RANGE REVIEW: SECURITY & SAFETY
With a focus on comfort and S3 safety, SOLID GEAR’s Falcon and Apollo boots are probably the most robust boots you can get for the winter months, says the company. With durable uppers, these heavy-duty boots will keep users’ feet dry and insulated so they can work comfortably in the roughest conditions on site. What’s more, the new oil- and slip-resistant Vibram soles deliver outstanding grip on snow and ice – even at low temperatures. The Apollo has a premium full-grain impregnated leather upper while the Falcon is a mix of full grain leather and a Cordura Rip Stop fabric. Both boots deliver better water repellency and breathability than many other boots, while their fiberglass toecaps feature multilayer technology for a roomier toe box, while the new thinner and stronger composite plates add extra flexibility. There are over 30 boots and shoes in the Solid Gear Safety Footwear range, all of which integrate modern designs and sporty looks with best in class materials for comfort, protection and durability. n 01484 854788 n

DR. MARTENS, iconic British footwear brand, is bucking the trend for women in industry, with the launch of its unique women’s industrial collection, offering female workers a choice of boots, without needing to compromise on safety. In recent years, more women have decided to embark on careers within typically male dominated industries such as construction, engineering, manufacturing and trade. However, despite being exposed to the same risks, they are rarely supported by the Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) available. The choice for women working within hazardous environments has famously been limited, resulting in women wearing safety footwear that has not been specifically designed with them in mind. To help encourage and support females in industry, Dr. Martens new Women’s Collection ensures women are actually given a choice of protection, style and colour for their footwear, and no longer have to compromise. The innovative collection includes: Maple- A classic 8-eyelet lace up steel-toe work boot, the Maple is designed with soft leather and heat-sealed uppers. The padded tongue ensures comfort, as well as the SoftWair sock liner delivering extra cushioning at the heel. Arbor- This classic Chelsea work boot has a steel toe cap with soft leather uppers that are heat-sealed with a PVC outsole that is durable. The SoftWair sock liner also delivers extra cushioning at the heel and forefoot, while the raised grid pattern promotes underfoot airflow to keep feet dry and comfortable. n 0845 437 3141
