Metatarsal Protection That Moves With You
The metatarsal guard sits outside the boot over the instep — the bones between your ankle and toes that a safety toe does not cover. Built with Anti-Fatigue Technology and FLEX, it bends when you squat or kneel instead of digging into the top of the foot, which is the usual complaint about rigid met guards. It is the protection welders, foundry workers, and anyone handling heavy stock overhead are asked to wear.
The Most Protected Boondock
Composite toe and met guard up front, a non-metallic puncture-resistant plate underfoot, an EH-rated sole, an external heel cup, and a waterproof full-grain upper — with the toe, plate, and shank all non-metallic, so the boot stays lighter and warmer than a steel-plated equivalent.
Why Choose the TB0A66G7EDW?
A waterproof, EH-rated, puncture-resistant composite-toe Boondock with a flexible external met guard — the pick when your site requires metatarsal protection and your work involves heavy stock, uneven ground, or wet conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a metatarsal guard protect?
The metatarsal bones on top of the foot, between the ankle and the toes — the area a safety toe does not cover. Met guards are required on sites where heavy objects can drop onto the instep: foundries, steel fabrication, heavy-equipment work, and many welding and utility jobs.
What safety standards does the Boondock TB0A66G7EDW meet?
An ASTM F2413-rated composite safety toe, an external Anti-Fatigue Technology metatarsal guard, a non-metallic puncture-resistant plate, and electrical hazard protection.
Why an external flexible guard rather than a rigid one?
An external guard takes the impact on the outside of the boot, so nothing is driven into the foot. Building it with Anti-Fatigue Technology and FLEX lets it bend when you squat or kneel, which is where rigid external guards become uncomfortable.
Is there any metal in this boot?
The toe is composite, the puncture plate is non-metallic, and the shank is fiberglass, so the boot's structure is non-metallic — lighter and warmer at the toe than a steel build.
Does the Boondock run true to size?
The Boondock is built on Timberland's TiTAN® last, which most owners find true to size with a roomy toe box. Order the size you wear in athletic shoes; the external met guard does not change the interior fit, and ExoSpine™ holds the heel down.
Is the Boondock met guard insulated?
The TB0A66G7EDW is a waterproof, uninsulated three-season boot. For cold-weather work, the Boondock 8" TB189628214 adds 600 grams of Thermolite® on the same platform without the met guard.
