Built for long days on your feet, this 6-inch lace-up work boot combines premium full-grain distressed brown leather with a waterproof membrane to keep you comfortable in wet conditions. The wide-profile Ergo-Defender™ steel toe cap provides certified ASTM F2413 protection, including Electrical Hazard resistance, while the padded scalloped collar supports natural movement throughout the day. Underfoot, Steel Blue’s Trisole® Comfort Technology uses energy-absorbing PORON® pads and a shock-absorbing polyurethane midsole to help reduce fatigue, while the TPU outsole delivers durable slip resistance and reliable performance on demanding worksites.

This is my second pair of these boots. They are by far the most comfortable boots i've ever worn. My first pair , I didn't buy the waterproof version...Still awesome boots. I've been wearing those for 2 years. And they take a beating! These I'm saving for a while til I squeeze all the life outta the first pair. Might be a while...lol. I bought 10 wide and they fit perfect. Can't go wrong with, "Steel Blue"!!!
I'm a lifetime buyer.
