Safety Footwear Innovation
Our product development helps bring innovative products to market including Vibram soles and the Boa Fit System
We Have a Range of High Quality, High Specification Footwear Available
Vibram® Soles
For the past 50 years, Vibram® has been a world leader in the development and manufacture of high-performance, high-specification rubber soles.
Vibram® soles were developed to elevate the safety and protection provided by footwear and are now known all over the world. This is because of Vibram’s constant commitment to research and development. Both dynamic and tough static tests are conducted in laboratory conditions, as well as in real world applications by the Vibram Tester Team to ensure their soles reach the highest standards.
GORE-TEX® Footwear
GORE-TEX® footwear is perfect for a huge range of workplace activity. Durably waterproof, GORE-TEX® shoes and boots are breathable with optimised climate control for extra comfort - whatever the weather.
They undergo rigorous testing to ensure that they meet these high standards - promising not only safety protection, but also comfort every time.
The Boa® Fit System
The Boa® Fit System is a patented footwear solution, consisting of three integral parts: high strength, lightweight laces, a micro-adjustable dial, and low-friction lace guides. Configuration are engineered to optimise fit and provide precision, adaptability and control.
Precision-engineered laces are contained inside each configuration, meaning they won’t get in the way of you or machinery. Built to perform in any environment, the Boa® Fit System's dial and laces are guaranteed for the lifetime of the product on which they are integrated.
Poron® XRD™ Foam
Poron® XRD™ foam is flexible under normal conditions and is comfortable and non-restrictive. However, upon sudden impact it instantly firms into a protective shield, absorbing the strike.
