The Workhog is the pull-on boot we recommend most often to heavy-duty tradespeople and oil patch crews who need maximum protection without the weight of steel. It has been one of our top-selling work boots for years because it handles concrete sites, mud, and gravel without quitting. The composite safety toe meets full CSA requirements while preventing the cold-transfer problem that steel toes cause during deep Alberta winters.

Built for: oil and gas workers, heavy equipment operators, construction crews, and mechanics who spend ten hours a day on hard surfaces. The addition of a non-metallic, puncture-resistant plate gives you full job site compliance while keeping the boot flexible enough for driving and climbing.

Specs:

• Full-grain leather upper in Dark Earth with Brick accents
• Composite safety toe, CSA Grade 1 certified
• Puncture-resistant, metal-free SWEN-FLEX insole board
• Electric shock resistance (ESR) protection
• ATS Max technology for heavy lateral support and fatigue reduction
• Shock-absorbing EVA midsole and stability chassis
• Oil- and slip-resistant Duratread rubber outsole
• 11-inch shaft with wide square toe
• 90-degree heel for secure ladder work
• Goodyear leather welt construction (resoleable)
• Style # 10017170

Sizing: Ariat runs true to size for most Canadian buyers. Because a pull-on boot relies on a correct fit through the instep, expect a snug feel across the top of your foot initially; the leather will supple up and form to your foot within the first week of wear. If you prefer thick winter work socks, we recommend ordering up half a size.
