Get ready for the Autumn rush with the Rockford

As summer begins to wind down and tradies across the country prepare for the autumn season ramp-up, Bobcat Safety Footwear’s  Delta Rockford shoe offers a superior and stylish footwear option designed to tackle the pace

Ideal for professionals working across electrical, joinery, warehousing, facilities and other busy indoor work environments, the trainer-style Rockford shoe packs lightweight comfort and serious workplace protection into a clean, modern design.

Shown in a trendy dark grey, the Rockford features a lightweight, breathable and water-resistant, metal-free construction complete with a composite toe cap and anti-penetration midsole for enhanced protection without the added weight of steel. Its metal-free design also makes it suitable for workplaces where scanner-friendly footwear is required, while anti-static properties make it ideal for sensitive manufacturing environments. Other key features include heat-bonded rubber toe guards, reinforced heel and toe pulls, and stitched athletic-inspired lace ghillies, ensuring durability shift after shift.

Like all innovative styles in the Bobcat Safety Footwear range, every pair features unique Leaf Spring Technology, engineered to absorb shock, reduce fatigue and support the feet, knees and back throughout the working day. Helping busy tradies keep a spring in their step even when the job gets tough, the technology has been independently proven to deliver 46% greater shock absorption and outperform leading competitors by up to 30%.

Peter Lawson, Brand Manager at Overland Shoes, the parent company behind the new Bobcat Safety Footwear range, comments: “Traditionally, this time of year always sees a surge in activity for tradespeople as facilities, businesses and homeowners alike begin to focus on getting their premises or homes in shape ahead of the long winter months.

“Of course, while great for business this can bring all sorts of pressure in terms of tighter deadlines, longer working hours and, in turn, more time spent on their feet – so it’s important that they have the right footwear to boot.

“The Rockford is built for that busy stretch. It has been purposefully engineered to deliver the lightweight feel and contemporary style of a trainer, combined with the protection, durability and underfoot support tradies need to keep moving when the workload ramps up. From electricians and contractors working to make the most of shorter daylight hours, to warehouse operatives preparing for the seasonal rush and general trades working indoors, we see Rockford as the go-to safety shoe this autumn.”

With an S3S SR FO rating, the Rockford safety shoe offers the highest level of common protection, along with slip resistance and fuel resistance.
