Xpan 2
The Xpan 2.0 boot features a breakthrough sole architecture built for extreme metallurgy environments, where thermal protection and lightweight performance must coexist. Its advanced sole resists heat, slips, and abrasion in high risk industrial settings. A heat and flame resistant rubber shell encapsulates the polyurethane midsole, forming an integrated thermal barrier without sacrificing shock absorption or adding weight. The result sets a new benchmark in molten metal safety footwear.
