Met Guard Protection Built In
The XRD internal met guard protects the top of the foot from crush injuries alongside the CarbonMAX composite toe, so the Alpha ft covers impact hazards across the whole forefoot without an external flap.
The Infinity System Underfoot
Wolverine's multi-layered Infinity System pairs a stabilizing Infinity Frame with zoned EnergyBound foam pads that compress and rebound, while DuraShocks in the outsole absorb initial impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does the Alpha ft W261059 meet?
It meets ASTM F2413-24 I/C EH Mt SR — the CarbonMAX composite toe covers impact and compression, the XRD internal met guard protects the top of the foot, and the boot carries EH protection and an SR slip-resistance rating.
What does the XRD met guard do?
It is an internal metatarsal guard that protects the top of the foot from crush injuries, built inside the boot rather than as an external flap.
Is the Alpha ft Met Guard waterproof?
Yes. Waterproof full-grain leather and a breathable waterproof membrane keep water out while the mesh lining wicks moisture away from the foot.
How does the Alpha ft Met Guard fit?
It fits true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes, and choose Extra Wide if you normally need a wide boot. The CarbonMAX toe has a lower profile than a traditional composite cap, and the dual-density PU footbed is removable.
What's the difference between the Alpha ft boots?
All are Wolverine Alpha ft waterproof work boots. The W261059 adds the XRD internal met guard to the 8-inch composite-toe build; the W251105 is the 8-inch composite toe without a met guard; the W250053 is an 8-inch soft toe; the W251108 is the Alpha ft Wellington.
How do I care for the Alpha ft Met Guard?
Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Conditioning keeps the full-grain leather supple without affecting the waterproof membrane. Cement construction is not resoleable, so rotate pairs to extend outsole life.
