Superior Materials
GORE-TEX®
GORE-TEX® fabric is as good as it gets when it comes to durably waterproof, breathable performance. In even the wettest conditions, GORE-TEX® fabric is engineered to keep moisture from getting inside the boot, yet is breathable at the same time and allows sweat to be transferred away from the foot and escape.
VIBRAM®
Most of our boots feature a VIBRAM® outsole made of 100% rubber which is slip and oil resistant, long wearing and easily resoleable.
The VIBRAM® Sierra outsole is designed to perform in diverse and rugged terrain. Exclusive VIBRAM® compounds guarantee good traction on both wet and dry surfaces.
The VIBRAM® FIRE & ICE™ outsole is designed for work in cold climates. The VIBRAM FIRE & ICE™ compound combines heat resistance of the VIBRAM® FIRE compound with the slip resistance of the VIBRAM® DRI-ICE compound, for an even higher level of performance and durability. The DRI-ICE compound helps prevent slippage in icy conditions while maintaining its flexibility in freezing temperatures. This premium outsole is ideal in cold, wet and icy conditions when superior traction is essential.
The VIBRAM® Chevron sole is designed for maximum slip resistance in demanding environments ranging from ship decks to asphalt tarmacs.

CORDURA®
1,000 denier CORDURA® nylon is a high-performance fabric designed to stand up to rough treatment, yet is remarkably lightweight and breathable. CORDURA® is resistant to abrasions, tears, and scuffs and is 2 x more durable than standard nylon, 3 x more durable than polyester and 10 x more durable than cotton duck.
THINSULATE™
This original "warmth without bulk" product was developed specifically for footwear. With its micro fibers trapping and holding body heat, THINSULATE™ maintains warmth even in damp conditions. Not only is it exceptionally thin, but is also extremely lightweight and durable.
NOMEX®
NOMEX® fiber material provides outstanding heat and flame resistance which cannot be washed out or worn away. NOMEX® offers not only thermal protection, but is exceptionally light weight too.
HIGH-CLEARANCE STEEL TOES
Each of our high clearance steel toes meet ASTM F2412-05 and F2413-05 standards. Design extras such as padding under and around the steel toe and our Flange-Anchored construction provide increased comfort and safety.
FULL GRAIN LEATHER
We only use the finest quality full-grain cattlehide leather in all of our boots. This durable leather is engineered for superior breathability and long lasting wear.
X-STATIC®
Made with pure silver, X-STATIC® silver coated fiber lining is designed to eliminate microbes, neutralize odor and regulate body temperature. The hotter and wetter an environment becomes, the more effective X-STATIC® becomes. X-STATIC® is also permanent and its performance does not diminish over time.
