About this product
Ready to Respond to Any Call
When you clock in, you never know how the shift will unfold. That's why you need waterproof, durable, lightweight, and flexible boots to respond to any call. The GEN-flex2® dual-density rubber outsole with multi-directional traction lugs guarantees a superior grip and resistance to oil and slick surfaces.
The BBP X-Stream Waterproof™ lining also protects against dangerous fluids. Your feet can take a pounding without fatigue or injury thanks to the Impact 300 gel heel insert. Goodyear storm welt construction and a heavy-duty YKK zipper with Velcro® closure mean these side zip boots will withstand daily wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this boot be resoled?
Yes. Goodyear storm welt construction means the upper is stitched to the welt rather than glued, so it can be resoled multiple times instead of replaced.
What does BBP mean?
Bloodborne pathogen resistant — the boot is built to resist exposure to bodily fluids, a feature relevant for EMS, law enforcement, and similar roles.
Is this boot actually waterproof?
Yes — the BBP X-Stream Waterproof™ lining keeps your feet dry.
How does the side zipper work?
A heavy-duty YKK zipper with a Velcro® closure gives you quick, secure on-and-off access when time matters.
Does the Station 834-7991 have a safety toe?
It is a soft-toe duty boot with no ASTM F2413 toe rating — built for law enforcement, EMS, and security work, with a bloodborne-pathogen-resistant waterproof lining.
How does the Station fit?
It runs true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes, and choose Wide if you normally need an EE width. The side zipper makes the 8-inch shaft easy to get into, and the polyurethane footbed is removable.
