Rigger Boots

A rigger boot is a type of heavy-duty safety footwear in the boot segment.  This work boot is able to provide protection, durability, and comfort for individuals working in various industrial and outdoor settings. These boots are not only popular in construction sites but mining, oil and gas, and other rugged environments also.  In these areas’ workers need footwear that can withstand demanding conditions.

Main features of rigger boots

Design – Rigger shoes normally have a slip-on design with pull loops or tabs at the front and back of the boot shaft.  This facility is for easy put on and take off, especially when workers need fast action in changing their footwear.

Sturdy Construction – Construction of the boots is with durable materials such as leather or synthetic materials resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and other hazards commonly existing in tougher work sites.

Steel Toe – Most of the rigger boots come with a steel toe cap to protect the toes from cut, crushing or compression.  This is an extra layer of safety for workers who may have exposure to falling objects and or potential crushing chances.

Sturdy Sole – The sole of a rigger boot is often thick and sturdy.  This is to provide good traction on uneven surfaces and protection against punctures and sharp and penetrating objects.

Superior Insulation – Many such boots have a design with insulation and warmth, making them useful for cold weather conditions.

Comfort – Despite their heavy-duty nature, many such boots design features comfortable wearing and well support to feet.  For making this possible, a superior insole with cushion and adaptive designs will be there.

Also, according to different regions and safety standards prevailing, certifications of safety conformity will vary.
