Rocky Code Red NFPA Rated Composite Toe 8" Rescue Boot – Ready for Rescue, Built to Protect 🚒
Step into advanced protection with the Rocky Code Red Rescue Boot—an 8-inch, composite toe boot engineered for fire, rescue, and EMS professionals who demand safety, comfort, and rugged durability on every call.
Key Features:
- Dual NFPA Certification: Meets both NFPA 1977 (wildland firefighting) and NFPA 1999 (emergency medical operations) standards for versatile, multi-mission response[1][2][4].
- Composite Toe Protection: Exceeds ASTM F2413 I75/C75 standards for impact and compression, with added electrical hazard and puncture resistance[1][2][4][5].
- Fire and Bloodborne Pathogen Resistant: Constructed with fire-resistant leather, Nomex stitching, and fire-resistant laces, plus a Stedfast thermal barrier for waterproof and pathogen-resistant performance[1][2][5].
- Vibram Fire & Ice Outsole: Proprietary high-walled Vibram 148 Fire and Ice Compound provides exceptional grip, flexibility, and durability in extreme temperatures[1][2][4][5].
- Comfort and Support: Rocky® Air-Port™/Terra Suspension Footbed delivers cushioning and arch support for long shifts; Roll-Stop Ankle Stability™ and fiberglass shank reduce fatigue and injury risk[1][2][5].
- Quick & Secure Fit: Speed laces and triple-stitched sidewall construction for a rapid, reliable fit on the go[5].
- Bloodborne Pathogen Resistant: Designed to keep you safe from biological hazards encountered during EMS calls[2][5].
- Height: 8 inches for optimal ankle support and maneuverability[1][2][4][5].
Actionable Steps:
- Check Sizing: Use the provided sizing chart to select the right fit—available in men’s and women’s sizes.
- Inspect Regularly: After each use, check for wear on the outsole, stitching, and toe cap to maintain NFPA compliance.
- Clean Promptly: Wipe down after exposure to contaminants for safety and boot longevity.
Alternative Perspectives:
- Some departments require NFPA 1971 boots for structural firefighting; this model is specifically rated for wildland (1977) and EMS (1999), not for structural (1971) fire entry. If your primary role is structural firefighting, consider a dedicated 1971-rated boot.
- Composite toe provides lightweight protection and won’t conduct electricity, but some users may prefer steel toe for maximum rigidity—though this increases weight and potential cold transfer.
