Is the Rebar Wedge a safety toe boot?

No. It is a soft toe, so it has no steel or composite cap and gives no impact protection. It suits work that doesn't require a safety toe.

Are these boots actually waterproof?

Yes. The upper is waterproof leather, so it keeps feet dry in rain, wet grass and shallow puddles. Water can still come in over the top of the 10-inch shaft.

What is a wedge sole good for?

A wedge sole is flat from heel to toe, so it puts more rubber on the ground and spreads weight evenly. That makes it stable and cushioned for standing and walking on hard, flat surfaces.

How does it compare with a steel-toe work boot?

It is lighter and more flexible, and the soft toe doesn't press on the toes. A steel- or composite-toe boot is the better pick where a safety toe is required.

Do they run true to size?

Work boots like these usually fit close to standard shoe size, and the leather softens with wear. Try them on with the socks you work in before relying on the fit.

How should I care for the waterproof leather?

Wipe off dirt and let the boots air dry away from direct heat. Condition the leather now and then to keep it supple and to help the waterproofing last.
