Farmers fed up falling in frozen farmyards are making this a best ever winter for Bekina wellie boot sales.

“Featuring a sole flat to the ground Bekina Steplite X boots give extra grip as they are manufactured using a new mould to maximise contact by not curving away from the ground at the front,” says Bekina’s Irish sales manager Brecht Debruyne.

“Up to a third of injuries in Irish agriculture are caused by falls in wet or freezing conditions so Bekina Steplite X boots are designed to reduce the risk of slipping.

“Our boots, developed with the help of farmers for farmers, are manufactured from PU, Polyurethane, rather than traditional rubber or PVC. This 40% lighter Polyurethane is a foamed material containing trapped air bubbles to increase insulation.

“Wider fitting for extra comfort Bekina Steplite X boots come with a free pair of insulated, moisture absorbent insoles that are easily removed for washing.”



For those working long hours in cold conditions Bekina offer their Thermolite boots launched at The Ploughing in Athy. Thicker soles and uppers on Thermolite boots, also manufactured using Polyurethane, make them suitable winter wear down to a marrow chilling minus 40C! A popular choice, claims Brecht, with dairy farmers and vets.
