Rocky: 6” Steel Toe Metatarsal Work Boot 8460 Rocky Outdoor Gear is a world leader in rugged outdoor and occupational footwear. The Rocky goal to provide quality outdoor and occupational footwear has not changed since the doors opened over 70 years ago. Most known for their outdoor boots, Rocky also has a wide array of boots in other categories including Rocky work boots, Rocky western boots, Rocky duty boots, and Rocky hiking boots. There have been many upgrades in technology over time allowing for better Rocky products. One of the most significant new introductions through the years has been the introduction of products with an extra wide steel toe cap such as used in Rocky 6” steel toe metatarsal work boot stock # 8460. This toe cap was made with a higher and wider design than traditional steel toe caps. This higher and wider design helped create steel toe footwear that exceeded the highest Protective Toe Footwear standards for Impact & Compression resistance by significant amounts. This has helped provide additional wearer safety from falling or rolling objects. Work boots with this steel toe cap have also been utilized by many people through the years who have wanted &/or physically needed more toe room than conventional steel toe caps provide. While this extra wide toe cap has continued to be a feature incorporated in various Rocky safety shoes through the years, the footwear products utilizing them have been able to be improved because of other advances in technology and materials. One style in particular utilizing the extra wide steel toe cap that Rocky has added to its safety shoe line has been the Rocky 6” external metatarsal work boot stock # 8460. In addition to the extra wide steel toe cap, Rocky stock # 8460 also has a supple upper leather. The tanning process performed by the leather tannery helps soften the leather lessening the break-in for the wearer. In addition to meeting the highest ASTM F2413-05 Impact & Compression standards, Rocky stock # 8460 also has an ASTM F2413-05 compliant external metatarsal guard to help provide extra protection to the instep area along with the toes. Rocky stock # 8460 also complies with its Electrical Hazard standards. This type of footwear is made with insulating bottoms providing secondary electrical hazard protection to those areas dealing with open circuits under dry conditions, but also can be worn in work areas requiring only basic protective toe footwear. If you are interested in a 8” style with these same features, please check out Rocky stock # G8465.
