Is the carbon fiber toe as protective as steel?

Yes. Carbon fiber composite toes meet the same ASTM impact and compression standards as steel, at less weight. They also do not transmit cold the way steel does.

Are these boots waterproof?

No. The ripstop and leather upper is not sealed, so water will soak through in wet conditions. The bellows tongue keeps out debris, not water.

Do they run true to size?

Most buyers find them true to length but narrow. If you wear wide widths or thick socks, size up or look for a wide version.

What is the electrical hazard rating for?

EH-rated footwear reduces the risk of contact with live circuits underfoot. It is not a substitute for insulated boots for linemen or high-voltage work.

Is $79.99 a good price?

Yes. That eBay price as of November 4, 2026 is far below typical retail for a carbon-toe Merrell work boot, which often sells for $130 or more.

One pair of boots. Insoles are included; laces come fitted.
