Monarch 6-Inch Waterproof Steel Toe Work Boots
Monarch 86604 steel toe work boots combine a 6-inch lace-up design with waterproof molded construction for wet and muddy work areas. A cleated outsole, reinforced shank and replaceable cushioned insoles make this ankle-height style an option for agricultural work, facility maintenance and general industrial tasks where chemical resistance is not required.
ASA SKU S86604 identifies the 6-inch Monarch model. Its shorter height offers less coverage than a knee boot, so select it according to the depth of water or mud and the exposure expected during the job.
Key Features
- Waterproof, injection-molded construction.
- Steel toe for occupational foot protection.
- 6-inch lace-up workshoe profile.
- Cleated outsole for outdoor work surfaces.
- Replaceable cushioned insoles.
Common Uses & Applications
- Orchard and vegetable-field work.
- General agricultural operations.
- Facility and grounds maintenance.
- Wet-area material handling.
- General jobsite work without chemical exposure.
Selecting the Right Boot Height
Consider both footing and coverage when choosing work boots. Water can enter above the opening of a 6-inch boot. A taller style may be needed for deeper water, mud or splashes, but height alone does not establish chemical resistance.
Do not select this model for wet concrete, cement slurry, chemical washdown or spill response based only on its waterproof construction. Those exposures require a separate assessment of material compatibility and the protection needed for the task.
Fit, Inspection and Care
Try the boots with the work socks normally worn during a shift. Check toe clearance, heel movement and lace adjustment before putting them into service. Keep laces secured and inspect the upper, sole and closure for wear or damage.
Clean and store boots according to the supplied instructions. Replace damaged footwear and use compatible replacement insoles. Cleats do not guarantee slip prevention; mud, oil, floor condition and tread wear can affect footing.
Safety Standards and Protection Limits
The legacy ONGUARD manufacturer catalog lists Monarch steel-toe styles under ASTM F2413-11. Confirm the marking on the supplied boots for the applicable standard edition and protection codes. A reinforced shank is not evidence of a puncture-resistant midsole or electrical-hazard rating.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.136 requires appropriate protective footwear for identified foot hazards. Use the workplace assessment required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132 to determine whether this boot provides the necessary protection.
FAQ
Is this the tall Monarch knee boot?
No. Model 86604 is the 6-inch steel-toe workshoe with a cleated outsole.
Does the reinforced shank provide puncture protection?
A shank does not establish a puncture-resistance rating. Choose footwear with verified puncture protection when required.
Are these chemical-resistant boots?
The manufacturer catalog describes Monarch for uses where chemical resistance is not a factor. Waterproof construction should not be treated as chemical protection.

Okay, I'll be honest, for the price I didn't know if they would be good or not, but had to have them for work. I got them within 3 days and they are WAY more comfortable then my $80 boots that they just replaced. I'm very happy with this purchase and I'm like a kid in a candy store in this site! ha.
