Tremendous physical exertion in extremely dangerous conditions is one of the reasons a firefighter's job is so unconventional. And so dangerous. Add to that situation the impact of carrying up to 100 extra pounds of protective gear and equipment and it's easy to understand how fatigue can quickly impact safety and performance. Fatigue reduction is exactly why we designed the Firebreaker Fighting-Weight™ to be up to 25% lighter than heavier conventional fireboots. Made with an exclusive Unishield™ process, a pair of Fighting-Weights still provides all the protection of the original Firebreaker, yet is lightweight enough so that the difference can truly be felt. Independent clinical studies reveal that reducing a pound of weight on the foot has the same stress-relieving benefit as taking five pounds off a firefighter's back. That means Fighting-Weight boots' lighter weight can translate to an eight-pound reduction of a firefighter's load when compared with the heaviest boots of other manufacturers.
