Features
There are different features that come with each non-safety toe and safety toe boot. Some features include waterproof, non waterproof, insulated, puncture resistant, abrasion resistant, leather only, electrical hazard, metatarsal guard, slip resistant, oil resistant, heat resistant and anti-fatigue. Depending on your occupation the features may vary on what style of boot you want to get.
For example, if you’re on a road construction crew you may want to get a safety toe boot that is just leather only. The majority of road construction crews that purchase boots in the store get all leather boots with a safety toe and a flat bottom sole. This is because most of the road construction crews work in the hot summer heat. An all leather boot will breathe the best and keep your feet from overheating. The flat bottom sole is very comfortable if you are on your feet all day. To check out our selection of flat bottom wedge work boots CLICK HERE.
