Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of toe does the 73100 have?
It has a soft (non-safety) toe with no ASTM F2413 toe rating, for a flexible, roomy fit; it does carry EH electrical hazard protection. If you need a protective toe, the Paladin 8" Steel Toe Waterproof Logger (73101) is the safety-toe version.
Is the Paladin 73100 waterproof?
Yes, a waterproof breathable membrane paired with full-grain leather is built to keep water out through damp, wet outdoor work.
Is the 73100 insulated?
This is a non-insulated logger, which makes it a comfortable choice for milder weather and year-round wear. If you need cold-weather warmth, the Paladin 8" Steel Toe 400G Insulated (73060) offers 400g of Thinsulate™.
What is the raised logger heel for?
The raised heel is a classic logger feature that adds arch support and shock absorption, and helps with footing when climbing or working on uneven terrain.
How does the Paladin 73100 fit?
It runs true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes, and choose Wide if you normally need an EE width. The soft toe leaves the forefoot roomy, the logger heel breaks in over the first week, and the orthotic insole is removable.
How do I care for the Paladin?
Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Goodyear leather welt construction means a cobbler can resole it when the Vibram outsole wears.
