Safety and Comfort, Without the Trade-Off
We're proud to introduce the Genesis Collection 8″ Nano Safety Toe Waterproof boot — designed to keep you light on your feet while staying safe in any work environment. 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. Waterproofing with a water evacuation channel in the outsole keeps wet socks and blisters a thing of the past, and the Nano Safety Toe keeps you protected while leaving more room for your toes.
