Built for the harshest industrial conditions, the STC BLADE8 S29105-11 is a high-performance 8-inch safety boot engineered for maximum protection, all-day comfort, and advanced waterproofing. Designed with a waterproof full-grain leather upper and Sympatex® membrane, this model resists water, oil, and even pathogens—making it ideal for construction, maintenance, and utilities. The triple-density Vibram® Megagrip Pro outsole provides superior traction on slick surfaces including wet quarry tile and frosted ice, while the composite toe and plate offer full protection without the weight of metal. Whether navigating uneven terrain or enduring long shifts in cold and wet environments, this boot delivers stability, warmth, and durability when it matters most.

Key Features

Composite Toe and Plate – Metal-free protection against impact and punctures for lightweight security on any jobsite.
Sympatex® Waterproof Membrane – Ensures complete water resistance while allowing breathability and blocking pathogenic infiltration.
