For the Spring 2020 season, HYTEST Safety Footwear will debut the FootRests® 2.0 Tread Hiker and Mission Zipper Boot: two new light industrial styles that deliver on- the-job grip protection, and comfort, available now on Hytest.com.

HYTEST works to bring safety and dependability to those who work in some of the toughest environments. With comfort and protection top of mind, the FootRests® 2.0 franchise has introduced key technologies to enhance breathability, slip resistance, support and all-day stamina.

As an extension of the original comfort platform, the FootRests® 2.0 Tread Hiker features abrasion resistant TecTuff material, a nano, non-metallic safety toe, a lightweight Xergy® anti-fatigue foam midsole to absorb shock and return energy, and the new FootHolds® enhanced rubber outsole - an oil and slip resistant outsole to enhance worker productivity and safety in high-slip areas.

The FootRests® 2.0 Mission Zipper Boot is an athletic-inspired duty boot that’s uniform-ready and provides all-day comfort. Highlighting the lightweight and breathable fabric with minimal seams to breakdown or tear, this boot features the same Xergy® and FootHolds® technology found in the Tread Hiker, while also offering an easy-on, easy-off zipper.

“Our consumers work hard every day to support their families,” says Karry Johnson, VP/GM of HYTEST, “HYTEST is dedicated to equipping them with the resources they need to get the job done - from the boots on their feet to the expert safety knowledge and service we deliver.”
