Laces slow you down at 5 a.m., which is why the Kimberly runs a side zipper up its 7-inch tan nubuck shaft — on and off in seconds, without giving up an ASTM F2413-11 I/75 C/75 SD steel-toe rating. CoolMAX moisture management keeps feet dry through long shifts, PORON with Microban handles cushioning and odor, and antistatic ESD EN 61340 protection makes it safe for controlled environments, from jobsites to hunting trails.
Does the Kimberly AK232Z have a zipper? Yes — the Kimberly AK232Z is zip-sided for quick on/off, alongside its steel toe and antistatic protection.
