Steel Blue boots have comfort and whole-body wellness in their DNA. From the inception of the company each boot was carefully crafted to be comfortable and functional. No detail was too small when it came to the advanced technology used in designing and manufacturing the boots. From the wider toe box, ErgoDefender™, allowing the toes to sit in a relaxed natural position so there is no rubbing or pinching to avoid unwanted foot sores. To the whole-body support of the Trisole technology, providing the vital foundation supporting cushioning your feet, knees, hips, and lower back from day-to-day fatigue. The supple leather allows feet to settle in with no break-in period. Steel Blue boots are the a smart choice for someone living with diabetes.

The Argyle Zip safety boot is a 6-inch Men’s lace-up ankle boot that is 100% Comfort Guaranteed.

• ErgoDefender™ (Steel Toe Cap) – allows toes to sit in a relaxed natural position so that there is no pinching, burning or rubbing.
• Trisole technology – provides a vital foundation that supports the whole body cushioning your feet, knees, hips and lower back from day-to-day fatigue.
• No Break-In Period – the durable, yet supple leather assists with less break-in time, making our work boots comfortable from day one.
• Padded collar and tongue – offering all day comfort.
• Water Resistant – the premium leather is treated during the tanning process to repel water from the surface, allowing feet to stay dry and comfortable in damp conditions.
• Lining – made from a soft, non-abrasive, hydrophobic material, the lining wicks perspiration away from the foot, enabling the skin to remain cool and dry.
