Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of a 90° heel?

A 90° heel provides enhanced stability on ladders, uneven terrain, and rough surfaces. The defined edge helps your boots catch securely on ladder rungs and gives you solid footing when climbing or descending. It also digs into loose ground like dirt or gravel - providing better control and helping prevent slips on unstable surfaces.

What jobs are 90° heels best for?

Any job where you're climbing, carrying heavy loads, or working on unpredictable surfaces - like construction, logging, utility work, or concrete. The 90° heel helps you stay sure-footed on ladders, rooftops, sloped ground, and terrain that shifts under pressure.
