Cosmas® Professional Use Only
A FEW WORDS FROM SOME OF YOU WHO WEAR COSMAS®...
Cosmas® - At Cosmas, our philosophy is simple: Draw on the input and experience of professional firefighters, the latest innovative materials and technologies, and our hand-crafted footwear heritage to develop the best fitting, highest-quality, high-performance personal protective footwear available
On June 2nd, and we made a 3rd alarm fire. We were there for 2 1/2
hours and I have to say these are the best boots I have ever worn on the
fire ground. My attention was never drawn to how my feet felt as they
were comfortable the entire time. I have always had issues with boots
when I have had to wear them on extended fire ground operations. That
was not the case this time.

These are the best bunker boots I’ve ever worn! At -40 without my wool
socks on I was comfortable. The AnkleArmor™ works amazingly well.
The soles have great traction on both hard surfaces and ice. Usually
it’s one or the other. I don’t know how they do it, but they even work on
vinyl floor with a layer of ice on it. I usually wear out soles in a year
and after 6 months, these soles still look brand new. I will never buy
anything different.

We compared the Cosmas sole to the other “leading” sole by standing
on 1000 to 1200 degree ash pits for 15 seconds. The “leading” brand
had serious deterioration and crystallization at this temperature. Cosmas
showed little to no damage from the heat test. I was able to stand
in these temperatures while testing the Cosmas sole. In this simple evaluation,
Comas’ sole far exceeded the “leading” brand hands down.

I have a wide flat foot and have trouble finding work boots/shoes that
fit. For quite some time I’ve had to wear steel toe tennis shoes to get
a work shoe that fits. This Helios style of Cosmas shoes are the most
comfortable work shoes I’ve had in a very long time. The quarter boot
style gives a great deal of support on flat or grass/wildland surfaces.
The flexibility of the insert in sizing different widths is a huge bonus. I
told Cosmas I was a tough fit, but they’ve solved my problem. I would
highly recommend this boot.

HELIOS
I’ve been involved in wildland/interface fire operations for nearly 40
years and this is the most versatile boot I have ever worn. The fit and
overall design has resulted in a boot that is both practical AND comfortable.
You would be hard pressed to find a boot which is as serviceable
for wildland, interface, and rescue operations as this one.

As a Chief Officer, I wanted to convey to you how pleased I am with
the Cosmas Boots. Having worn the Cosmas Boots for approximately 2
months and having worn them at two Incidents that were over 3 hours
each, now I will let you know that I would never go back to the competitor
Leather Boot. These boots are even more comfortable than the
tennis shoes.

VERY comfortable boots! The ankle locks are awesome. They almost
feel like sneakers on my feet. I’m very impressed with the traction. I
can’t wait to walk around in a snow storm! The ankle guards are awesome.
I will say, these boots are the most comfortable I have ever worn.
They are lightweight and provide excellent protection with the ankle
armor and shin plate. My first day…heck my first hour with these boots
I responded to a small fire on the exterior of the garage. I remember
thinking as I was trotting up the driveway how comfortable the boots
were and how positive the footing was.
