Metatarsal Protector

The Shosholoza gumboot’s unique metatarsal protector is patented by Neptun Boot and ensures that the top of the foot is protected for wearers who work in high-risk environments, such as the mining industry.

The black and grey Shosholoza boot with an orange dot features our patented metatarsal protector, as well as a steel toe, while the black and grey Shosholoza boot with a green dot features the metatarsal protector, a steel toe, and a steel protective midsole.

The white and grey Shosholoza boot includes all the safety options and is ideal for high visibility, making it especially effective in low light environments such as the mining industry.

Steel Toe

Every Shosholoza gumboot features steel toe cap protection to safeguard the wearer from dangerous workplace hazards. A steel toe not only prevents injuries but also protects the wearer from a wide range of other underground hazards.

Steel Midsole

A protective, puncture-resistant steel midsole is essential to protect the wearer from the risk of being injured by sharp workplace hazards. A range of Shosholoza gumboots feature steel midsoles for optimum protection which work in combination with other safety features to ensure the wearer stays safe.
