You may have used rubber and PVC work boots during your career; these are the most common materials in safety footwear. However, after a decade of research and innovation, Bekina Boots has introduced a new work boot material called NEOTANE. This proprietary polyurethane, developed in-house by Bekina, sets a new industry standard by delivering superior comfort, durability, and protection compared to traditional boot materials.
NEOTANE is not an ordinary polyurethane. A custom blend of two chemicals creates a lightweight foam filled with millions of tiny air bubbles. The result is a boot material that outperforms standard polyurethane, rubber, and PVC.
Our NEOTANE waterproof work boots come with or without steel toe or composite toe caps. They stay flexible and comfortable in all temperatures. This makes them great for long shifts and tough work environments.

1. Fewer injuries
Slips and falls are a primary cause of workplace injuries and deaths. Bekina Boots certifies its NEOTANE boots for superior slip resistance. Slip-resistant boots prevent injuries and keep workers safe. Our non-slip work boots are compliant with the latest EN ISO 20345:2022 (SR) .
Workers report feeling less tired and more comfortable during long shifts, even in tough conditions. Comfortable work boots mean increased productivity, improved morale, and enhanced retention.
The smooth, skinned surface of NEOTANE boots does not allow dirt or bacteria to hide. This makes them easy to clean and disinfect. These safety boots are perfect for places where biosecurity and food safety are very important.
While NEOTANE boots may cost a bit more upfront, they last up to 4x longer than rubber boots or PVC boots. This means fewer replacements, less downtime, and less waste - saving you money in the long run.
NEOTANE work boots meet the highest safety standards. We offer EN ISO 20345:2022 (+A1:2024) certified boots, making Bekina Boots a trusted choice for men and women.
Is NEOTANE the same as rubber or PVC?
NEOTANE boots may look like regular rubber or PVC boots. However, NEOTANE boots are made from a high-quality polyurethane (PU) and offer significantly greater comfort, flexibility, and durability.
Are NEOTANE boots the same as classic polyurethane boots?
No. These are not your typical classic polyurethane (PU) boots. Our proprietary polyurethane blends two chemicals, bringing this material to an even more advanced level.
How do NEOTANE boots provide better comfort?
NEOTANE boots are up to 40% lighter than rubber boots and PVC boots. They provide better comfort and help reduce fatigue for workers who stand for extended periods. While still guaranteeing a high level of safety.
Are NEOTANE boots more expensive?
While the upfront cost of NEOTANE boots is often higher than alternatives, NEOTANE lasts longer than rubber or PVC. This means you need fewer replacements and less time ordering and changing boots. This brings a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Overall, NEOTANE boots are more cost-effective over time.
Do I need extra insulation or liners to prevent cold feet?
No. NEOTANE’s special foam structure provides insulation. This means you don’t need extra liners that can hold dirt and bacteria. NEOTANE boots keep your feet warm in temperatures as low as -22°F (-30°C). They ensure the inside temperature does not drop more than 50°F (10°C) after half an hour of work in cold conditions. At the same time, NEOTANE boots are breathable, helping to prevent sweaty feet.
NEOTANE by Bekina Boots is changing what professional wearers expect from their work boots. They provide superior comfort, durability, and safety compared to standard rubber or PVC boot alternatives.
