A Wider Fit Designed for Comfort
The wide-profile ErgoDefender™ Steel Toe Cap lets your toes sit naturally rather than being pinched into a narrow point, which is why Steel Blue positions this style as a good option for sensitive feet or people managing diabetes. It's a design feature, not a medical device, so it's worth talking with your podiatrist or physician about what footwear is right for your specific needs.
Static Dissipative, Not Electrical Hazard
This style is rated Static Dissipative (SD), meaning it helps prevent the buildup of static electricity by dissipating it through the sole, useful in environments sensitive to static discharge. That's a different rating from Electrical Hazard (EH) footwear, and the two aren't combined on this boot.
