Goliath Footwear have launched the most flexible and comfortable public order boot approved to the public order footwear standard BS7971-5:2004.

Goliath aimed to produce a tough, protective anti-riot boot that would be flexible enough to drive in. So using technical skill learned by supplying the military sector, the public order boot was designed with a dual density rubber (DDR) sole unit which is durable and tough enough to withstand instances of heat (300°C) and contaminant such as petrol, but flexible and comfortable enough to wear for long periods. Coupled with this is an innovative ‘Lenzie’ puncture resistant textile midsole with 100% foot coverage offering the best flexibility and protection versus steel. A cushioned open cell PU footbed and deep padded soft collar provide further comfort features.

The public order boot protects from missiles and other hazards by way of a resilient steel toe cap and a cut resistant material running around the outside of boot and across the vamp. All laces and thread are flame retardant and all seams are downward facing to aid petrol run off. Ankles are protected by shock absorbing disks and a reinforced heel counter for better stability and support.

‘By combining the technologies of DDR and Lenzie, this boot is a real revolution in occupational footwear design.’ says Steve Hall, Sales and Marketing Director.

The new ‘Control’ boot is now available in men's and ladies sizes and is currently being offered to Police forces nationwide for purchase or trial. This product will be available to see at HOSDB 2010 where Goliath will be exhibiting, or further details can obtained by calling 0845 330 6430.
