Tough but stylish ankle boots

ESAB's new Ankle Boots are claimed to look as stylish as a slip on shoe, yet they offer resistance to crush and shock as well as protection against slipping fall risks.

Lightweight and comfortable, they are also hard and flexible, with a leather inner lining, an XXL steel toe cap and steel midsoles.

The high protection PU2D sole is capable of resisting temperatures of 180°C and there is a close back part, anti static and shock absorbing heel.

High levels of grip are enhanced by cleats on the soles, and the shoes have water resistant uppers and penetration-resistant midsoles.
