For those of you who do not climb much yet still need a safety toe boot, the 6a ^2 single shank Steel Toe EH Rated San Ramon Meindl Men's Leather Work Boot fits the bill. The German made Meindl boot has a very supportive upper that provides excellent ankle support and stability. A waterproof bootie helps insure dryness and a removable insole adds cushion to your every step. A durable Vibram style lug sole provides traction and long time wear. Easy to break in, the 6 Inch Meindl Boot is ideal for those looking for a comfortable ground boot with a waterproof liner. Although waterproof liner failure is rare in the construction of this boot, neither Hoffman's nor Meindl will warranty the waterproofness of this boot. Order 1/2 size smaller than usual.
