For 45 years, we’ve used our expertise to provide innovative and superior safety footwear to many industries, and we have become a trusted gumboot supplier in South Africa and across the world.
Starting in 1977 supplying the agriculture and general industry with PVC gumboots, we have since expanded our range, offering a wide variety of industries with trusted safety footwear protection.
As a company, Neptun Boot has been able to grow substantially since 1977, with the innovative products that we have been able to design and manufacture here in South Africa. This really does make us proud South Africans to be a part of this. We have had incredible support since we implemented our Support Local initiative alongside other initiatives like our Cradle to Grave recycling project.
We need South Africans to continue to support not only us but all locally manufactured products in South Africa. As we see local industries grow, it creates opportunity for “new” suppliers. We are trying our best as a company to support other local suppliers as well as develop current suppliers to manufacture items that we as a country don’t currently make.
We are confident that South Africans have what it takes to become leading manufactures in most products if we support each other.
Neptun has won the prestigious DISA AWARD (Design Institute South Africa) in 2007 for our Heavy Duty gumboot in the Mining and Industrial Category. This gave us the right to use the DISA logo in advertising and promotional material.
At Neptun Boot, we’re committed to producing superior footwear protection, implementing safety features to ensure that you’re protected. Having worked closely with underground mines in South Africa and around the world, we have learned how to improve the safety features of our heavy duty mining gumboots to prevent injuries that wearers experience on a day-to-day basis. We’ve taken feedback directly from the wearer and implemented the necessary features to keep their feet protected while working in dangerous areas or environments.
With this information and years of experience in safety footwear, we developed our unique metatarsal protection in PVC gumboots - a world first, setting us apart from the rest of the industry. This unique integrated metatarsal design allows for comfort while being flexed when wearer bends down, as well as offers maximum protection to the metatarsal. While we aim to make sure our boots are as comfortable as possible, we have also taken into serious consideration the safety aspects first. The patented design absorbs energy and disperses it should heavy objects fall on the wearer’s foot, thus preventing injuries. This latest world-first integrated design originates from the predecessor Shosholoza/Stimela gumboot with Metatarsal protection which won the prestigious DISA AWARD (Design Institute South Africa) in 2007 in the Mining and Industrial Category.
