Every pair of boots worn by a farmer has a story to tell and the more a farmer loves his boots, the  more interesting the story will be. Neptun Boot is ready to take part in the action. Neptun is proud to introduce the Strident Camo boot range specifically designed for harsh terrain conditions. This lightweight boot weighs a mere 1,25 kg, but still offers advanced features such as water resistant, breathable uppers and full safety protection to the toe and midsole. The boot doesn’t shy away from hard wearing, has an excellent grip and is slip resistant.

Tested recently under dry conditions in the Zululand Rhino Reserve in South Africa, the field rangers found Strident to be comfortable, durable and lightweight. Hunters have also found this boot to be quiet when stalking prey. Neptun Boot was established in 1977 in Westmead, Pinetown, in the KwaZulu Natal province of South Africa. The original focus was to supply highquality PVC gumboots to the industry, with a focus on the agricultural sector.

Over the years the business has grown and developed to become the leading gumboot  manufacturer in Southern Africa. Neptun’s international market reach has grown over the years to include territories as far afield as Ghana, Australia, China, The United Arab Emirates, Peru and the Republic of Ireland, giving Neptun a truly global footprint.

The mainstay of Neptun’s range of agricultural products are the Shova™ and Marina™ product lines. Shova™ is a full-length unisex gumboot and Marina™ is Neptun’s ladies range of gumboots. Both are available in general purpose and blood and fat resistant variants. The Shova™ range is also
available in the Chelsea, fishing, shoe and clog variants. The MarinaTM range also comes in a number of fashionable colour combinations as well as in clog and shoe variants.

Neptun also has a range of children’s gumboots known as Clipper™, which features many colourful variants and services a wide range of markets from school-shoe substitutes in the cold, wet, mountainous, rural regions of Southern Africa to fashionable boots sold by South Africa’s leading retailers. In 2005 Neptun launched the Shosholoza ™ mining gumboot which won a design award from the Design Institute of South Africa. It revolutionised the mining gumboot industry by introducing
patented ankle and metatarsal protection as well as bringing shoe comfort levels to a gumboot. The Shosholoza™ gumboot is available with a steel toe cap, a steel midsole and a metatarsal protector. It is also available in white and grey variants. This boot is sold all over South and Southern Africa to all
the major mining houses.

Further capitalising on the success of the metatarsal protection offered in the Shosholoza™ Metaguard gumboot, Neptun developed and launched the metal free Stimela™ XP boot in 2013. It is the world’s first metal-free, heavy-duty mining boot with an integral metatarsal protector and has been patented globally. The Stimela™ XP gumboot is available with a composite toe cap and
an anti-penetrative textile midsole. This flagship boot is now in demand across Southern Africa and in Europe.

Neptun Boot also offers a comprehensive after sales service for its customers, with a dedicated team of technical sales representatives who are on call for any opportunities or challenges their customers might face. They pride themselves on supporting their customers in delivering the best possible product and service to the end user. In 2015 Neptun Boot further expanded its product range by launching the Strident™ metal free, dual density PU safety boot with a textile upper.

This boot was designed specifically for the harsh mining conditions in South Africa, where the traditional leather alternatives were failing after just a few months. This safety boot is available with a composite toe-cap and an antipenetrative textile midsole. Strident™ is also available in shoe and combat boot versions to serve a wider range of industries where the user demands the highest levels of durability and comfort. All of Neptun’s safety products are certified to the latest European standards CE / EN 20345 and SANS 20345 certifications. Both the PVC and the PU manufacturing plants are internationally certified plants by SAI Global.
