Canadian footwear brand Baffin presents Detour (Metatarsal Guard), a unisex safety boot designed for mining and the most demanding terrains and job sites.
Detour (MET) is CSA/ASTM approved and ESR/EH rated, ensuring “superior defense against chemicals and the elements.” Equipped with a metatarsal guard and steel-toe and plate base, Detour (MET) delivers safety in high-risk environments.
“At Baffin, we’re driven to create products with exceptional quality and unyielding durability, including industrial work footwear that combines essential safety features with unparalleled protection against the elements. Our boots are built to empower the hardest workers across any job site, keeping them safe, comfortable and performing at their best,” said Jessica Liut, brand director at Baffin. “We are proud to introduce Detour (MET) to our collection of safety footwear that workers can depend on. Made to perform in high-risk environments where durability and reliability are non-negotiable, Detour (MET) is a new standard in mining footwear.”
Detour (MET) has extended protection from chemicals and environmental exposure to the top of the boot, featuring a tall natural rubber upper with a cotton lining, and comes with slip-resistant and oil and acid-resistant properties; the rubber cleated outsole offers enhanced traction on unpredictable ground. A cushioned insole provides additional comfort for long shifts and extended wear without compromising support.
The black, orange, and green boot is Real-World Tested (RWT)* and Elemental Rated, offering foundational and functional performance, and is B-Tek Dry waterproof, an impervious to water technology, delivering the maximum level of wet protection.
While this style is designed with the mining industry in mind, its durability and protection are applicable for various other applications and fields, including agriculture, chemicals, construction, food processing, manufacturing, and utilities.
Available in unisex sizes 5 to 15 (women’s fit 7 to 17).
