Additional Information

• Non‑Metallic Protection: The composite Carbon Kevlar® toe and puncture plate protects without adding excessive weight or using metal components, which may be preferred by departments seeking reduced fatigue and improved flexibility.
• Extreme Temperature Performance: The Vibram® Fire and Ice outsole is specifically formulated to maintain traction and flexibility across a wide temperature range, from -20°C to +250°C, supporting performance in both cold-weather and high-heat fireground conditions.
• Cold Flexibility: The outsole is designed to remain flexible and provide traction at -23°C, which is important for operations in freezing environments where standard rubber compounds may stiffen.
• Ladder and Climbing Stability: The multi-ribbed reinforced steel ladder shank enhances stability when operating on ladders, rungs, and uneven surfaces, helping reduce foot fatigue during extended operations.
• Enhanced Visibility: High‑visibility yellow leather at the boot opening combined with 3M™ reflective piping improves visual recognition in low-light, smoke-filled, or nighttime conditions.
• Durability in High‑Wear Areas: The molded high-abrasion toe cap with raised 3D lugs is designed to exceed NFPA performance requirements and helps protect against premature wear during kneeling, crawling, and tool work.
• Thermal Protection: The 5.5 oz para‑aramid felt thermal lining provides thermal insulation while supporting breathability during prolonged interior firefighting operations.
• Fit Options: Offered in sizes 7–16, including half sizes, and available in Medium, Wide, and Extra Wide widths to accommodate a broad range of foot shapes and improve comfort during long shifts.
• Break‑In Expectations: Full‑grain leather construction may require a short break‑in period before achieving maximum comfort and flexibility.
• Waterproofing Method: Silicone‑tanned leather provides fire and water resistance
