Work in the agricultural sector continues through the winter. Manure, mud, rain and ice create wet, dirty and cold working conditions. This calls for a good pair of waterproof work boots with high slip resistance and which are warm and comfortable even in cold temperatures, and also guarantee safety. Rubber gumboots may seem like a logical choice, until you try Bekina NEOTANE polyurethane gumboots! The positive ratings and 5-star reviews from our customers are the best proof that our NEOTANE farming boots surpass the classic rubber gumboot in many respects.
Bekina Boots are not rubber, but made of quality NEOTANE. This high-quality polyurethane was developed by Bekina and, combined with their technical knowledge and experience, makes these gumboots stronger, more comfortable, more flexible and better-insulating than rubber or PVC gumboots.
Our range of Bekina gumboots are SRC (Slip Resistance Classification) certified and tested in the Bekina lab. Of course, lab conditions cannot always be compared with real working conditions. Based on feedback from farmers, Bekina continuously works to improve their gumboots year after year to make them more slip-resistant, warmer and more ergonomic. After all, gumboots for farming should not only be safe, but also comfortable. You walk around in them all day and don’t want sore feet to ruin your motivation to work. Fortunately, Bekina Boots are very light, which means you are less likely to feel tired. Thanks to the kick-off spur at the back of the gumboot, you can also remove them quickly and easily without much fuss – extra handy!
Bekina has also developed different types of gumboots for men and women working in farming. No rubber boots for us but, rather, quality safety NEOTANE with and without a steel toe cap. From the Steplite EasyGrip available without safety toe cap and midsole (O4), with steel toe cap (S4) and with steel toe cap and midsole (S5) to the Thermolite IceShield (S5), they all have a high thermal insulation value.
The StepliteX ThermoProtec insulates down to -40 °C. The extra-thick sole not only offers extra protection against the cold, but also has a shock-absorbing effect. The StepliteX ThermoProtec is often chosen for use in the dairy shed, where the farmer stands still for a long time on a cold concrete floor. This gumboot comes with a non-metallic protective toe cap and midsole (S5).
But the real powerhouse in this range is the Thermolite IceShield, which makes agricultural work in extreme cold just that little bit more comfortable thanks to its thermal insulation value all the way down to -50 °C. This boot is also equipped with a steel toe cap and midsole (S5).
One of the striking features of Bekinas thermal gumboots is their increased comfort. And not just because they guarantee warmth and are 100% waterproof. Made of NEOTANE polyurethane, they remain flexible even at extremely cold temperatures and retain their suppleness. In addition, they are up to half a kilogram lighter than thermal gumboots made from other materials such as rubber and PVC. If you walk around in them for a whole day, it can really make a difference because you experience less pain and fatigue in your legs. The safety material of Bekina gumboots is encapsulated in the polyurethane, which increases comfort and prevents any feeling of cold.
