Iron Age Groundbreaker External Metguard Steel Toe 8-Inch Work Boot

The Iron Age Groundbreaker External Metguard Steel Toe 8-Inch Work Boot is the ultimate choice for those who demand the best in rugged and reliable footwear. Whether you're working on a construction site, in a manufacturing facility, or in any other demanding field, these boots are designed to help you dig in and not let up all day long.

The upper of these boots is constructed using only the toughest part of the hide, full-grain brown leather, which is incredibly durable and resistant to wear and tear. The full-grain leather will also form a protective patina over time, rather than wearing out like treated leather, giving you years of wear that make the Groundbreaker a sound investment for the long haul. Additionally, the boots feature Goodyear welt construction, which means that the outsole is stitched to the upper rather than glued, in order to help prevent separation and allow for multiple resolings. The stitching is made of Kevlar, which is designed for heat-resistance making it less likely to ignite when hit by stray sparks.

When it comes to safety, the Groundbreaker features an external metguard and steel toe to protect your feet against heavy falling or rolling objects, both of which are ASTM F2413 certified for meeting all standards for safety footwear, to give you peace of mind. The boots also features a tough Vibram oil and heat-resistant outsole, engineered for protection against metal shards, chemical breakdown, and melting on hot surfaces, making them great for welder, metal or steel workers.

On the inside, the Groundbreaker features an EVA cushioned footbed with a spongey rubber heel for plush comfort that lasts your whole shift and then some. EVA is a material often found on high-performance athletic footwear, and is regarded for its shock-absorbing qualities. The boots also have a steel shank, which will help reduce added strain and fatigue to your knees and lower back, something you'll be thankful to have when you're standing for long periods of time.
