Carhartt Ground Force 8-Inch Black 400G Composite Toe PR Work Boot

The Carhartt Ground Force is a tough, comfortable, and protective 8-inch work boot chock full of awesome features including waterproofing, insulation, composite safety toe, and puncture-resistant plate to keep you working without worry.

With a black oil-tanned leather upper, the Ground Force is offers a highly efficient, long-wearing construction. Oil-tanned leather is very soft and pliable due to the processing it receives, resulting in reduced break-in time and more flexibility for a better, more comfortable fit right out of the box. Additionally, it tends require less maintenance than standard leather boots, meaning that you can spare more time between reconditionings without fear that your boots are going to start falling apart. This rock-solid design is bolstered by a molded rubber toe bumper and abrasion-resistant rubber heel, which adds an extra line of defense to both the work boot and your foot when walking over rough terrain or kicking things out of your way.

Mother Nature doesn't take days off, but neither does the Ground Force. A Storm Defender waterproof breathable membrane effectively locks water out while allowing moisture to escape, keeping your feet dry and comfortable while helping to reduce the occurrence of painful heat blisters in the process. If you expect to be outside for long periods of time in extreme cold weather conditions, this winter work boot is packed with 400 grams of Thinsulate to ensure that your feet remain toasty warm.

In the way of safety, the Ground Force covers all the bases. A composite safety toe grants you a lightweight and flexible yet protective alternative to steel that also won't conduct heat, cold, or electricity. Next there's a Swen Flex puncture-resistant plate, which is also non-metallic and thus more flexible, lightweight and non-conductive like traditional plates yet offers substantially better protection than the traditional steel PR plate against nails, shrapnel, and any other kind of sharp object that could cause injury if you walk across it. The metal-free construction of this work boot is supplemented by electrical hazard protection that's up to snuff with both ASTM and Canadian Standards Association requirements, so you can work in safety around live wires and other such threats. Lastly, a Ground Force rubber outsole provides you with ultimate grip, traction, and flexibility to help prevent slip and falls whereever your day takes you.
