About Us

The Highest Specifications

Our category leading dielectric footwear is used globally to protect high voltage workers and our Hazmax™ boots are used wherever people work with dangerous or aggressive chemicals.

We have developed a new compound, Cryolite – a lightweight, environmentally friendly material for boots used in agriculture, food processing and general industry. Additionally our new Cryotuff compound delivers durable cut resistant footwear for longer life in tough environments. Cryotuff boots include a blown mid-sole for reduced weight and greater cushioning to reduce wearer fatigue.
