When it comes to safety footwear in construction and heavy industries, choosing the right pair of boots is crucial.
Introducing the Herd RF205 Rock Falls tough all-round safety boot, a remarkable option designed to provide unparalleled strength, waterproofing, and comfort for those who work in demanding environments.
Here's how tough these safety boots really are.
Need more proof? Ryan James, an artist, Yorkshire-based stonemason, and sculptor, shares his experience wearing Rock Fall's Herd RF205 safety boots.
"These boots have been a god send!!!" he continued, "I've been wearing them for almost 9 months and they’re still going strong. More importantly, they’re still comfortable and warm. Usually, within a few months, boots split at the seams on the sides because I have wide feet, and working on my knees a lot seems to strain them. However, these boots have stayed intact. The rubber scuff cap over the toes and heel means I haven't worn any holes through them, so they’re still waterproof after all these months."
Why choose Rock Fall’s Herd RF205 Safety Boots?
Developed for long-lasting wear, these safety boots feature a TPU heel counter and built-in PU toe piece. This tough material acts as a shield, reinforcing high-impact zones to resist, scrapes and abrasions. These reinforcements extend the life of the boots, keeping feet protected. The fiberglass toe cap shields toes from a minimum of 200 joules of impact, and the exclusively crafted para-aramid, anti-perforation protective midsole developed by Activ-Step® Footwear Components, adds an extra layer of defence against sharp objects. The ankle-supporting design ensures stability on ladders and uneven surfaces.
One of the standout features of the Herd RF205 safety boots is their exceptional waterproof capabilities. They are constructed with an Activ-Tex® waterproof membrane bootie that uses 60% recycled content, incorporating five plastic bottles in each pair.
The waterproof lining ensures moisture stays out keeping feet dry in wet conditions while contributing to a reduced environmental footprint.
Comfort for long hours
Working long shifts can take its toll on your feet, but the Herd RF205 safety boots are designed with cushioned Activ-Step® footbeds made from 87% recycled PU foam and 100% post-consumer recycled top mesh. These boots provide excellent support while reducing fatigue.
Industry approved safety features

✓ 100% Non-Metallic construction

If you are looking for even more reasons why you should own a pair, Ryan’s final comments on the Herd RF205 are:
