Composite Safety Toe Cap
Lighter than steel, doesn’t transmit heat or cold, and exceeds NFPA standards for safety.

VIBRAM® Toe Bumper
Made from same rugged compound as the outsole for abrasion resistance when crawling.

Dual-Density Enhanced 3D Molded Footbed System

Removable dual-density footbeds are contoured to cradle and cushion the bottom of your feet and to

provide arch support. Urethane foam bottom layer provides durable cushioning while a micro-

cellular open-cell foam top layer delivers cool, all-day comfort. Moisture-wicking and anti-microbial

fabric top pulls moisture away from your feet. An additional set of polymer inserts are provided to

install under the footbeds when a snugger fit is desired.

3D Composite Lasting Board

Lasted to boot uppers with a built-in flex zone in the forefoot and a torsionally stable heel. Works

together with the footbed to conform to your foot’s shape.

Composite Shank

Lighter than steel, doesn’t transmit heat or cold, springs back to shape better.

Composite Puncture Protection

Far more flexible than a steel plate and doesn’t transmit heat or cold. Exceeds NFPA standards.

VIBRAM® Contoured Cup Outsole

Molded outsole wraps onto the leather upper for athletic shoe performance. Flame, abrasion, oil, acid

and slip-resistant compound engineered for high-traction and durability even during prolonged

exposure to extremes of heat and cold.

Athletic Footwear Construction

Two-part crosslinking adhesive bonds outsoles and the upper. Without stiff welts and ribbed mid-

soles, this attachment process is far more flexible.

Slip-Resistant Tread
Siping – thin slits cut into flat areas across the sole – opens up when flexed to provide additional

traction on water and ice. Self-cleaning lugs and omnidirectional tread pattern designed for superior

performance in all terrains and when working on ladders. Optional VIBRAM® ARCTIC GRIP PRO

Outsoles are available for even better slip resistance on wet ice.
