The Hoffman 8a ^2 Composite Toe Classic Men's Leather Work Boot is the latest design within the Mountaineer style lineman boots. The boot features a one piece seamless leather vamp with no stitching to come undone around the foot area. An added rubber rand around the boot protects the upper from abrasion and other wear. A waterproof Sympatec membrane helps keep water while allowing the boot to breath. A solid Vibram sole provides long time wear and a taller heel to accommodate a good gaff fit. The unique dual shank system provides unsurpassed arch support while climbing and a sturdy nylon midsole offers lateral stability that surpasses other line boots. If you're a lineman, arborist or cable installer, try a pair of these new Composite Toe Classics.
