Step Into Comfort and Safety: Introducing the Asphalt PRO Shoe

If you've ever spent a day on hot asphalt, you know the struggle. The heat, the long hours, and the constant strain on your feet can make or break your day. 

Here at HMA Lab Supply, we discovered a footwear solution that combines safety, durability, and—get this—comfort! Introducing a game-changing product that’s built specifically for the asphalt industry: the Asphalt PRO Workboot.

A Shoe Designed for the Mat

The Asphalt PRO shoe isn't just another safety boot; it was engineered from the ground up for asphalt professionals.  Our good friend Bryce Wuori, CEO of PaveWise, gave the shoes his "gold star review," calling them a change in how he views industry footwear.

Here's why these shoes are making waves:

  • Heat Resistance: Many of us have experienced your boots literally melting on the hot mat. The Asphalt PRO Shoe features a patented sole and construction designed to withstand the extreme temperatures of the asphalt industry, keeping the heat where it belongs—away from your feet.

  • Purpose-Driven Design: The team worked with Vellinga Safetyshoes,Inc. based in the Netherlands, to bring this innovative design to market. These shoes are specifically tailored for the demanding environment of asphalt paving.

  • Steel Toe Protection: Safety is non-negotiable. These shoes offer the necessary steel-toe protection in a lighter-weight package than traditional heavy boots. This style is also offered without steel-toes. 

  • Agility and Comfort: One of the most praised features is the comfort level. They have the comfort of a sneaker with extra padding and a springy feel. This agility is crucial when you're moving around the mat, checking densities, or pushing equipment. 

The Details that Make a Difference

Beyond the core safety and comfort features, the Asphalt Pro Shoe boasts some premium details:

  • Perforated Goat Leather: It might sound luxurious, but the perforated goat leather interior is a "game changer" for breathability and comfort on long, hot days.

  • Seamless Construction: The shoes are designed with no stitching that can easily come apart, ensuring maximum durability.

  • Flat Sole: The flat sole is not only easy to clean or scrape off asphalt residue, but also ensures you aren't leaving unwanted markings on the finished mat.

Style and Substance

Let’s be honest: they are extremely comfortable! Our Director of Operations, Brian O’Toole, admits they are "stylish," meaning you can wear them comfortably around the office before heading out to the job site. They're versatile enough that you might even forget you had 'em on when you leave the job site, a far cry from the heavy, sweaty boots we're all used to.

The Asphalt PRO Shoe is available in the United States, with sizes ranging from 7.5 to 14. If you're ready to save your feet from the intense heat and discomfort of the mat, this is the shoe for you.
