About this product
Athletic Comfort, Oxford Durability
Nothing slows you down — bad weather, tough jobs, or difficult terrain. This lightweight, waterproof Oxford hiker shoe takes you where you need to go with the comfort of an athletic shoe and the durability of a work shoe, providing exceptional grip and performance.
The leather and mesh upper is BBP (bloodborne pathogen) resistant as well as genuinely waterproof, and the composite safety toe protects without adding the weight of steel. A removable single-density polyurethane footbed keeps you comfortable all day.

A Lower Profile for Everyday Wear

Built for Bloodborne Pathogen Protection
BBP resistance makes this shoe a strong fit for EMS, law enforcement, and other roles where exposure to bodily fluids is a real jobsite risk, on top of genuine waterproofing.
