Which boot construction is right for you?

Not every job has the same demands - and not every boot is built the same way. The Vastbinder boot comes in two constructions. Learn which one is right for you.

Cemented Construction

Cemented Construction

Cemented boots use a high-strength adhesive to bond the sole directly to the upper part of the boot. That means less break-in time, more flexibility, and less weight on your feet. Perfect if you’re on the move all day and need comfort right out of the box.
Welted Construction

Welted Construction

Welted boots use a durable, resoleable Goodyear welt construction - a method where the upper is stitched to the sole with a tough leather welt. That stitch creates a stable, hard-wearing bond that holds up on the most demanding jobsites. These boots are fully waterproof and ultra-durable, built with an extra midsole layer for added support, and made to go the distance - shift after shift.

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. Durable, waterproof, and built with BRUNT CUSH’N® insoles, 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.

    Really Great Boots

    I ordered these about a year ago and wore them a few times...decided to try to fit them right (usually i wear 9's in everything but sometimes that a tad too roomy). I went with the 8.5. I wore them a handfull of times and they were pretty tight, couldnt wear them all day. Recently in April got a new job and started wearing these daily and it didn't take long for them to fully break in and wow theh are the most comfortable boots I have now and I will likely always have a pair of these now. Absolutely love em. Get em past break in and they're amazing!

    Comfortable and light weight

    When my husband’s not wearing the waterproof Marin 8” he is wearing these slip ons. Brunt boots are a household staple for us and must have if you like light weight boots

    Great boot!

    Most comfortable boot I’ve worn yet from any brand. I walk 8+ miles a day while at work. Yes my feet are slightly sore but not extreme like in the past. They do well inside puddles and dirt. They just have a slight squeak when walking indoors.

    Question, is there any boot insole replacements available for purchase?
