Timberland Pro Work Boots & Shoes

Steel Toe are made with heavy-duty tempered steel that's then coated with epoxy to resist corrosion, these work boots ASTM impact and compression safety standards. The steel toe work boots are a classic for a reason. For years, steel safety toes have been the old tried and true method for protecting the feet of countless workers on the job. As far as straight impact protection resistance and shear resistance from grinders and chainsaws, steel safety toes offer maximum protection. In fact, most steel toe boots go as far as exceeding ASTM safety standards.

Alloy Safety Toe boots keep your feet protected with lightweight, military-grade aluminum all while meeting ASTM impact and compression safety standards. Alloy safety toe tend to be 30 to 50 percent lighter than steel toes. This means that you can move around freely with less weight attached to your feet.. However, alloy safety boots definitely cost more than steel toes and they will still set off that annoying metal detector at the airport or workplace.

Composite Toe work boots feature lightweight, non-metallic, non-magnetic toe caps, which meet ASTM impact and compression safety standards and are slower to conduct cold. A composite safety toe is made of non-metal materials like Kevlar, carbon fiber, plastic, or fiberglass. Some jobs might require you to pass through metal detectors if that's you, composite toe boots with non-metal hardware would be ideal. Since a composite toe cap does not contain metal, boots with comp toes are also much more comfortable when working outdoors. This is especially true when working outside in extreme conditions. Metal conducts heat, meaning your feet will feel colder in cold climates, and hotter in hot climates.
