Bekina Boots - US Catalogue

We believe that you can only make the world’s best boots when craftsmanship is paramount. That is what has driven our family business to always search for a better way, throughout its 60-year existence. With each new generation, we have taken innovation one step further. To meet the challenges of each new generation of customers. From farmers around the world and in every industry who wear our boots to ensure they can perform their daily tasks comfortably and safely. From fishermen standing firmly on deck, ready to land the day’s catch. Workers in the food industry who demand the highest standards of safety and hygiene. For each profession, for each application, we develop the best possible boots. So that anyone who wears them can practice their craftsmanship in total safety, comfort and confidence. Step by step. Mile after mile.

Because just like our boots, at Bekina we go the extra mile, with our eyes set on the future. And like the people who wear them, we dedicate our Belgian craftsmanship to adding lasting value at every step. That is why we resolutely chose polyurethane from the start. This extremely high-quality material makes Bekina boots last up to 4 times longer. It makes them a solid investment for our customers, while drastically reducing the footprint of production, transportation and waste.

It’s a way of thinking that we apply to every facet of our organization. From our manufacturing processes powered by 100% green energy to our tangible initiatives to encourage biodiversity around our buildings. And it’s how we, along with our extended family of customers, employees and partners, contribute to making a better world.*

Inspired craftsmanship is in our blood at Bekina. It drives our relentless desire for innovation, fuels our unwavering commitment to sustainable quality and results in the world’s best quality boots.

Bekina. Innovation through craftsmanship.

R&D and testing

Behind every Bekina boot is a whole process of development, innovation and safety testing. We make sure of that in our own test lab a modern laboratory where we constantly subject the performance, quality and safety of our boots to the latest international norms and standards.

In our professional lab, the boots are tested for among other:

1 Conductive properties

2 Toe protection by an impact and compression test

3 Resistance to wear and tear with a Martindale test

4 Strength by a tensile and tear strength test

5 Puncture Resistance resistance of the sole (S5 protection)

6 Slip resistance

7 Flexibility and durability by a flex test

Within our lab, the quality of our products is checked daily according to standardized tests. In order to ensure a consistent high quality product, we maintain a strict entry control of our raw materials. This allows us to offer a continuous guarantee that all our products meet the necessary standards and norms.

We offer safety boots which comply to worldwide safety standard. Our lab is equipped to carry out the tests independently and for this purpose, we are audited annually by accredited bodies.

In addition, our lab is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery to support our development team in order to implement the latest technologies and market trends in our products with a clear focus on sustainability.

When choosing safety boots, it’s essential to consider the type of hazards you may encounter in your workplace and select boots that comply with the relevant safety standards. There are various safety standards that boots can comply with to ensure they offer adequate protection. Some of the most common safety standards for boots include:

EN ISO 20345: This standard the most widely recognized standard for safety footwear in Europe. It covers several requirements, including impact resistance, compression resistance, puncture resistance, slip resistance and conductive properties. It classifies safety footwear into different categories based on their protective features.

ASTM F2413: This standard is commonly used in North America and covers similar requirements as EN ISO 20345 but according to American standards.

The ASTM F2413 standard provides a useful tool for employers to evaluate the performance of safety footwear and make informed decisions about the selection and use of protective footwear in the workplace.

Globally recognized safety guarantee

Bekina Boots works together with globally recognized and accredited testing institutes to have its boots certified according to different international safety standards depending on the region where the boots are used. This allows us to offer you the guarantee to enjoy the best protection while wearing our boots all over the world.

No slipping, good traction, ultimate comfort...what can I say?

I will be a customer for life!

I have been a commercial fisherman for 30 years. I got my first pair of Bekina’s just this last season. I must say that after all these years wearing a different brand, these were exceptional. A key difference was the feel of the footbed, as I have sort of wide feet. The Bekina boots were very comfortable and never felt tight or constricting while also offering great support. Additionally, putting these boots on is a dream comparatively. I always had a struggle getting into and out of my old boots.

My feet would also sweat a lot in my old boots and I truly never had this issue with the Bekina Boots, which was a huge plus. Fishing in rough weather on slippery decks was the real test for these boots and I can say with confidence that they are far superior to any other boot I have worn. No slipping, good traction, ultimate comfort... what can I say? I will be a customer for life!
