Firefighter。These boots were manufactured under contract for the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and meet the rigorous NFPA 1977 standards for wildland firefighting. These are high-quality, \"old-school\" leather boots built for durability and protection in the harshest terrain. Whether you are on the fire line, hiking through rough brush, or looking for a bulletproof work boot, these are built to perform. Product Features: • NFPA 1977 Certified: Officially classified by UL for wildland firefighting. • Vibram Lug Outsole: Iconic yellow-label Vibram soles for maximum traction on steep, uneven, and slippery terrain. • Premium Leather: Thick, fire-resistant black leather uppers with a padded collar for ankle support and debris protection. • Speed Lacing System: Durable metal eyelets and speed hooks for a secure, custom fit. • BLM Contract Stock: Stock #3051, manufactured with government-grade quality control. Condition: These boots are in New Old Stock (NOS) condition. They still have the original tags attached, including the \"Fire Fighters Burn Foundation\" charity tag. They show no signs of wear on the soles or uppers, though they may have minor surface dust/scuffs from storage. ***Note on Age: The internal tag indicates a manufacturing date of 10/00. While these are brand new and never worn, they are a vintage item. The leather is in excellent, supple condition, but as with all older footwear, they are sold as-is. ***Some marks on toe boxes and back heel. Please see photos.
