Iron Age Groundbreaker Men’s Brown 6″ Work Boot with External Met Guard (IA5017)

When the job demands more protection, the Iron Age Groundbreaker 6″ Work Boot with External Met Guard delivers toughness where you need it most. Built with a rugged full-grain brown leather upper and reinforced with an external metatarsal guard, this boot is ready for heavy-duty work environments where falling objects and impacts are a real risk. The steel safety toe provides reliable protection that meets ASTM F2413 safety standards, while electrical hazard (EH) protection adds a secondary layer of defense around live circuits and wires.

Comfort isn’t sacrificed for safety — the moisture-wicking nylon mesh lining keeps feet dry, and the BootBed™ dual-layer memory foam removable footbed delivers cushioned support throughout long workdays. A Vibram® heat-resistant rubber outsole offers exceptional traction and durability against heat, oil, abrasion, metal chips, and more, while Goodyear welt construction and Kevlar® stitching reinforce strength and longevity in tough conditions.
