb. object dropped from 5 ft.

Rayon Fabric—Rayon provides good radiant-heat protection as well as moderate spark protection.

Carbon Fiber/Kevlar Fabric—Carbon Fiber/Kevlar Fabric is a heavyweight fabric that lasts longer than rayon. It holds up in higher temperatures than rayon while providing excellent abrasion and cut resistance.
