When shopping for work boots, it’s not enough to trust the product description—you need to know how to read the safety label. For ASTM Certified Safety Boots, the label reveals which protective features are included and whether the footwear meets your job’s requirements.
At MooseLog, we make it easy: every safety boot we sell is ASTM certified, puncture-resistant, and designed for lightweight comfort.
What the ASTM Label Looks Like
All ASTM-certified boots must display a label—usually found on the tongue or inner side—that contains:
- ASTM F2413: The standard for performance requirements.
- Year of issue: For example, ASTM F2413-18 (issued in 2018).
- M or F: Denotes footwear made for men or women.
- Protection codes: These may include:
|

Why Labels Matter
If your workplace requires ASTM certification, these codes confirm whether your boots are compliant. Employers may conduct spot checks, and inspections may result in fines if your boots don't meet the standard.
