16" Plain Toe PVC Work Boots – Chemical-Resistant, Slip-Resistant, Cuttable Shaft
The plain toe PVC boots offer 16-inch coverage for wet work where safety-toe protection is not required. Black PVC uppers and soles, EVA insoles, and an unlined interior provide a straightforward option for maintenance and sanitation footwear programs. ASA SKU 0087-4010 is sold by the pair.
The over-sock design fits directly over work socks. Cut-off bands allow shaft-height adjustment following manufacturer guidance. Kick-off spurs assist removal, and punch-out holes provide a hanging option. Check fit before modifying the shaft.

Select for the Actual Exposure
For rain, mud, and routine wet tasks, consider shaft coverage, footing, and cleaning needs. Keep water below the opening. Cordova describes resistance to several chemical families, but this does not establish compatibility with every cleaner, solvent, or sanitizer. Check the substance, concentration, temperature, and contact duration before chemical exposure.
Slip resistance depends on the floor, contaminants, and tread condition. No specific slip-test rating is established by the reviewed documentation. Clean accumulated debris from soles and replace worn footwear. Food-contact material statements do not replace facility hygiene procedures.
For repeat purchases, record the PB23 model, selected size, and workplace requirements. Reassess footwear whenever cleaning chemicals, floor conditions, or job duties change; a familiar boot may not suit a new exposure.
OSHA Footwear Selection
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132 requires workplace hazard assessment and appropriate PPE selection. OSHA 1910.136 requires protective footwear for specified impact, sole-puncture, and electrical hazards. These employer requirements do not certify PB23.
Do not substitute this plain-toe boot for required protective footwear. No safety-toe, puncture-resistance, electrical-hazard, or metatarsal rating is claimed here. Where toe protection is required, compare steel toe PVC work boots against your workplace specification.
Manufacturer Sheet and Care
Cordova PB23 specification sheet (PDF). Document discrepancy: its opening paragraph describes lined steel-toe construction, while its feature list specifies unlined PVC. Do not use that paragraph or the website’s generic ASTM/CSA statement to establish protective ratings for this plain-toe model.
Inspect boots for cracks, leaks, and sole damage before use. Follow manufacturer cleaning instructions and avoid heated drying. California warning: Cancer and reproductive harm. See P65Warnings.ca.gov.
FAQ
