Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of toe does the Baldor have?
It has a steel safety toe that meets ASTM F2413 impact and compression standards, plus an EH rating for electrical environments.
How does the Baldor handle moisture?
The black oiled full-grain leather is naturally water-resistant and will shed light moisture, but this is not a waterproof boot — it has no waterproof membrane. If you need to stay dry in wet conditions, the Paladin 8" Steel Toe Waterproof Logger (73101) is a waterproof option.
What is the Vibram® 360 T Plus outsole good for?
Its wide, aggressive lugs give strong grip and stability on uneven terrain, and the compound is built for high-heat environments while staying oil- and slip-resistant.
Can the Baldor be resoled?
Yes, its Goodyear® leather welt construction allows the boot to be resoled, extending its working life.
How does the Baldor 73020 fit?
It runs true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes, and choose Wide if you normally need an EE width. Steel toes fit slightly closer than composite, and the logger heel breaks in over the first week; the insole is removable.
How do I care for the Baldor?
Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Black oiled leather takes a black conditioner well; Goodyear leather welt construction means a cobbler can resole it.
