When he’s not on the bull, Eli Vastbinder is home in Statesville, NC working hard on his ranch. Ever since we started working with Eli we’ve discussed developing a square toe boot with him that delivers all-day comfort without sacrificing durability or performance. Eli is one of the toughest guys I’ve ever met, and our team loved the challenge of building a boot that is as tough as he is. Welted, waterproof, and built with BRUNT CUSH’N® in both the midsole and insole, this boot can tackle whatever you throw at it - just like Eli. - Eric Girouard, Founder & CEO

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The primary benefit of a square toe boot is the increased comfort it provides due to a wider toe box, allowing for more room for your toes to spread out naturally. Great for people with wide feet or who need to be on their feet for long periods of time; making them ideal for ranch work or everyday wear where comfort is prioritized.

BRUNT builds comfort into every inch of our boots. Our signature triple-layer BRUNT CUSH’N® insoles feature a nonstick top layer, a memory foam midlayer, and a cushy bottom layer - and our new BRUNT CUSH’N® midsole provides even more lightweight cushioning, and up to 30% energy return.

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.

    Love the boot

    Tried to order when you had the socks and toboggan special. Said you were out of a 10. Disappointment in terms of the promotion. Feel like you should have honored that. This is my third pair of Brunt boots and will not wear another brand.

    Great Boots

    This is my first pair of Brunt work boots. I have tried other brands and the sizing and quality have not seemed to fit my foot and usually I end up with sore feet at the end of the day or they are worn out after a few months. I have been wearing the Vastbinder for a few weeks now and ever since I have put them on my feet haven't hurt once. I have quite wide feet and these fit close to perfect minus a little heal slip. I purchased a 10.5 and am not sure if I went down to a 10 if they would be too snug or not. Overall very satisfied so far with these boots and time will tell how long they withstand the wear and tear of working on the farm.

    Comfortable right out of the box.

    No more expensive than anything else I have ever bought.

    I am interested to see how they hold up in the poultry houses.
