Comfort That Works Overtime
Machinists, pipe fitters, and many more know that your feet often end up in the worst spots on the shop floor. Caliper MET takes one of Danner's hardest-working boots and adds valuable mid-foot protection. But avoiding injury doesn't have to come at the cost of comfort — the boot's waterproof, full-grain leather upper rests on four layers of cushioning through the footbed to midsole, making Caliper MET supportive underfoot with plenty of protection from above.
