OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES:
Sole:
The nitrile rubber lug sole with self-cleaning tread is resistant to oil, fuel, heat, and acid.
Toe Protection System:
The Footwear has stainless steel toes and a rubber toe cap to provide
limited protection from puncture, crushing and abrasions.
Closure Systems:
Zip/lacing systems are included on some models. When properly fastened,
they reduce the amount of water that can enter the Footwear and prevent the Footwear from
coming open during fire fighting or hazardous material operations.
Removable Insole:
The anatomically formed absorbent insole can be removed to help promote
drying. It is also washable and/or replaceable.
Puncture Resistant Bottom Plate:
The Footwear has a flexible high-grade stainless steel plate
(Steel Midsole) to resist puncture and penetration.
Leather Back Straps/Pull-on Loops:
Provides a grasping mechanism to allow the user to
more easily pull the Footwear on.
Label:
Located on the inside of the lining, the label contains a statement indicating that the
Footwear was manufactured in compliance with the applicable NFPA Standards and contains
information regarding the date of manufacture, the serial number, and the name of the
