Overview

Not a heavy steel-toe clunker, the New Balance Calibre is an athletic-style work boot with a lightweight composite toe, puncture-resistant midsole and electrical hazard protection. A water-resistant leather upper and Acteva foam midsole bring sneaker-like comfort to the job site.

Ratings for impact, compression, puncture, slip and electrical hazard cover common job site rules in one boot, with running-shoe comfort tech inside. Water resistance handles light wet, but standing water calls for a waterproof boot.

Who it's for

Warehouse, construction and maintenance workers get certified protection in a lighter, sneaker-style boot. Workers on flooded or very wet sites should choose a waterproof model.
