Collection: Water Resistance (WR, WPA, WRU)

The WR marking indicates that the boots are waterproof. This means that the upper and sole of the boots are designed to prevent water from penetrating, ensuring that your feet stay dry even in wet working conditions. WR boots are tested to meet strict water resistance standards, ensuring long-term protection against moisture.

Main Features:

1. Water Resistance: The upper part of the shoe and the sole are made of materials that prevent water from penetrating inside, thus protecting the feet from urine.
2. Testing: WR boots are tested according to EN ISO 20345 standards to ensure their water resistance. This includes various tests such as a flexibility test and a water contact test to check that water does not penetrate the inside of the boots.
3. Comfort and Functionality: WR boots not only protect against water, but also ensure that your feet remain comfortable and dry throughout the workday. This is especially important when working in wet conditions, where moisture can cause discomfort and health problems.

Areas of Use:

• Construction Jobs: Workers working outdoors often encounter wet and muddy conditions, making waterproof shoes essential.
• Agriculture: Farmers and agricultural workers often work in wet fields and other humid environments.
• Industrial Cleaning Jobs: Workers who frequently work with water or wet cleaning products should have shoes that protect against moisture.

Additional Benefits:

• Puncture Protection: Most WR boots also have puncture resistance, protecting against sharp objects.
• Antistatic Properties: Some WR boots also have antistatic properties, protecting against electrical discharge.
• Durability: High-quality materials ensure that the shoes are durable and long-lasting, even in difficult working conditions.

Standards:

• EN ISO 20345: This standard defines safety requirements for work footwear in Europe, including requirements for a waterproof upper, which is necessary to obtain the WR marking.
