Matterhorn Work Boot Technology
STEEL TOE
Matterhorn's Steel Toe work boots meet the ASTM F2413 standard for protective footwear. The Steel Toes will offer Impact Protection and Sustained Pressure Protection.
NON-METALLIC SAFETY TOE
Matterhorn Non-Metallic Safety Toe work boots are built for environments where steel is not appropriate, with the added benefit that they will not conduct heat or cold into the inside of the boots. These work boots meet the ASTM F2413 standards for protective footwear.
ALUMINUM TOE
Matterhorn's Aluminum Toes work boots are lightweight, but meet the same ASTM F2413 standard as Steel and Composite Toe boots to protect feet from impact and compression.
CAMBRELLE LINING
Matterhorn's work boots that have a Cambrelle Lining have an abrasion-resistant fabric lining, with Rapid Moisture Release Technology capabilities, with excellent moisture-wicking properties to help keep feet dry from sweat down within the boots.
KEVLAR
Matterhorn's work boots that are made with Kevlar® have cut-resistant synthetic fiber panels that give boots extraordinary toughness. Kevlar is a material made of rugged fibers that have maximum tenacity, high tensile strength that reinforces the work boots while also providing thermal stability.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD (EH) RATED
Matterhorn's boots with an Electrical Hazard (EH) Rating have been tested by an independent lab to withstand applications of 18,000 volts at 60hz for one minute without leakage. EH boots are a secondary form of protection. Electrical Workers must also use primary forms of protection per OSHA standards: 29 CFR 1910.137; 29 CFR 1910.269(l); and 29 CFR 1926.950(c).
TIGER TIP
Matterhorn boots that have the Tiger Tip designation have a Rubber Toe Guard with a raised ridge. This patented high-abrasion boot tip - a Matterhorn innovation - provides superior protection and extends the life of the boot.
WATERPROOF SCUBALINER
Matterhorn work boots with Scubaliner Waterproofing Technology have an impenetrable Internal Membrane, which allows small air molecules to pass through while blocking and keeping out much larger water molecules so feet stay dry and comfortable.
PUNCTURE RESISTANCE
Matterhorn boots that are Puncture Resistant have built-in Stainless Steel Bottom Plates inserted between the insoles and the outsoles to prevents nails and other sharp objects from penetrating into the bottom of the feet.
GORE-TEX BEST DEFENSE MILITARY & TACTICAL FOOTWEAR

GOODYEAR FLEX WELT CONSTRUCTION
Matterhorn Boots with Goodyear Flex Welt Construction are made with a process used to attach the insole, the lining and the outsole of the boots all together, creating a strong, durable, yet flexible bond.
3M™ THINSULATE ULTRA INSULATION
Matterhorn Boots that have 3M Thinsulate ULTRA Insulation have a thin, warm insulation layer that is durable and compression-resistance. It features microfibers which trap dead air, and absorb water, maintaining warmth even in damp conditions. Thinsulate is a trademark of 3M.
NYTEK®
Matterhorn work boots that are made with Nytek, which is a revolutionary alternative to leather. Nytek offers advantages that leather simply cannot match. Specially formed, high-performance nylon microfibers are nearly indistinguishable from the collagen fibers of leather.
INTELLITEMP®
Matterhorn's work boots that are made with Intellitemp® have "Smart Foam" which is made of temperature-regulating ingredients that absorb and releases heat. It provides perpetual comfort in all weather environments, as it manages moisture, heat, and odor.
XSTATIC®
Matterhorn's work boots that are made with XSTATIC® have DRYZ® Silver Technology that is safe for both people and the environment. As moisture spreads, so do the silver agents within the insole, enhancing its anti-odor, temperature regulatory and anti-microbial properties.
DRYZ®
Matterhorn's work boots that are made with DRYZ® have foam that keeps your feet cool and dry, by absorbing moisture away from your feet in a gel-like substance. With a constant flow of movement, the gelled moisture dissipates continuously throughout the day and completely when shoes are removed.
