The Tingley 26256 Flite Safety Toe Knee Boot is a lightweight, knee-high boot designed for environments where chemical exposure and cold or variable temperatures are a concern. It uses Aerex 1.5.5—a proprietary microcellular polymer—to deliver a upper that is over 40% lighter than typical steel toe PVC or rubber knee boots, while maintaining a seamless, liquid-proof upper and a composite safety toe for impact protection. The Chevron-Plus outsole, made from nitrile rubber, provides slip resistance across dry, wet, and contaminated surfaces, and the boot includes a beveled heel to help reduce strain during daily wear. The product is insulated to help manage foot temperature in fluctuating conditions and includes a replaceable insole for extended usability. The composite toe is designed to meet ASTM F2413 M/I/C EH criteria and is formulated to avoid triggering metal detectors, which can be advantageous in certain controlled environments.
This boot is intended for broad use across industries such as food processing, agriculture, chemical, and petrochemical applications, where chemical resistance to fats, oils, hydrocarbons, and many acids and alkalis is relevant. It is water resistant and waterproof, with a 15-inch blue upper that integrates Calf-Relief Topline for easier on/off and additional calf space. Users should note that while the sole may offer Electric Hazard features, performance may deteriorate in wet conditions or with heavy wear on the sole and heel. The product is sold in case quantities of six and packages as pairs, with Aerex 1.5.5 serving as the inside vamp material as well as the outside vamp material, ensuring consistent performance throughout wear. The boot is designed for adult unisex use and does not include a separate lining in the traditional sense, but it does provide insulated protection and replaceable insoles for upkeep.
