Frequently Asked Questions
How warm is the 400g insulation?
400 grams is a mid-weight insulation, suited to cold, wintery conditions without the bulk of heavier winter-rated insulation.
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.
Is this boot actually waterproof?
Yes — genuine waterproof protection is built in.
What kind of toe does this boot have?
A roomy build with no safety cap, prioritizing comfort and warmth. Need impact protection in the same insulated, waterproof build? The 804-4520 offers a Nano safety toe version.
How does the 814-4520 fit?
It runs true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes, and choose Wide if you normally need an EE width. With 400g of insulation it runs warm, so try it on in the socks you work in; the Ultimate Shock Absorption inserts are removable.
How do I care for the 814-4520?
Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Crazy Horse leather is meant to scuff and darken, and conditioning keeps it supple without affecting the waterproofing.
