The best safety boots for the fire brigade
Firefighter clothing must meet a number of strict requirements. Every firefighter regularly has to deal with dangerous situations and this requires protective clothing that employees in this industry can rely on. This includes flame-retardant work jackets, flame-retardant work trousers and flame-retardant overalls, but certainly also fire boots. Firefighter boots must be able to withstand fire and water as well as heat. After all, as a firefighter you have to deal with both fires and extinguishing water.
In fact, fire boots are lace-up boots with a zipper that meet additional safety requirements. This combination of closures allows you to simultaneously benefit from the security of laces and the convenience of a zipper. For example, if your safety boots need to be taken off immediately, you can step out of them after opening the side zipper. But ordinary lace-up boots with a zipper, which are usually rated S3 according to EN 20345, do not provide sufficient protection when exposed to high temperatures and flames. Firefighter boots are made of materials such as waterproof cowhide, which not only keep your feet dry, but are also adequately protected against the dangers of your work.
Firefighter boots according to standard 'EN ISO 15090:2012'
The fire brigade boots from the Unishore Workwear range correspond in many respects to S3 safety boots in terms of protective properties. Yet they do not receive this standard and this is due to the fact that there is a separate standard to certify footwear for firefighters: the EN ISO 15090:2012 standard. For approval in accordance with this standard, the fire brigade boots are extensively tested for their fire resistance and heat resistance. Naturally, we only include fire boots in the range at Unishore Bedrijfskleding when it has been proven that the boots provide the safety that can be expected of them in dangerous situations.
Ideally, the seams and laces are also made of fire-resistant material. For example, the Steitz Secura Fire Fighter fire boots come standard with laces that will not burn, but deform at a temperature above 300 °C. You will also find sufficient protection on the inside of all our fire boots. For example, our fire boots have a protective toe cap, so you don't have to worry about injury if your feet strike, ankle protection and a midsole that protects against perforation from below. The outsoles also have profiles, which ensures optimal grip. With the fire boots from the Unishore Bedrijfskleding webshop you are prepared for anything!
