Steel Blue Men's Hobart 6" Steel Toe Waterproof Ankle Work Boot - Black - 812901
Crafted from Oak or Black colored, premium full-grain cowhide leather, the Hobart features a 200 Joule safety Steel Toe Cap (ErgoDefender™) for the ultimate protection. Known for being easy to put on and remove, this pull-on style is more suited to lighter-duty work that doesn't require additional ankle support.
The wider ErgoDefender™ Steel Toe Cap allows the toes to sit in a relaxed, natural position, reducing rubbing or pinching. The whole-body support of the Trisole technology cushions the feet, knees, hips, and lower back, while the supple leather settles in with no break-in period. Steel Blue positions the Hobart as a smart choice for people living with diabetes, thanks to this wider, more accommodating fit.
The tough TPU Outsole is heat resistant to 266°F, includes Electrical Hazard and Slip Resistant properties, and performs well in below-freezing conditions.
This style is available in Medium (M) and Wide (W) fit options. Steel Blue Hobart boots are independently certified to major international safety standards and the American Standard ASTM F2413.
