Step Strong, Work Safe, Bootplace
Common problems in the use of footwear in mining
1. Deformation of the footwear or loss of structure
Hard work and harsh terrain quickly wear down footwear. When a boot loses its structure, it no longer provides adequate protection and compromises the worker's posture, support, and safety.
2. Lack of comfort during long workdays
The staff works long shifts. Footwear lacking ergonomics, proper structure, and adequate cushioning causes fatigue, pain in the feet, knees, and back, which decreases operational performance and increases the risk of injury.
3. Soles with poor traction or premature wear
On uneven, wet, or mineral-covered surfaces, a sole without traction can cause slips or accidents. Furthermore, if the sole wears out quickly, the boot will need to be replaced prematurely, impacting your budget.
What should a good mining boot have?
1. Strong structure
Solid construction (ideally Goodyear Welt) that maintains its shape and support on hard terrain and long days.
2. Protective helmet
Made of steel or polyamide, depending on the level of risk. Essential to prevent injuries from impact or compression.
3. Quality sole
Rubber, polyurethane or dual density (PU+TPU) to prevent slipping on wet, rocky or mineral-debris surfaces.
4. Abrasion and wear resistance
At the toe and sole. Boots must withstand wear and tear, and a Kevlar protector (Kevlar, rubber) is excellent for extending their lifespan.
5. Comfort and ergonomics
Insoles with arch support, a wide fit, and internal cushioning. Key to preventing fatigue and musculoskeletal injuries.
6. Breathable and durable materials
An inner lining that allows ventilation without retaining moisture. Ideally made of genuine leather or high-density textile lining.
7. Suitable height for support and protection
From 6", 8" to 12" to protect ankles and calves from impacts, chemical splashes or fine dust.
8. Dielectric (when applicable)
For environments where work is done near electrical equipment or energized lines.
9. Oil resistant
Soles and materials that resist oils, hydrocarbons, water, mud, stones or extreme temperatures.
10. Easy maintenance and replacement
That they can be easily cleaned and have replacement availability without changing models.
Below, we present a selection of recommended models for mining.
10" Roper Boot
Designed for long days with comfort and shock absorption.
- Roper 10 Boot": Greater comfort for walking on uneven terrain, more room for toes due to the rounded toe.
- Goodyear Welt construction : greater durability, structural strength and better shock absorption in the foot strike.
- Leather lining : breathability, durability.
- Medium-density polyurethane outsole with mud trap : excellent shock absorption, superior comfort and reliable traction.
- Polyamide (composite) helmet : lightweight, dielectric, non-metallic and thermal.
A boot with very high-quality materials and excellent top-of-the-range performance. Comfortable, durable, and reliable for everyday work.
6" Moc Toe Boot
Designed to withstand demanding conditions without compromising protection or structure.
- 6-inch Moc Toe design : greater mobility without sacrificing support.
- Dual density sole (PU + RUBBER) with mud trap: prevents accumulation of debris and improves traction.
- Composite Toe safety toe : lightweight, non-metallic and dielectric.
- Reinforced laces (50% Kevlar / 50% polyester) : high resistance to wear and cuts.
- 380 g/m² textile lining : ultra-dense, thermal, friction-resistant and with a firm fit for greater stability.
- Dielectric properties and oil resistance : total protection in electrical or hydrocarbon environments.
- Goodyear Welt construction : a mechanical bond that reinforces the boot's structure, allowing for greater durability and stability on uneven terrain. Ideal for prolonged heavy-duty work.
8" Lacer Rodeo Boot
Designed for long days with comfort and shock absorption.
- Lacer Rodeo 8 inch : greater ankle support and protection on uneven terrain, more room for toes due to square toe.
- Goodyear Welt construction : greater durability, structural strength and better shock absorption in the foot strike.
- Leather lining + dust cover : breathability, durability and barrier against dust and debris.
- Medium-density polyurethane outsole with mud trap : excellent shock absorption, superior comfort and reliable traction.
- Orange elements on the sole : immediate visibility in the field, ideal for crews or personnel on the move.
- Polyamide (composite) helmet : lightweight, dielectric, non-metallic and thermal.
A boot with very good quality materials and excellent performance for its price. Comfortable, durable, and reliable for everyday work.
8” Lacer boot with rubber sole
Designed for high-wear environments where traction, strength and protection are required.
- 8-inch Lacer : Greater coverage and ankle support, ideal for uneven terrain.
- Goodyear Welt construction : solid and durable structure, suitable for heavy-duty work and repairable in case of wear and tear.
- Rubber sole resistant to oils, abrasion and high temperatures : excellent traction on slippery or contaminated surfaces.
- Reinforced and breathable leather inner lining : keeps the foot drier and more protected, even in wet or hot conditions.
- Polyamide (composite) helmet: lightweight , dielectric, non-metallic, and impact-resistant. It does not conduct heat or electricity, making it ideal for environments with electrical or thermal hazards.
This model is designed for extreme conditions. Its rubber sole offers the highest level of durability and grip.
6” boot with Kevlar protector and PU/TPU sole
Designed to withstand continuous front-end wear.
- 6-inch boot : provides mobility and comfort, with adequate protection.
- Kevlar front protector : reinforces the impact zone and prevents the polyamide helmet from being exposed due to skin wear.
- Polyamide (composite) helmet : lightweight, dielectric and impact resistant, with no temperature transmission.
- Goodyear Welt construction : reinforced structure, greater stability and possibility of repair.
- Dual density PU/TPU sole : soft inner base for comfort, outer layer resistant to wear and lighter than rubber.
- Robust and functional design : ideal for crews that drag points or work on abrasive surfaces.
The model's Kevlar protector and Goodyear Welt construction make it a durable, stable, and cost-effective long-term option.
With these models you can cover any sector within mining operations, according to the type of work to be done.
