BRUNT products are named after the trade workers who help us design and test everything we make. See how Andy Mulder got his start in the trades, how he built Mulder Outdoors, and why we named the Mulder Welted after him.
These boots have been the most comfortable boots I owned so far. They made a world of a difference on my feet so far. I know I will be getting another pair of them when I need another pair.

Keep me dry and working hard
Yes, it rains in the desert. When it rains there's mud too. Thanks for the excellent boot.

My First Work Boot
This was my first work boot and when i tried it on I was very surprised. The interior is super comfortable probably the most comfortable boot I ever owned and fits perfectly. Its easy to slip on unlike some other boots . The exterior is super strong and i feel like my feet have full protection when wearing them. The only downside I can say is that it is decently heavy but that is to be expected. Overall these boots are amazing and worth every penny.

Excellent work boot
Took a bit of time to break in, after that it is the best work boot I've ever had. Use to be I couldn't wait to get my regular shoes on after work. Now my regular shoes aren't as comfortable as my work boots after a full 12 hour shift. they are that good.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because of their reinforced build, welted boots are built to take a beating and they provide a higher degree of stabilization for your foot and ankle which makes navigating uneven footing much easier. And because of the mechanical bond created in the welting process, a Goodyear welt has best-in-class waterproofing, plus a resoleable design that allows you to replace the outsole to extend the overall life of the boot.
When it comes to a welted boot, think uneven terrain and unpredictable conditions. A welted boot is incredibly durable by nature and is best suited for heavy-duty jobs. To name a few specific trades who would benefit from a welted boot: road workers, commercial builders, pipefitting and welding, resource extraction, railroad, linemen, and waste workers.
A Goodyear welted work boot features an additional midsole layer that’s built into the boot to create torsional rigidity for additional stability and durability. This welt is formed by connecting the upper part of a shoe to the midsole of the shoe in a three step process: stapling the upper to the insole, stitching the upper to the insole, and then stitching the upper and the midsole together. This physical entanglement of fibers creates a very strong mechanical bond between the two main parts of the shoe, and provides a very durable build with a high degree of waterproofness. It also allows the outsole of the boot to be replaced—or “resoled”—after extended periods of hard use.
