Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of toe does the 73050 have?
It has a steel safety toe that meets ASTM F2413 impact and compression standards, plus an EH rating for electrical environments.
Is the Paladin 73050 waterproof and insulated?
Yes to both, a waterproof breathable membrane with full-grain leather keeps feet dry, and 400g of 3M Thinsulate™ Ultra keeps them warm in cold conditions.
How warm is the 400g Thinsulate™?
400 grams is a versatile cold-weather weight, enough to keep feet warm through cold, damp conditions and active outdoor work, without overheating during steady movement.
How does the 73050 compare to the other Paladin loggers?
The 73050 is the waterproof, 400g-insulated steel-toe Paladin in black. For milder weather there's the non-insulated 73101 (brown), and the same insulated build is also available in brown as the 73060.
How does the Paladin 73050 fit?
It runs true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes, and choose Wide if you normally need an EE width. Steel toes fit slightly closer than composite, and the logger heel breaks in over the first week; the orthotic insole is removable.
How do I care for the Paladin?
Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Goodyear leather welt construction means a cobbler can resole it when the Vibram outsole wears.
