Overland Shoes, the company behind Bobcat Safety Footwear, has emphasised the importance of workers choosing the right safety boots or shoes to help them cope with the heat.
The company has asserted the role that the right pair of safety boots or shoes can play in reducing heat, improving comfort and making long hot days feel more manageable.
Peter Lawson, Brand Manager at Overland Shoes, commented: “With the heat, feet tend to swell. That’s why for summer, it’s essential to wear extra comfortable and spacious shoes. Yet too often, workers stick with the same safety boots year-round, leading to foot fatigue, blisters, overheating and general discomfort – all of which make working in hot conditions even tougher.
“But there is a better approach to summer footwear. With our award-winning Bobcat Safety Footwear range, workers can take advantage of a range of proper summer boots and shoes which balance workplace safety standards with lightweight design, breathable materials and unmatched comfort, ensuring outdoor workers remain agile and protected during long, gruelling shifts.”
Bobcat Safety Footwear incorporates Redbacks® Leaf Spring Technology to absorb shock, reduce fatigue and provide all-day support for feet, knees, and back.
Among the company’s range it points to solutions including the Knox, an athletic-inspired work trainer made from lightweight, breathable nylon and featuring a FITLOCK speed-lacing system for a secure, easy, and comfortable fit throughout the day.
Equally, it says, the Rockford is a durable, lightweight trainer-style shoe designed with a reinforced woven nylon upper and rubber toe guards to deliver all-day comfort and protection shift after shift.
Peter adds: “With the arrival of Bobcat Safety Footwear, there’s now an opportunity for workers to rethink their summer footwear choices and opt for solutions that better support comfort, protection and performance in hotter conditions amid what promises to be another summer scorcher.”
