Warmth for Cold-Weather Jobs
200 grams of Thinsulate™ and the waterproof SCUBALINER™ work together to keep feet warm and dry through cold, wet shifts, and the 16" shaft keeps mud, water, and debris out where an 8" or 10" boot would flood. Reflective strips add visibility in dim headings and winter yards.
Three Layers of Protection
A steel toe handles impact and compression at the front. Behind it, the D3O™ winged met guard covers the metatarsal bones on top of the foot and, because it is a soft polymer that hardens only on impact, flexes when you squat and kneel. Underfoot, a puncture-resisting insole stops nails and rock.
Union-Made to Last
Built in Matterhorn's Martinsburg, Pennsylvania factory on a Goodyear welt, the MT716 can be resoled rather than replaced as the outsole wears, and the TigerTip® toe resists abrasion at the point of the boot that takes the most punishment.
Why Choose the MT716?
A USA-made, waterproof, 200g-insulated steel-toe boot with a D3O™ met guard, puncture-resisting insole, EH rating, and 16" of coverage on a resoleable welt — the Matterhorn for deep, cold, wet work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does the MT716 meet?
A steel safety toe rated to ASTM F2413-18 for impact and compression, D3O™ internal metatarsal protection, a puncture-resisting insole, and an electrical hazard rating for secondary protection against live circuits.
How warm is 200 grams of Thinsulate™?
200 grams is the lightest insulation weight and the most versatile — enough to take the chill out of a cold, wet mine or a winter yard while you are moving, without the overheating a 400g or 600g boot brings to an active shift.
What is a D3O™ internal metguard, and how does it compare to an external guard?
D3O™ is an impact-absorbing polymer that stays soft and flexible in normal wear and stiffens instantly under impact. Built inside the boot over the instep, it protects the metatarsal bones without the bulk or squat-and-kneel discomfort of a hinged external plate.
Can the MT716 be resoled?
Yes. Goodyear welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than gluing it, so a cobbler can replace the sole as it wears and you keep the upper and met guard.
Why a 16" boot?
Coverage. Sixteen inches keeps muck, standing water, and debris out where a shorter boot would flood, and supports the calf on broken ground — the height mining and utility crews specify for deep, wet work. Tall socks help while the shaft softens around the calf.
How should a tall lace-up met-guard boot fit?
Size for a snug heel and room for the toes to spread inside the steel cap, which does not stretch, and allow for the heavier sock you will wear with an insulated boot. Lace the instep firmly so the internal met guard sits flat over the top of the foot.
