Designing the BLDR 8"

If you work in construction and other labor-intensive jobs, it's important to have a reliable and comfortable work boot that can handle any job site. That's why QLTY decided to design and build the BLDR 8" Waterproof Work Boot.

The BLDR 8" WP work boot is designed for both indoor and outdoor work environments, making it ideal for those who work in wet and muddy conditions. The boot is constructed with a waterproof membrane that keeps your feet dry and protected from the elements. The breathable membrane allows air to circulate, keeping your feet cool and comfortable. The durable leather upper, tough wedge outsole, and steel shank offer protection, traction, and support for construction, carpentry, electrician, roofing, warehouse, and plumbing jobs.

All-Day Comfort:

One of the standout features of the BLDR 8" WP work boot is its all-day comfort. The padded leather collar and tongue, as well as the removable orthotic friendly footbed insert, make for a comfortable fit. The QLTY wedge outsole provides superior shock absorption and traction, while the Goodyear Welt construction ensures durability and longevity.

Max Protection:

The BLDR 8" WP work boot is a steel and soft toe work boot that is designed to withstand the rigors of any job site. The boot is 8" tall, providing maximum protection for your feet from potential injuries. The steel shank offers arch support and stability, while the Goodyear Welt construction ensures durability and longevity. 

 

Goodyear Storm Construction: 

The QLTY boots are built using a Goodyear Storm Welt Construction. This construction creates a water-resistant moisture barrier, the welt, that is durable for years to come. It’s a better way to build a boot, which most of our competitors avoid, that combines human skill and craftsmanship.

QLTY Wedge Outsole:

The QLTY Wedge is a fully resoleable non-marking, oil-and-slip-resistant polyurethane rubber outsole that uses a soft compound for all-day cushioning, support, and traction. The slip and oil resistance of the outsole makes it ideal for working in wet and slippery conditions.

 

Overall, the BLDR 8" Waterproof work boot from QLTY is a reliable work horse and comfortable option for those who work in construction, carpentry, electrician, roofing, warehouse, and plumbing jobs. The boot offers all-day comfort, maximum protection, and superior traction, making it a great investment for anyone looking for a high-quality work boot. The Goodyear Storm Construction and QLTY Wedge Outsole also ensure the boot's durability and longevity, making it a smart investment in the long run.
