Bubba Soft Toe
Hoss's Bubba toe box is cut wide and tall so the toes spread naturally — the roominess of a wide safety-toe shoe without the cap — and the action leather upper is light, flexible, and easy to keep clean.
Tested Slip Resistance, Wedge Comfort
The rubber outsole is rated to ASTM F3445, the tested slip-resistance standard, the full-contact wedge spreads weight on concrete, and the EVA midsole absorbs the shock of a shift on hard floors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does the Beta 50161 meet?
It is rated ASTM F2892-24 EH — electrical hazard protection on a soft-toe shoe with no protective cap — and the rubber outsole is rated ASTM F3445-21 for slip resistance.
How does the Beta fit?
It fits true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes. The Bubba toe box is roomy, so wide-footed wearers rarely need to size up.
Is the Beta waterproof?
It is a non-waterproof leather shoe; action leather sheds light moisture and wipes clean, but there is no waterproof membrane.
Is there metal in the 50161?
None — the Beta is 100% non-metallic, so it passes a screener and carries no cold into the foot.
What's the difference between the Beta and the McKee?
Both are Hoss soft-toe wedge work shoes with EH ratings. The Beta 50161 is a lace-up in black action leather with an EVA midsole; the McKee 50240 is a slip-on in brown full-grain leather.
How do I care for action leather?
Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth, let the shoe dry away from heat, and use a light conditioner occasionally — action leather needs less upkeep than full-grain.
