KEEN Utility Men's Gibson 4.5" Water Resistant Carbon Toe Chelsea Boot

What's a carbon-fiber toe, and how does it compare to steel?

It's a non-metallic safety toe — noticeably lighter than steel and it doesn't conduct heat or cold. That's what keeps this boot at 540 g while still offering toe protection.

Why no laces?

The Chelsea design pulls on and off in seconds with elastic side panels — useful if you're in and out of boots during the day, or working around machinery where laces are a snag risk.
