DEWALT Men's Akron Side Zip Steel Toe Safety Boot

Product Information

If money’s no object and you’re in need of a do-everything work boot, you owe it to yourself to give DeWalt’s Titanium line a look. For starters, Camden’s steel toe actually exceeds the American ATSM standards, and will effectively guard your feet against all manner of kinetic damage. In fact, this is the best grade of leather for any purpose, as it makes use of the entire animal skin. This doesn’t mean they wear out quickly, only that people are comfortable enough to spend decades of their lives protected within one of DeWalt’s best safety boots. They’re not as durable, and it’s less cost-effective to have a cobbler replace cemented soles that are past their prime.

Tradies can spend long hours crouching to complete tasks like measuring, finishing skirts, fitting pipes or fixing cables. We dropped everything from steel bar, brick and large chunks of timber onto the toe area of the boot without making a dent or feeling any sizable impacts. You’ll also love the moisture-wicking inner lining, which you can remove to air out, wash, or replace as needed to refresh your boot after a hot, sweaty day.
