The boot has been awarded the prestigious [Red Dot Award: Product Design](https://www.red-dot.org/project/steplites-cleangrip-87711), an international award for outstanding design and innovation.  Design that goes a step further The Red Dot Award is presented worldwide to products that excel in design, functionality and innovation. In the case of the [StepliteS CleanGrip](https://www.bekina-boots.com/en-gb/boot-advisor/food-processing~478/product/steplites-cleangrip-non-metallic-toe-cap-s4-white~2278/), this means a perfect balance between safety, comfort and elegant design – combined with outstanding performance that surpasses current boots on the market and existing standards. ## Specially designed to meet the needs of the food industry The StepliteS CleanGrip has been specifically developed for professionals in the food sector. Every detail of the boot contributes to an efficient and safe working environment. What really sets this boot apart is its design, which helps prevent the industry’s biggest safety risks. Its integrated features make the StepliteS CleanGrip not just a boot, but a well-thought-out PPE that actively contributes to comfort, productivity and safety in the workplace. - Knife Drop Protection (patent-pending): unique instep protection against falling sharp objects – exceeding current standards - SR-certified sole with top performance in terms of slip resistance - results above the market average (74% better than the standard) - ESD functionality – protection of sensitive equipment (up to 10 times faster dissipation of static electricity compared to antistatic) ## Sustainable design with an impact All Bekina Boots are made from [NEOTANE®](https://www.bekina-boots.com/en-gb/about-us/neotane/), a sustainable PU material developed in-house, which makes the boots flexible, lightweight and insulating, and also ensures they last up to four times longer than rubber or PVC alternatives. That means a smart investment, both economically and ecologically, with: - Fewer replacements - Less waste - Lower total cost of ownership The StepliteS CleanGrip is also available in an [eco version](https://www.bekina-boots.com/en-gb/boot-advisor/food-processing~478/product/steplites-cleangrip-neotane-eco-non-metallic-toe-cap-s4-white~2392/), made with [NEOTANE® ECO](https://www.bekina-boots.com/en-gb/about-us/neotane/). It offers the same robust features as NEOTANE® but with an extra sustainable dimension: - 50% reduction in CO2 emissions - Renewable raw materials using a mix of fossil and organic sources supported by a certified allocation method - Actively contributes to reducing scope 3 emissions ## Conclusion As a [family business](https://www.bekina-boots.com/en-gb/about-us/who-we-are/) with over 60 years of expertise, Bekina Boots remains committed to innovation and craftsmanship. The Red Dot Award confirms that this approach works: Belgian know-how that is recognised worldwide. With the StepliteS CleanGrip, Bekina Boots proves that design is more than just appearance.
