Hobart square-toe geometry, no steel cap. The widest, lightest version of the Hobart line — square-toe last for toe-spread comfort, soft-toe construction for the lowest weight on the foot, and static-dissipative properties on top.
The product photo on Steel Blue lays it out: smooth black full-grain leather, distinctive square toe shape that's noticeably wider than the round-toe Hobart, beige twin pull tabs, lugged TPU Trisole® outsole. The differences from the safety square-toe (813941) aren't visible from the outside — the cap is internal — but the foot will feel them: about a quarter-pound lighter per boot, faster to break in, and approved for static-sensitive work areas.
For station crews, EMS, fueling areas, electronic-equipment-heavy work, or the off-duty wear that has to look the part of a real work boot.
What's in the boot
- Premium black full-grain cowhide leather upper, sourced from a Leather Working Group (LWG)–certified tannery
- Trisole® Comfort Technology outsole — TPU compound with strategically placed PORON® shock-absorption pads under your foot's peak-stress zones
- Ortho Rebound® molded footbed that conforms to your arch under load
- Slip resistance — exceeds the ASTM F3445-21 standard
- Non-conductive — secondary protection against accidental contact with live electrical currents (ASTM F2413 EH)
- Water-resistant finish on the leather upper (not waterproof — surface treatment that beads off light moisture)
- ADA Better Choices for Life participant — recognized by the American Diabetes Association for ortho-friendly construction
- 60-Day 100% Comfort Guarantee from Steel Blue — break them in, run a full shift, return for full refund if they don't work for your feet
What it's NOT
The Hobart is a station, duty, and crossover work boot. It is not certified to NFPA 1977 (wildland firefighting). If you need NFPA 1977 wildland boots for a Cal Fire kit list or red-card compliance, see our Wildland Fire Boots collection. The Hobart is the boot for the firehouse floor, the engine deck, EMS calls, and crossover off-duty wear — not the fire line.
How it fits
The Hobart runs true to size in our experience. If you're between sizes, size down a half. The elastic-sided slip-on construction means there's no lacing to fine-tune fit, so getting the right size matters more than on a lace-up.
Care
Wipe dirt with a damp cloth. Condition the leather monthly with a quality leather conditioner — these are full-grain leather and they'll last longer if you feed them. Air dry away from direct heat. Don't run them through a washing machine.
