by BRUNT Workwear, known for durable boots and apparel, has launched its first U.S.-made work boot, the USA Marin Welted. Assembled in San Antonio, Texas, the boot is crafted with both domestic and global components, including American-sourced waterproof leathers. Featuring Goodyear welt construction and BRUNT’s comfort system, it’s designed for tough job sites, including shipyards and marine operations, catering to workers who value U.S.-made products.
Founder and CEO Eric Girouard said, “Since BRUNT’s launch, we’ve aimed to offer U.S.-made products. The USA Marin Welted is our first step, with more boots to come next year.”
In addition to its durable welt construction, the boot includes a waterproof design, options for soft or composite safety toes, and a slip-, oil-, and heat-resistant outsole rated up to 572º F — essential for the demands of shipbuilders, dockworkers, and mariners working in harsh environments.
The Marin line is named after Matt Marin, a union drywall superintendent and childhood friend of Girouard. Together, they created an affordable, comfortable boot tailored for trade workers, including shipyard and maritime industry workers, who need safety and compliance on the job.
The USA Marin Welted is available on BRUNT’s website beginning today – and launches in a classic dark brown colorway, with additional limited-edition and in-line colors to follow.
