Steiner 12184 Leather Welding Spat Universal Fit

Product Description

The STEINER 12184 is a general-purpose leather spat designed to protect the top and sides of a worker's boot from welding spatter, sparks, and heat exposure. Constructed from side split cowhide leather, this spat measures 10 inches in height and secures to the boot with an adjustable leather strap closure. Rivet-reinforced seams and stress points extend the service life of the spat under demanding shop conditions. It weighs 0.7 pounds and fits a universal shoe size for both men and women, making it a practical addition to standard welding PPE setups. Installation requires no tools.

This spat is suited for light industrial and welding environments where workers need supplemental foot protection against spatter and hot debris without replacing their existing boots. The plain toe design accommodates a wide range of steel-toe and soft-toe work boots. It is appropriate for use in manufacturing, fabrication shops, pipeline work, and general MIG or stick welding applications where OSHA 1910.136 foot protection requirements apply. Welders and ironworkers are the primary installers and end users.

Installation Notes

No power-down or system shutdown is required for PPE installation. Position the spat over the boot with the leather strap routed securely beneath the sole or heel as designed, then fasten the strap closure snugly to prevent movement during work. Inspect rivets and seams before each use and replace the spat if the leather shows burn-through, cracking, or structural failure. Consult applicable OSHA and employer PPE requirements before use in hot-work environments.
