Built to protect.

The #971 safety boots are packed with features including:

1. EXTREME APPLICATION SMELTER BOOT

Designed for smelter work with flame retardant leather, flame resistant toe scuff cap protection and compression resistant 8 point Ssoftherm® upper insulation against radiant heat.
Comprehensive internal testing and risk analysis should be completed prior to using these products, as site and operating conditions vary between locations.

2. RUBBER OUTSOLE—300°C HEAT RESISTANT

The outsole is heat resistant to temperatures up to at least 300°C and has a very high insulating value providing short term resistance to melting and cracks at higher than normal temperature ranges that may be encountered in an industrial environment.

3. KEVLAR STITCHING

Kevlar® stitching provides maximum strength and protection against metal splash and immersion.

4. METATARSAL PROTECTION

A non-intrusive metatarsal guard provides protection for the top of the foot against a common traumatic foot injury—fractures of the metatarsal bones.

5. ELECTRICAL HAZARD RESISTANT

Where there is a risk that a person may come in contact with a live electrical circuit, electrical shock hazard footwear will provide the best possible protection against electrical shock hazard.
This boot is certified to ASTM F2413-18. Clause 5.6 for electrical shock hazard resistance.

6. STEEL TOE CAP

Broad fitting Type 1 steel toe cap tested to resist a 200 joule impact. Steel is the safest toe cap material available, providing the highest level of resistance to impacts, punctures, cuts, and rolling side compression.
