Dry, Safe, Comfortable — and Good Looking Too
The Genesis Collection 6″ Nano Safety Toe Waterproof boot is designed to keep your feet dry, safe, and comfortable. A durable Chestnut full-grain leather upper pairs with a narrower heel for stability and a wider oblique toe box for added comfort.
The nitrile rubber outsole delivers exceptional slip, heat, oil, and chemical resistance, paired with a soft PU midsole and pedorthist-designed insole. It's completely waterproof with a water evacuation channel built into the outsole, and the whole boot is built lightweight to keep you quick on your feet.
