SAFETY TOE BOOTS

All boots featuring a safety toe either steel or composite meet or exceed the falling IMPACT and COMPRESSION testing.

[I] IMPACT: Footwear retains a .500 inch (1/2 inch) for men’s and .468 inch (15/32 inch) for women’s or greater clearance after a nominal impact of 75 foot-pounds (101.7J), i.e., a 50 pound weight dropped, reaching 117.9 ± 2.4 inches per second velocity at impact.

[C] COMPRESSION: Footwear retains a .500 inch (1/2 inch) for men’s and .468 inch (15/32 inch) for women’s or greater clearance after a compression force of 2500 lbs. (11,121 N).

SLIP-RESISTING

Footwear is tested for ASTM F3445-21 industry criteria for slip-resisting footwear.

OIL-RESISTING

The outsole is designed to withstand or reduce damage due to oil.

ELECTRIC HAZARD

Constructed or manufactured with electric shock-resisting soles and heels capable of withstanding an application of 18,000 volts (root mean square (RMS) value) at 60 Hz for 1 minute, with no current flow or current leakage in excess of 1.0 milliamperes under dry conditions.
