This high-top work shoe closely resembles a sneaker and, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, is much lighter than traditional leather work shoes. The upper is made of microfiber, which is lighter than leather but offers the same level of protection. The shoe also features gray accents on the sole. The inner lining is made of Cambrelle, which makes the shoe breathable. The toe cap is made of fiberglass. This is lighter than carbonite or steel but offers the same level of safety as those materials. The rubber sole provides optimal traction, and the Cross Safety Firm also features a protective Kevlar midsole.
