There are two main types of heat resistant outsoles commonly used in work boots:
-
Nitrile/Synthetic Rubber Outsoles
- Heat resistant up to 300°C (572°F)
- Superior heat protection
- Used in Ergonx work boots
-
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) Outsoles
- Heat resistant up to 120°C
- Less heat resistant
- More commonly found in standard work boots
Why Heat Resistance Matters
Heat resistant outsoles are crucial for workers in:
- Bitumen laying
- Boilermaking
- Welding environments
- Areas with frequent exposure to sparks
- High-temperature industrial settings
Without proper heat resistance, your boot's outsole could melt and deteriorate, compromising both safety and durability.

- Built-in orthotic arch support for proper foot alignment
- Cushioned midsole for shock absorption
- Roomy fit preventing foot compression
- 300°C heat resistant outsoles for maximum protection

Superior Support Means Better Productivity
When your feet are properly supported, you'll experience:
- Reduced foot fatigue
- Better stability
- Enhanced comfort throughout long shifts
- Decreased risk of foot-related issues
