Waterproof safety boot
A Lightyear Waterproof Safety Boot has been launched by PK Safety, the PPE specialist based in Abercynon, South Wales.
The model BX-700 Voyager Boot provides total water protection and is suitable for outdoor environments where workers may be exposed to excessively wet and muddy conditions, including the recycling, waste, utilities industries.
As with all Lightyear Safety Footwear, the Voyager Safety Boot has a non-metallic composite toe cap and midsole. This is claimed to make the safety boot ultra-light and more comfortable than safety boots with steel toecaps.
There is a 100% waterproof membrane to resist any moisture ingress. The sole is made of slip resistant PU double density material rated to SRC with an anti-slip sole pattern, which means it has been tested with soap on a ceramic tile and glycerol on a steel surface. The overall safety rating of the Voyager Safety Boot is EN20345 S3 WR SRC.
For comfort, the Voyageur Safety Boot is constructed out of smooth leather with a mesh inlays with a padded tongue and collar. A scuff cap protector provides added durability. The heel of the safety boot has a hard wearing rubber support system with a shock absorbent comfort footbed.
