Serious Red Wing protection engineered for extreme cold-weather work. The Red Wing Polar X 3265 is a heavy-duty 8-inch insulated safety boot combining waterproof protection, the BOA® Fit System, a non-metallic safety toe and puncture-resistant protection for professionals working in severe winter environments.

Four layers of insulation help protect against bitter cold, while the waterproof construction keeps moisture out in demanding outdoor conditions. An EVA footbed with an insulated felt heel cup provides additional warmth and comfort, while the polyurethane midsole is engineered to perform at low temperatures. Underneath, the IceAxe outsole provides exceptional oil, slip and abrasion resistance for demanding winter workplaces.
