Georgia Boot is as durable as the day is long.
For over 60 years Georgia Boot has been a leader in the footwear market and revolutionized the work boot industry in 1992, with the introduction of its Comfort Core Insole Technology.
Georgia Boot has an exceptional line of hunting, fishing and outdoor footwear that consists of technologically advanced boots that incorporate features including Comfort Core Insole Technology, Gore-Tex linings, Thinsulate insulation and SPR leather.
The Farm & Ranch collection of footwear are designed to hold up under the toughest of environments by using specific elements such as: SPR leather, Carbo-Tec construction and Comfort Core Insole Technology.
Georgia Boot safety footwear is laboratory tested to meet the highest safety standards set by OSHA. Every new material or component is thoroughly researched and tested before it's incorporated into the footwear - making Georgia Boot the best choice wherever people work with heavy equipment, machinery and containers.
GORE-TEX
Gore-Tex uses a patented bootie consisting of a membrane which
has tiny pores that keep water molecules out, but allow water vapor
to escape from around the foot. Thus, Gore-Tex boots are
water-proof, but they also breathe, which keeps feet dry and warm.
The Gore-Tex company is very careful in protecting the reputation
of its material. Every Gore-Tex bootie is tested in a high pressure
tank for waterproofness. Also, the company subjects its licensees'
products to extensive testing to ensure the membrane is being used
properly. Gore-Tex products carry the tag "Guaranteed to Keep You
Dry." This warranty is taken so seriously that the company withholds
use of its membrane and its name from any company which fails to
live up to its rigid manufacturing standards.
Our boots that are designated waterproof are manufactured to rigid
specifications to assure that the environment your feet live in is
comfortable and dry. Our waterproof products are available in a range
of waterproof levels. For damp or wet conditions where the foot is
not submerged for periods of time, look for a product that is made
with waterproof leathers and a direct attached sole.
For conditions where the foot may be submerged, only a Gore-Tex
inner-bootie constructed boot will offer full waterproof protection for
longer periods of time.
No one wants their feet to get cold. But for some outdoor
enthusiasts, keeping feet warm is a matter of survival. For them,
there is the Thinsulate TM Ultra Insulation designation. To acquire this certification and to display the special tag, there must be a minimum of 400 grams of Thinsulate TM Insulation throughout the boot. In addition, the boot must be insulated in the toe, vamp,
heel and all the way over the ankle.
Now when you buy a boot carrying the Thinsulate TM Ultra Insulation
tag, you can expect not only the warmest insulation, but the best
construction on the market.
SPR Leather
SPR leather is tanned by three separate processes for extra stength and resistance. It's been proven in test to be three times stronger, two and half times more abrasive resistant, and more acid and chemical resistant than conventional tanned leather. As a result, SPR leather resists caustic alkali, sulphuric acid, calcium hydroxide, potassium phosphate, caustic potash and barnyard acids.
Suspension System
The engineering advances of our SUSPENSION SYSTEM outsole and
midsole design flatten the hazards of walking or standing on uneven
surfaces. Dual density SUSPENSION SYSTEM outsoles contain a core
of softer, lighter polyurethane to add bounce and power to your
stride while the outside is tougher and denser for longwearing stability
and support.
The suspension design permits each lug to operate independently,
stabilizing your footing and smoothing out your stride. Tiny grooves at
the lug base work like air springs to absorb and disperse shock, then
spring back into position.
Steel Toe
Our uniquely designed cap provides added room and maximum
protection. Independent testing has proven that our steel toe
footwear withstands over 5000 lbs. of static pressure - more than
twice the ANSI standard.
Electrical Hazard
Footwear with this symbol is built with nail-free construction using
steel or composition toe caps to help insulate you from the ground
and retard conduction, but is not to be primary protection against
electric shock.
Georgia Boot meets and exceeds ANSI Z41, Section 4 standards.
Refer to the ANSI Z41 Standard for EH Protective Limits.
What Do Those ANSI Numbers Mean?
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) sets the standards for protective footwear. There are two basic requirements all safety footwear must meet: impact and compression. There are three classifications of each according to test results. 1/75, 1/50 and 1/30 are designations for test results done with a 50 pound weight dropped from a set height. C/75, C/50 and C/30 are designations of tests done compressing the safety toes at 2,500 pounds (for C/75), 1,750 pounds (C/50) and 1,000 pounds (C/30). The toe must have a minimum clearance inside the toe area of the shoe of 16/32" for men's footwear and 15/32" for women's footwear after the tests are completed. Georgia Boot meets all ANSI standards set by OSHA and comply with "ANSI Z41.1 - 1991: American National Standards for Personal Protection Footwear".
Don't be jealous because Woo Daves, the
2000 BASS Masters Classic Champion,
makes a living fishing. Be glad. It helped
him design the perfect line of shoes for
fishing and boating. Ones with fast-dry,
rot-resistant materials, waterproof
leather, and slip-resistant soles. They're
stylish and comfortable, too. Woo fished
long and hard to make sure of that. But
hey, that's his job.
