Best jobs and worksites for this boot

Reach for the Pit Boss on general construction, framing, warehousing, and landscaping work where the main hazard is dropped tools or rolling material and you are on your feet all day. Because it is not waterproof, keep it for dry-to-damp conditions and step up to a sealed boot from our waterproof work boots for standing water or wet concrete.

It has no electrical-hazard rating, so if your work puts you near live circuits, choose an EH-rated boot such as the Carhartt Force HD EH boot instead. For pure impact protection on a budget, the Pit Boss and the athletic Skechers Cankton steel toe shoe are the two entry picks we point first-time buyers to.

Sizing, Width, and Fit Notes

The Timberland PRO Pit Boss steel toe boot runs true to size for most feet, with a wider toe box than typical safety boots. Order your normal size; if you are between sizes or wear thick socks, most crews stay on-size rather than going up. Pair it with a cushioned insole from our work boot insoles range, the best work boot insoles guide covers picks that fit steel-toe boots without crowding the cap.

Steel toes transmit cold, so in winter add a thermal sock from our work socks collection or move to an insulated boot. If you need this exact platform for cold, wet sites, the Timberland PRO Direct Attach MaxTRAX steel toe insulated boot is the sealed, insulated sibling. New to safety footwear?

• Choose the Pit Boss over the Skechers Cankton if you want a true boot with ankle support rather than a work shoe.
• Step to the Wolverine Floorhand waterproof steel toe boot if your site gets wet, the Pit Boss is not sealed.
• Need electrical-hazard protection? The Ariat Treadfast steel toe boot adds EH and waterproofing.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Timberland PRO Pit Boss a true steel toe?

Yes. The Pit Boss uses a steel safety toe that meets ASTM F2413 I/75 impact and C/75 compression. It is not a composite or alloy toe.

What size should I order in the Pit Boss?

Order your normal size. The Pit Boss has a wider, rounder toe box than most safety boots, so most buyers stay on-size rather than going up. If you wear thick winter socks, try a half size up.

Is the Pit Boss waterproof?

No. The Pit Boss is not waterproof. For wet concrete or standing water, choose a sealed boot from our waterproof work boots collection.

Does the Pit Boss have an electrical-hazard (EH) rating?

No. The Pit Boss is not EH-rated. If you work near live circuits, pick an EH-rated boot such as the Ariat Treadfast or Thorogood American Heritage moc toe.

Is the Pit Boss slip resistant?

It has an oil-resistant outsole but does not carry a certified slip-resistance rating. For kitchen or wet-floor traction, see our slip-resistant shoes.

How long is the break-in period?

The full-grain leather is stiff out of the box and softens over one to two weeks of wear. Conditioning the leather early with products from our boot care range speeds it up.

Can I add my own insole?

Yes. The footbed is removable, so you can drop in an aftermarket insole. Choose a low-profile model from the best work boot insoles guide so it does not crowd the steel cap.

What colors does the Pit Boss come in?

This listing is the classic brown full-grain leather.

Is the Pit Boss good for concrete all day?

Yes, with the right insole. Its padded collar and roomy fit suit long standing shifts; add a cushioned insole from our work boot insoles for concrete comfort.

What sizes are available?

Sizes 8 through 13, including a 10.5. Order the size you normally wear in work boots.

How does the Pit Boss compare to a composite toe?

Steel is thinner and cheaper but conducts cold and sets off metal detectors; composite is lighter and non-conductive. Our steel toe vs composite comparison breaks down which to buy.
