The BOA® Fit System introduces a new way to fasten shoes. The “BOA® Fit System” is a closure system using a steel cable, nylon guides, and a mechanical reel, designed to solve a number of issues identified with traditional fasteners. During the development process, this system is an improvement over any other fastening system on the market – from laces with hooks to buckles. The BOA® closure guarantees maximum durability, reliability, and strength.

The upper ventilation system combined with a lining material with absorbent properties. This shoe is "breathable", ensuring maximum comfort.

The lining consists of a sandwich of 3 special breathable layers and one waterproof layer, along with an interlining and leather upper, creating the perfect solution for an optimal climate inside the shoe. It ensures thermal insulation, breathability, and water resistance.

A modern solution for the heel part of the shoe, providing maximum foot stabilization, both while walking and standing.

The optimal width of the shoe guarantees the desired comfort during wear.

Anatomically shaped insole with excellent absorbency and quick drying.

An insole with a gel element in the heel area that cushions impacts and absorbs energy while walking. Bamboo fibers ensure moisture absorption and an optimal climate inside the shoe.

MICHELIN® Technical Soles as the creator of soles in a unique design for all weather conditions and environments. The soles are equipped with a combination of specially modified rubber compounds and are inspired by the unique technical design of the world-famous Michelin® tires.

New, extremely durable high-strength polyamide fabric combining high protection with extreme lightness. PUTEK is a technological innovation that brings a revolution in the concept of safety footwear. The PUTEK technology uses a new fiber concept with super high abrasion resistance to achieve perfect mechanical properties. Using jacquard technique, any design can be created. PUTEK fiber uses a high-strength polyester core coated with a PU shell. Laboratory tests have shown that the most robust fabric, with an average abrasion resistance of 51,000 cycles, can achieve and exceed 1 million cycles. It resists 950,000 cycles more than the best fabric currently available on the market. This level of efficiency has never been achieved before. PUTEK makes work footwear a true barrier of protection, ensuring breathability and waterproofness, while remaining extremely light and flexible. PUTEK is an absolute technological innovation.

How to choose the best VM work footwear?

We offer over 150 models of VM footwear. So how do you choose the best model? Each model is unique and offers something different. However, when selecting the right work footwear, it's important to consider protection and safety.

Don't forget to check the safety class and protections

First, determine what type of footwear you prefer. Open sandals, sporty sneakers, classic loafers, or higher ankle boots? The type of footwear is chosen primarily based on the risks at the workplace and the type of environment - outdoor or indoor. The safety class that the shoes must meet is also determined based on this.

While work S1 footwear includes a protective toe cap and closed heel, the S3 class additionally has a waterproof upper and a patterned sole. You may also notice additional protections such as: puncture protection plate (P), slip-resistant sole (SRC), or cold resistance (CI). All of these important details can be found in the product parameters and can also be filtered in the search.

Choose based on price and materials, design is also important

Shoes are often chosen based on price or design. Of course, the shoes must be comfortable and appealing to you. The price and materials used correspond to this.

In the product parameters, you will find detailed information about the materials used, both for the upper and the sole. Generally, leather footwear is more expensive, but it lasts longer and is more durable. Textile shoes, on the other hand, are lighter and more breathable.
