Rock Fall launch new Vixen safety footwear
Company introduces world’s first specialist range of ladies safety footwear products
ROCK Fall (UK) Ltd, a leading global manufacturer of innovative safety footwear, have launched a new range of boots, shoes and trainers shaped specifically to suit women’s feet and sizes.
Working closely with major distributors from the safety supplies industry, Rock Fall have ensured their new Vixen range of footwear provides better fitting, comfort and, ultimately, optimal safety to women wearers.
Rockfall made their name through a number of ‘firsts’ in the safety footwear industry, including the world’s first boot to feature a composite internal metatarsal protector exceeding European S3 safety standards, and the Alaska boot which protects feet from cold as low as –40 degrees Centigrade.
The ladies safety footwear products all have toecap and midsole protection to EN ISO 20345:2011 standard. Using materials such as full grain leather, nubuck and suede, they are lined with breathable moisture-wicking fabrics, featuring a shock absorbing anti-fatigue foot-bed for comfort.
The range features different styles to suit all industries, including a safety boot for working within the construction and rail industries. The Vixen footwear styles are all named after jewels and include: lace-up shoes; wedged court shoes; and lightweight, flexible boots and trainers.
Richard Noon, sales director at Rock Fall, commented: ‘Women are entering manufacturing, construction, engineering and other professions operating in hazardous environments at a higher rate than ever before. Working closely with our clients we strive to ensure all our footwear is fit for purpose.
‘Until now, women have had to wear boots in the nearest male size to their own. By launching the Vixen range, women can now wear safety footwear that complements the shape of their feet and in their own size. Wearing better fitting footwear ultimately means more comfort and, most importantly, improved safety.’
