WORK BOOTS / WELLINGTONS
EN ISO 20347

Wet, cold, dirt, manure - stable, yards, fields: there is almost no other sector that demands so much flexibility and functionality from humans and materials. Work boots have now become a permanent part of the agricultural sector. The shaft must be high and the material resistant, but they no longer need to be typical yellow wellingtons. Neoprene is now becoming very popular. The neoprene special work boots Fides are excellent examples of flexibility in various environments. This outer material made of breathable 5 mm thick neoprene can withstand temperatures of up to - 20 °C and is also 100% watertight. The anti-slip sub-structure with a good grip is partially resistant to manure, fertilisers and cleaning agents. Even if the demands made of the boots are not that extensive, some factors still need to be taken into account before buying a Wellington boot.

Depending on requirements, lined work boots are ideal for working in the winter, as they are waterproof. Boot socks are also a good solution for more warmth inside wellington boots.

The OB special work boots (for men and women) are white Wellingtons that are specially designed for the food processing industry. The heel and instep are reinforced, the soles are dirt-repellent and resistant to oils, grease, acids and lyes. Employees in the food industry, in dairy operations and in the meat and fish processing industries in particular often wear white Wellingtons. And of course boots worn for this length of time need to be comfortable. The special work boots for women and men all have a comfortable wedged heel. The shafts of the men models can be shortened to 26 cm, which offers added comfort in work Wellingtons.

The basic class OB for work boots has been expanded in the engelbert strauss range to include the protection class O4 - version II is a special standard for full rubber shoes or full polymer shoes.

Work boots of the latest class: the protection class O4 II governs the properties of polymer shoes without toe caps. A higher shaft, waterproof outer material – only work wellingtons / boots made of plastic are covered by the O4 class. The special neoprene Fides work boots are a perfect example of rubber wellingtons that are both comfortable and durable. Antistatic and energy absorption properties in the heel area are mandatory for all O4 models.
