DEWALT Akron Side Zip Steel Toe Safety Boot

DeWalt is a titan of heavy industrial gear, and their safety boots are well-regarded as such. Whether you need the maximum amount of protection, with steel toes and midsoles, or something lightweight to withstand miles of walking, climbing, and lifting, DeWalt safety boots make the cut. Not every boot has a gusset, but those that do typically employ them as moisture barriers, which connect the tongue to the shaft.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. A relative newcomer to the scene, Titanium is part of the Heritage Series, which makes its mark by never cutting corners on design, materials, or production.

As one of the best-selling safety boots on the market, DeWalt’s Titanium has plenty of people to vouch for their performance in the field. The consensus is that they’re easy to wear in, and extremely sturdy without being too heavy (just 2.4kg). Polyurethane is an organic polymer, and a common alternative to EVA midsoles. Unlike its softer counterpart, PU retains no shape memory, and doesn’t really compress much. While this is a less comfortable, less cushioning material, it’s far more durable. TPU Be aware that the toe cap isn’t as spacious as some may like, so keep this in mind when choosing your safety boot. If you’ve got wide feet, it is recommended to size up, as DeWalt’s Builder is a bit narrow at the toes. The primary advantages are enhanced electrical resistance, greater thermal insulation, and invisibility to metal detectors. Of course, TPU also makes for a much lighter, more walkable boot for those of you who need to hoof it several miles per day.That’s not to say DeWalt doesn’t spare a thought for aesthetics, as their Rigger boots sport rugged good looks that wear hard. Featuring a brown, full-grain leather upper, joined by a rubber outsole, the rigger offers coverage and resistance to oil and chemical exposure. The Goodyear welt makes it simple to replace the soles once they’ve worn out, allowing you to get a lot more life out of those high-quality uppers.
