Sarge here — appreciate the honest, boots-on-deck feedback.
First off, glad to hear the ProTec is delivering where it counts on the job overall. That said, your callouts are fair, and we want to address them straight.
The ProTec line is ASTM-certified slip resistant, designed and tested for typical industrial and worksite conditions—think concrete, tile, shop floors, and day-to-day exposure to oils and fluids. In environments where surfaces are constantly saturated or pooled with oil, traction becomes a different fight altogether, and even certified non-slip outsoles can reach their limits. That doesn’t make your experience any less real—and it’s exactly the kind of insight we take seriously.
On the laces: solid note. That’s easy intel for us to act on, and feedback like yours helps us refine the details that matter in real-world use.
Bottom line—we’re glad the boots are working for you overall, and we respect the conditions you’re operating in. Thanks for taking the time to share the full picture. If you ever want help dialing in a setup better suited for extreme oil-heavy environments, our team’s got your six.
