Rubber Footwear

Rubber footwear comprises rubber shoes and boots widely used in various industries. These shoes are specially designed to be worn in corrosive environments, especially in chemical industry and mines. With its reinforced heel and toe, rubber footwear is designed to stand up to tough daily wear. That's why these shoes are considered the industry standard. Rubber has been used in the shaft and bottom of industrial boots to reduce the weight and improve the durability. These rubber shoes contribute comfort, hot and cold-temperature resistance, aesthetics and longevity all while reducing cycle times and improving lot-to-lot quality.
