When it comes to developing safety footwear, Bata Industrials is casting beyond the borders of its own work area. The most recent evidence of this are safety shoes equipped with the unique and patented Boa lacing system. This is a system that finally puts an end to the traditional shoelace, guarantees a perfect fit, and ensures that the wearer literally acquires a ‘firm footing’ throughout the entire working day.
The system consists of a lace reel, a sturdy stainless steel lace and flexible lace guides which results in a secure fastening and even pressure distribution. This prevents the constriction of circulation in the foot, and the wearer can hardly tell he or she is wearing shoes. Other benefits are:
- The end of untied laces; a major cause of trip-and-fall incidents on the work floor.
- Quickly put on; a quick turn of the lace reel enables to attain the perfect fastening and fit with an easy click.
- Quick release; by moving the reel forwards, the shoe may be removed in a single motion.
- If the upper part of the shoe becomes stretched in the course of a working day, a quick turn of the reel ensures a perfect fastening and fit of the shoe.
Traxx models Traxx 212, 213 and 214 are equipped with the Boa lacing system.
The Boa lacing system was invented by Boa Technology Inc., a company located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, USA. (See www.boatechnology.com).
