The Stimela Gumboot: Setting a new standard in safety footwear

Designed with the wearer’s protection in mind, this mining gumboot safeguards the wearers’ feet from dangerous workplace hazards. The Stimela gumboot has a steel toe cap with a 200-joule impact pressure resistance to protect the foot from heavy objects that may accidentally fall on the wearer’s feet and crush toes.

The Stimela green dot gumboot has a steel mid-sole, a vital component in safety footwear, particularly in hazardous environments such as the mining and construction industry. Designed to protect the wearer’s feet from potential punctures caused by sharp objects. The steel mid-sole acts as a barrier between the ground and the sole of the foot providing an added layer of protection.

When it comes to safety footwear that excels in demanding work environments, this gumboot stands out as a true industry leader with its unique metatarsal protector that Neptun has patented.

The metatarsal protector ensures that the top of the foot is protected (metatarsal bones and joints) from sudden impacts and direct trauma from heavy falling objects with an impact resistance of 100 joules.

Additionally, the slip-resistant sole and excellent grip ensures stability and reduces the risk of accidents caused by wet, slippery underground conditions. Not only does this mining gumboot prioritize safety, but it also prioritizes comfort. Its ergonomic design and cushioned ankle protector make it suitable for long hours of wear, minimizing fatigue.

The Stimela Gumboot, with its unmatched safety features, is the go-to choice for safety footwear in demanding industries.
