Detailed Review
The Iron Age Hauler Ia0160 is engineered for those who need reliable footwear in less forgiving environments. The 6-inch height provides ample ankle support, while the waterproof Hydrotex inner lining works effectively to keep moisture at bay, making these boots ideal for wet job sites.
This boot complies with ASTM F2413 safety standards, ensuring that you have **effective protection** against workplace hazards. The double-bonded PermaBond outsole combined with Goodyear welt construction adds to its longevity, letting you focus on your tasks rather than worrying about your gear.
While the design focuses heavily on safety and functionality, it also prioritizes comfort. Unfortunately, some users report that the boots can feel narrow, suggesting that those with wider feet might want to try them on before committing. However, once broken in, they tend to converse well with the foot's natural shape.
In terms of maintenance, the leather exterior is easy to care for with machine wash instructions provided, which adds another layer of convenience to an already practical product.

User Reviews
I have been using this work boot for several years after wearing everything else.. this boot work works great.. fits awesome great flexibility and comfort ..I usually purchased from boot world.. but found them here..so it makes to sense than going to the store...
Have worn these same boots for 3 years as an industrial equipment mechanic. I find them to be great ! I buy better insoles to put in them, so I can be more comfortable, I also apply mink oil on them to make them more waterproof, ( their waterproof already ). And the also rated for work around electrical work. I find them to be a great boot and I will continue to purchase them till I retire from the field !
I bought these for my husband about a year ago and he still loves them. He remodels our house in them, worked on a ranch with them and works in a shipyard with them and they still work great! Highly recommend
i purchased these boots to replace a 16 year old pair of Iron Age boots. Complete garbage not comparable to the original boots the soles were basically hard plastic where originals has a more pliable sore. These in my opinion are knockoffs. Waste of money.
Too Large.
As expected
Good for the money
