PSLKL-187 Wildland Fire Boots
＄ 55.89
The PSLKL-187 Wildland Firefighter Boots are built for long-duration wildland fire operations, where crews face steep grades, radiant heat, and uneven ground. Designed to meet the performance elements of NFPA 1977 wildland firefighting boots requirements, PSLKL-187 wildland boots combine lightweight mobility, endurance, and protection for demanding line work.
Not for interior structural firefighting (NFPA 1970).
Engineered for wildland fire conditions, the PSLKL-187 provides consistent protection and comfort during extended operations on rugged terrain and under radiant heat. The upper is constructed from 2.0–2.2 mm chrome-tanned full-grain leather combined with aramid flame-resistant fabric, forming a flexible yet durable barrier against embers and mechanical abrasion. This hybrid structure maintains breathability while resisting ignition and radiant exposure.
The wildland fire boots’ steel toe and puncture-resistant plate are available upon request; the standard configuration minimizes weight and thermal transfer for long shifts. Internal reinforcement achieves ≥ 900 N puncture resistance (EN ISO 20344). The heat-resistant vulcanized rubber outsole, optionally Vibram® S587, delivers reliable traction on loose soil, gravel, and wet vegetation while maintaining stability on hot ground. A cemented-plus-stitched bonding system with ≥ 200 °C adhesive prevents delamination even after 40,000 flex cycles; stitch-down or Goodyear-welt versions are available for rebuildability.
Water resistance is achieved through precise seam construction and treated materials, sustaining ≥ 9,000 dynamic flex cycles with ≤ 0.1 g ingress under lab testing. The spacer-mesh lining accelerates drying between shifts. Upper abrasion resistance ≥ 50,000 Martindale cycles @ 9 kPa ensures longevity against brush, rock, and tools. In internal hot-plate testing (150 °C × 30 min), insole temperature rise remains ≤ 22 °C, confirming insulation from conductive heat. The U-shaped lace throat with debris-shield cuff provides a secure fit, while an optional side-zip variant supports rapid donning in non-certified use.

Lightweight Durability – FR leather + aramid construction balances breathability with protection.
Heat & Puncture Defense – Optional steel toe / plate; ≥ 900 N puncture; ≤ 22 °C insole rise @ 150 °C × 30 min.
Water & Abrasion Resistance – ≥ 9,000 flex cycles ≤ 0.1 g ingress; ≥ 50,000 abrasion cycles @ 9 kPa.
Serviceable Construction – Cemented + stitched; Goodyear-welt or stitch-down rebuildable options.
Field Comfort – Deep-lug Vibram outsole, fiberglass shank, 90° heel for ladder footing.
The PSLKL-187 Wildland Firefighter Boots are designed for wildland fire suppression and extended initial-attack operations, providing fatigue-free endurance for wildland firefighters in mountainous, brush, and WUI (Wildland-Urban Interface) environments. Ideal for smokejumper teams, chainsaw crews, patrol units, and utility support personnel, these boots deliver heat protection, stability, and long-distance comfort on and off the fire line.
