12" WESTERN WORK BOOT (SAFETY TOE)

The alloy safety toe is the argument for this 12" western work boot: aluminum and titanium, as strong as steel and 30% to 50% lighter, impact resistant, compression resistant, oil and slip resistant and electrical hazard compliant. It meets or exceeds the ANSI standard ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C EH.

Around it, a full-grain leather upper runs to a 12" shaft with taped interior seams and an air-mesh lining, so the height does not turn into heat. A double-stitched storm welt closes the join. The pull holes are reinforced. CellStretch technology places cells in the forefoot and the heel for cushioning, and a Blend85 footbed sits on top of that. The outsole is molded rubber, EH-rated, and built to resist oil and slips. Toe shape is square, the heel is a block, and the colour is distressed saddle and peacock.

This reads western from the outside and industrial from the inside, which is the whole point of the category. It suits anyone who moves between a yard and a truck all day without wanting to change footwear to do it. The distressed finish is forgiving; the height is not, so give the shaft a week or so to settle in.
