Wesley Reichman's boots face a tough daily challenge: 8-12 hours of paint, chemicals, and concrete. He's now taking the high road with his internal met HIGH RIDGE Iron Age boots. "They last a really long time. These have held together when all my other shoes have fallen apart. The paint doesn't seem to be eating at these, so I'm real happy." We're happy that Wesley's happy. Take the high road and get tough versus paints and chemicals with some High Ridge Iron Age boots: https://ironagefootwear.com/ia5730-highridge.
At Iron Age, we spend lots of time with the toughest workers in the nation - at their jobsites, factories, and plants. We understand that they are the ones who know what they need in a tough boot. So, we watch, listen, and design with their input, help, and testing - at every phase of our work boot development, including on how we can enhance our existing models. We don't go in selling; we go in asking for them to challenge and criticize, in hopes that we continually improve our designs. Today at McCann Concrete in Dorsey, Illinois, our prototypes were again challenged by some tough workers. We do all of this so that any tough worker can rest assured that they are wearing a tough-tried boot, pounded and buffeted in harsh environments before we even go to production.
The crew at Keltner Excavation have been haulin' dirt for a long time all around Southwest Missouri. They attack the ground, forming and molding it for impressive buildings and utilities, on a daily basis. And they spend plenty of time in the ditch. They are real tough on boots. Recently, they've been testin' our Iron Age Hauler Work Boots. They had never heard of the brand before, but they are big fans now! "I kept 'em on 10 hours the first day without my feet hurtin'. I've never had that with a boot," shared Buck Keltner, the owner of Keltner and 30-plus year excavator.

Iron Age Footwear is proud to be partnering with Skills USA South Carolina to reward and encourage future OLD SCHOOL TOUGH tradesworkers. Look at these tough students in action - the toughest from the Palmetto State competing it out in Greenville this weekend. 
It seems like the TOUGHEST workers that we meet are the ones that at one time or another didn't wear protective-toe boots, and then there was that toe-impactful event that has now become part of their lore. And now, all of 'em wear boots that take the toughest impact. Hey, tough doesn't equal stupid.
Don't be stupid. Get a pair of TOUGH protective-toe boots here: https://ironagefootwear.com/iron-age
