Iron Age Footwear Expands Line of Groundbreaker Met Guard Boots

Iron Age Footwear recently introduced two new models to its Groundbreaker work boot line.

The IA5011 adds extra puncture protection for scrapyards, fab shops, waste piles and floors littered with slag and sharp steel. Between a puncture-resistant plate and the Vibram high-heat rubber outsole, this boot can keep any foot unbroken from the sharpest and hottest surfaces. It also features welted construction, Kevlar high-abrasion stitching, and a tough steel toe. Even though this boot is extremely durable and tough on the outside, it comes with Iron Age’s premium custom memory foam Bootbed footbed.

The IA5019 expands Iron Age’s most popular metatarsal guard offering by showcasing the exclusive Cushguard™ Internal Metatarsal Comfort and Protection Foam in a 6-in. lace-up steel toe work boot. In combination with the welted Vibram high-heat rubber outsole and Kevlar stitching, the IA5019 is a serious boot that is truly unbreakable from any danger from below or above. Protection once again does not come at the cost of comfort with the memory foam Bootbed cushioning the bottom of the foot and the Cushguard snugging the top.

These models join three existing metatarsal work boots to complete the Groundbreaker series of work boots. With Iron Age’s innovations in comfort and protection for the metals-related industries, the Groundbreaker breaks ground, not feet, all while maximizing worker comfort. “I’m on my feet 12 hours a day on rough and oily surfaces, and the Groundbreakers are, out-of-the-box, the best boots I’ve ever owned,” shares Patrick, a metal fabricator from Southgate, Mich., who is one of many devoted Groundbreaker wearers. “Other guys in my line are already following along because they wear so well. These are absolutely our new go-to boots.”
