Matterhorn Men's Maximus 2.0 8" Composite Toe Waterproof Metguard Puncture Resistant Work Boot — Brown — MTC300
The Matterhorn Maximus 2.0 8" Met Guard Composite Toe Waterproof Work Boot is a high-quality work boot designed for rugged use in demanding work environments. The boot is constructed with a Brown Crazy Horse leather upper with abrasion-resistant leather overlays and a molded rubber abrasion toe for added protection against wear and tear.
Key Features of the Matterhorn MTC300
-
Composite Safety Toe Cap — Non-metallic protection meeting ASTM F2413-18 for impact and compression, with reduced cold transfer.
-
D3O® Winged Internal Metguard — A flexible, low-profile impact-absorbing polymer over the top of the foot that stiffens on impact.
-
Non-Metallic Puncture Resisting Insole — Guards against sharp debris underfoot without adding weight.
-
Non-Metallic Shank — No steel anywhere in the boot's structure.
-
Waterproof SCUBALINER™ — Carolina's proprietary waterproof lining system keeps feet dry all shift long.
-
Electrical Hazard Rated — Tested to withstand 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage.
-
Molded Rubber Abrasion Toe and Leather Overlays — Reinforce the upper against scuffing and wear.
-
OVERTIME Comfort System — Dual-density footbed with a memory-foam top layer, over a high-rebound EVA midsole.
-
Heel Stabilizer — Controls heel roll on sloped or uneven terrain.
-
3/4 Welt & Cement Construction — Welt stitching through the forefoot with a cemented heel section.
-
Oil-Resisting Heavy-Duty Rubber Outsole with ICE Toe & Heel — High-abrasion rubber at the two points that wear out first.
Built to Handle Rugged Conditions
The Brown Crazy Horse leather upper is reinforced with abrasion-resistant leather overlays and a molded rubber abrasion toe, so the Maximus 2.0 stands up to scraping against machinery, lumber, and rough terrain. A heel stabilizer adds structure underfoot, while the 3/4 welt and cement construction keeps the boot flexible without sacrificing durability.
Full Protection, No Steel
Composite toe, D3O® met guard, non-metallic puncture-resisting insole, and non-metallic shank: the MTC300 covers impact, metatarsal, puncture, and electrical hazards with nothing steel in its structure. That keeps it lighter and warmer at the toe than a steel-plated equivalent.
Comfort That Keeps Up With Long Shifts
The OVERTIME Comfort System's dual-density footbed and a high-rebound EVA midsole keep this boot comfortable through a full workday. The D3O® Winged Internal Metguard adds impact protection across the top of the foot without the bulk of a rigid external guard, and the oil-resisting outsole with ICE toe and heel keeps traction solid on slick or oily surfaces.
Why Choose the MTC300?
A waterproof, fully non-metallic 8" logger with an ASTM-rated composite toe, a D3O® met guard, a puncture-resisting insole, and an EH rating — the most fully protected Maximus 2.0, for mining, oil and gas, and heavy industrial work.
Similar Styles to Consider
Don't need metatarsal or puncture protection? The MT2560 is the same Maximus 2.0 platform as a standard composite-toe waterproof logger.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does the Maximus 2.0 MTC300 meet?
A composite safety toe rated to ASTM F2413-18 for impact and compression, D3O® metatarsal protection, a non-metallic puncture-resisting insole, and an electrical hazard rating tested to 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage.
What is a D3O® internal metguard, and how does it compare to an external guard?
D3O® is an impact-absorbing polymer that stays soft and flexible in normal wear and stiffens instantly under impact. Built inside the boot in a winged shape over the instep, it protects the metatarsal bones without the bulk or squat-and-kneel discomfort of a hinged external plate.
Is the MTC300 completely non-metallic?
Yes. The composite toe, non-metallic puncture-resisting insole, and non-metallic shank mean there is no steel in the boot's structure — lighter and warmer at the toe than a steel build.
What is 3/4 welt and cement construction?
The welt is stitched through roughly the front three-quarters of the boot, with the heel section cemented. You get welt strength and flexibility through the forefoot where the boot actually flexes, with a simpler, lighter build at the heel.
How should a met-guard logger fit?
Size for a snug heel and room for the toes to spread inside the composite cap, which does not stretch. Lace the instep firmly so the internal met guard sits flat over the top of the foot; the OVERTIME footbed lifts out if you run your own orthotic.
What's the difference between the MTC300 and the MT2560?
Both are Maximus 2.0 boots. The MT2560 is the standard 8" waterproof composite-toe logger with a triple-rib steel shank. The MTC300 adds a winged D3O® internal met guard, a non-metallic puncture-resisting insole, and a non-metallic shank.
