Oliver Footwear has released two safety footwear products which incorporate a metatarsal guard, manufactured from an engineering plastic that protects the metatarsal bones of the foot.

Both styles, lace-up and an elastic-sided boot, are designed for use in hot industrial environments including steel or aluminium smelters, casting and rolling mills and similar workplaces.

The footwear range is heat resistant to 300°C in accord with the immersion requirements of ISO 8782-19 and the Aluminium Pot Room Test Method (29CFR 1910-136).

The lace-up style, ankle height, Softtrac dual density rubber soled boot is fully lined with a padded comfort collar and has a prominent rubber toe bumper to ensure a long useful life.

Features include the wide profile Natureform Type 1 safety toecap, while the leather material is flame resistant to the ISO 6940 Standard as well as the NFPA Protective Footwear for Firefighting 1992 Edition.

Use of the Softtrac dual density rubber sole affords comfort with the sole resistant to chemical attack and resistance to acids, alkalis, fats and oils, with resistance to cutting and abrasion and slip resistance.

The footwear range also employs the Powerflex impact absorption system to protect the heel and the ball of the foot through the Poron cellular urethane which protects the heel and ball of the foot with cushioning and shock absorption to reduce foot, leg and lower back fatigue.
