DEFINING THE STANDARD IN WORK BOOTS

Everything we make is overbuilt to the highest standard, aka Special Forces Standards, and remains unmatched in the industry. Special Forces Standards means that our buddies must be able to take this gear to war, where life or death depends on their gear functioning. This level of attention to every little detail is why we don’t just meet the standard, but we SET the standard in making the world's toughest work boots.

Introducing the new MACV-2™ Safety Boot, which takes inspiration from our Special Forces MACV series with some added features: a composite toe, a Dyneema puncture-resistant sole, an extra padded perforated foam upper for all-day comfort, plus a curved side zipper. They are ASTM-certified and built for those who live hard on their feet and work even harder. Tested and proven by Special Forces, firefighters, welders, and more. The MACV-2™ Safety Boot gives you all the comfort, durability, and protection you need in the harshest work environments and the high quality you’d expect from our footwear.

Features

ASTM APPROVED AND CERTIFIED

The MACV-2 Safety Boot was built to help you work in any environment. We’ve put our boots to the test and they officially meet ASTM F2412 / F2413 requirements for Impact (I), Compression (C), Electrical Hazard Resistance (EH), and Puncture Resistance (PR).

COMPOSITE TOE

The Safety Boot’s composite toe is built to provide you with both, impact and compression protection. It provides the same protection as a steel toe, but with additional benefits such as being lighter and not conducting heat, cold, or electricity.

DYNEEMA PUNCTURE-RESISTANT SOLE

We built a Dyneema lined sole to ensure the Safety Boot is puncture-resistant, aka nail-proof.

PERFORATED FOAM PADDED UPPER

The upper is constructed from materials that improve with time, enhanced by additional padding. This will give you all-day comfort while staying lightweight, breathable, and will protect you against minor hits and scuffs.

AGGRESSIVE TRIPLE COMPOUND OUTSOLE

Each section of the triple compound rubber outsole is designed to perform a specific function. The forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip with a deep tread specifically shaped to grab the ground while shedding mud and debris. It wraps around the toes for additional protection against rocky terrain or when doing push-ups. The midfoot is formulated from a rock climbing compound and hardened for exceptional abrasion resistance — ideal for fast roping. The heel is denser and formulated for extreme durability with an expanded heel strike area that won't break down over time or distance.

RUGGED MIDSOLE

The new Safety Boot is built with the MACV-2™ midsole. The design wraps around the entire upper providing significantly more stability and maximum support. Support you need for your feet so they’re not smoked after being on your feet all day, regardless of what you’re doing. Support is foundational to the Safety Boots — great for those who demand a lot of their feet. The relationship between the EVA midsole and the rubber outsole matters greatly to the performance of the boot.

NO BREAK-IN TIME

They're ready when you are, right out of the box.

WIDE TOE BOX

Generous forefoot area lets your toes breathe. Over time and distance during any activity including rucking or traveling, your feet will swell. This extra space reduces the friction that can occur if your feet rub against the insides of your boot.

13MM HEEL-TO-TOE DROP

The ideal heel-to-toe drop for walking around and working on your feet all day. A 13mm offset reduces the strain on your achilles (and by proxy your ankle, knees, and hips) and helps to accommodate a natural gait in an unnatural world of asphalt and man-made surfaces.

PROUDLY NOT WATERPROOF

If rain, sweat, or streams, get in a waterproof boot there is nowhere for it to go. They keep sand and debris out and repel moisture with every step. They expel water with old-fashioned technology that just works - with every step, you push the water out the side of the boot.

PREMIUM UPPER MATERIALS

Hard-wearing suede that only gets better with time and use. Paired with 1000D CORDURA® and 2" nylon webbing for added ankle support - debris and rain are kept out while your feet can still breathe.

ANKLE SUPPORT

Suitable for airborne operations they maintain stability and support on uneven ground. Here's how this works. The 2" webbing is sewn into the heel counter. When you lace your boots up with your ankle locked into the heel, the heel counter and the 2" webbing do not pull forward - this is by design. But as you tighten them, this process locks your heel down and shifts the freedom of flex to the forefoot. Which is where it should be.

SUEDE INJECTION MOLDED HEEL COUNTER

Premium suede wraps a supportive, injection molded plastic heel counter. This combo stabilizes your heel, while the suede prevents the friction that leads to hotspots and blisters.

6MM LACES

We built the Safety Boot with 6MM laces. They are the best suited for a work boot like this. They look and feel sturdy to match the durability of the boot.

DUAL-DENSITY INSERT

Our custom insert uses a dual-layered compression foam system that supports your entire foot from heel to toe - including contoured arch support for all 3 of your arches- throughout your entire foot strike.
