Constructed with a full-grain leather upper and reinforced with Kevlar® stitching for exceptional durability, the Groundbreaker is built to withstand hard use day in and day out. The standout feature is the external met guard, engineered to help protect your metatarsals and upper foot from heavy impacts and crushing hazards—perfect for high-risk worksites.
Under the hood, the boot is equipped with a steel safety toe cap that meets ASTM F2413 safety standards for impact and compression protection, plus electrical hazard (EH) protection to help guard against live electrical currents on the job. Comfort comes from the moisture-wicking nylon mesh lining and an EVA-cushioned removable footbed with a sponge rubber heel wedge that helps reduce fatigue during long shifts.
The rugged rubber lug outsole delivers dependable traction and resists oil, slips, heat, chemicals, and abrasion, giving you confidence on a wide range of surfaces and conditions.
