The Dromex Black Unisex Armour Gumboots are heavy-duty, general-purpose safety boots designed for harsh working environments. They are a staple in South African mining, agriculture, and construction because they offer a balance between rugged protection and all-day comfort.
1. Key Features & Specifications
These aren’t your standard garden rain boots; they are engineered for industrial safety:
- Material: Made from a specialized PVC/Nitrile blend, which makes them resistant to fats, oils, and certain chemicals.
- Steel Toe Cap (STC): Most “Armour” models come with an internal steel toe cap rated to 200 Joules, protecting your feet from falling objects.
- Steel Midsole (Optional): Some variants include a steel under-sole to prevent “nail-on-foot” puncture injuries.
- Anti-Static & Slip Resistant: The sole is designed with a deep tread pattern to provide grip on muddy or oily surfaces and to dissipate static electricity.
- Ankle Protection: Features reinforced ribbing around the ankle and shin to protect against side impacts.
2. Safety Compliance (SABS/ISO)
To be used on a professional site in South Africa, these boots carry specific certifications:
- SANS/ISO 20345:2014: The international standard for personal protective equipment (safety footwear).
- CE Approved: Meeting European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.
