Complete your fishing rainwear with our fishing boots
Although fishing is an ancient profession, as a fisherman you need modern and high-quality equipment that makes your hard job at sea (or in aquaculture) easier. Here we’re not just talking about the boat and your tools, but also about your clothes, and more specifically: rainwear for fishing.
Commercial rainwear protects you from the extreme conditions you brave to supply us with fresh fish. Naturally, what immediately comes to mind is wet, cold weather. From American fisherman’s overalls (also known as ‘bibs’) to a warm, heavy-duty fishing jacket: they all add an extra layer of comfort and safety that’s crucial for your work at sea. But deck boots or fishing boots are also an important part of your equipment. In bad weather, you not only want to wear the right clothes, but also keep your feet dry and avoid slipping on the deck.
So why not choose the best and safest fishing boots on the market? Of course you can opt for the classic rubber fishing boots, but have you heard about the NEOTANE boots made by the Belgian firm Bekina Boots? NEOTANE is a high-quality polyurethane material developed by Bekina Boots to produce sturdy, light and durable boots.
We designed the StepliteX StormGrip especially for the fishing industry, a fishing boot that meets all the safety and comfort requirements for use at sea. These fishing boots have the edge over other boots because they:
- are 100% waterproof and therefore keep your feet dry and warm;
- have an SRC-certified sole that provides excellent grip and more stability on wet and/or greasy surfaces;
- have a yellow rubber pad that provides even more grip, abrasion resistance and soft cushioning;
- have a closed rim to avoid net trapping;
- provide extra comfort thanks to the wider shaft;
- are resistant to (fish) oils, fats and chemicals, and therefore last longer.
In addition, you can buy the StepliteX StormGrip without the safety toe cap (O4 level) or equipped with a non-metallic toe cap and midsole (S5 level). By the way, for this version we use composite (non-metallic) safety material rather than steel, because your fishing boots are in constant contact with salt water and steel is susceptible to corrosion.
Bekina Boots are not only safer; they are also the most comfortable boots for fishing. Why? Polyurethane is a light and flexible material, which ensures your legs don’t get as tired in these fishing boots, and you also experience more freedom of movement. The wider fit also means you don’t feel any constriction around your feet or calves and you can still pull your fishing trousers over your boots to prevent water from getting in. And, of course, Bekina Boots fishing boots will keep your feet nice and warm, even in extreme winter temperatures. StepliteX StormGrip fishing boots insulate at temperatures as low as -40 °F.
