Safety Gumboots

At Neptun Boot, we pride ourselves on our reputed safety gumboots. Our Stimela gumboots are a benchmark for safety gumboots in Southern Africa and are recognised worldwide for their patented metatarsal protector.

This is an in-depth guide into the various safety features that make our Stimela and Stimela XP ranges first-class safety gumboots.

Complete Protection Of the Foot

Our knee-length Stimela safety gumboots are made from PVC for the advantage of being waterproof and lightweight. Variations of our Stimela range include steel toe caps, steel midsoles and metatarsal protectors.

Our Stimela XP range includes a metal-free option with composite toe caps, anti-penetration textile midsoles, and metatarsal protection. These safety gumboots are metal free – allowing for easy passage through environments where security and metal detectors are in use.

Safety Gumboot Toe Protection

Our Stimela and Stimela XP range have been tested under severe mining conditions to ensure the full protection of the wearer’s feet. Each Stimela gumboot has a steel toe cap with a 200-joules impact pressure resistance to protect the foot from heavy falling objects. The Stimela XP safety gumboot has a metal-free option with a composite toe cap also made to withstand a pressure force of 200 joules.

Safety Gumboot Front And Bottom Protection

For further protection, our Stimela safety gumboots can also include a steel midsole that protects the front and bottom of the foot from puncture injuries. For a metal-free option, our Stimela XP gumboots can include an anti-penetration textile midsole.

Safety Gumboot Top Protection

Our Stimela gumboots are recognised worldwide for its patented metatarsal protector. The Stimela XP gumboot also has a fully integrated metatarsal protector. The metatarsal protector ensures heavy-duty protection of the top of the foot from falling objects and has an impact resistance of 100 joules.

Additional Safety Features

Our Stimela and Stimela XP safety gumboots have been created specifically with the mining industry in mind. In addition to protecting the entire foot from dangerous workplace hazards, they also have:

• Ankle reflectors for better visibility in low visibility conditions.

• Good grip and sole support allow miners to maintain sure footing while constantly walking over loose rocks and gravel.

• Ankle protection technology.

At Neptun, we have formulated a range of safety gumboots that are not only comfortable, waterproof, and hardy but also offer complete protection for the foot.
