Key Features
- SlimCap Toe Protection: The integrated 200-joule resistant SlimCap offers critical protection against falling objects and compression while maintaining a more refined profile than traditional safety caps.
- Puncture Resistant Sole: This feature provides a vital barrier against sharp underfoot hazards, ensuring that nails or shards do not compromise the safety of the wearer.
- Thermal Insulation (CI & HI): Designed to withstand extremes, this boot offers cold insulation down to -17°C and heat insulation up to 150°C, keeping your feet at a stable temperature regardless of the external environment.
- HRO Heat Resistant Outsole: The outsole is capable of resisting contact heat up to 300°C for one minute, making it suitable for high-temperature surfaces.
- Water Resistant Upper: The upper material is treated to prevent water penetration, ensuring your feet remain dry and comfortable during outdoor tasks.
- SmellStop Antibacterial Lining: An integrated lining that prevents the growth of bacteria and odours, maintaining a hygienic internal environment during long shifts.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the Bison Top. The 'All Terrain + HRO' outsole and upper are designed for longevity and grip, particularly in challenging outdoor conditions. The inclusion of the Dry’n Air Plus midsole facilitates air circulation within the boot, reducing moisture build-up and enhancing wearer comfort during active movement. The substantial build of this boot provides excellent ankle support and shock absorption in the heel region, which is essential for reducing fatigue when working on hard surfaces for extended periods. The hydrocarbons resistant properties of the sole further ensure that the boot remains stable and durable even when in contact with oils and fuels.
Why No Customisation?
The Bison Top is a high-specification piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). As a safety boot, it is designed and tested to meet rigorous EN ISO standards. We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on this item because any modification to the upper or structural components could compromise the water resistance, anti-static properties, or the overall safety certification of the boot. To ensure your protection remains uncompromised, we supply this item in its original, tested form.
Use Cases
These boots are ideally suited for heavy construction, civil engineering, and petrochemical industries where heat resistance and puncture protection are mandatory. They are also excellent for workers in cold storage environments or those operating in extreme outdoor climates where the CI and HI insulation ratings provide a distinct advantage. The men's width fit ensures ample room for a wide range of users performing heavy-duty manual labour.
Why MyWorkwear
Established in 1976, MyWorkwear has spent decades sourcing and supplying the highest quality protective equipment from our base in Telford.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that these boots are designed with a men's width fit and include substantial internal linings. We recommend wearing a high-quality work sock to complement the moisture-wicking properties of the Dry’n Air system. If you are between sizes, the sturdy nature of this boot often benefits from a slightly more generous fit to allow for natural foot expansion during a long working day.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety integrity of your Bison Top boots, regular maintenance is essential. After working in muddy or debris-filled environments, ensure the All Terrain outsole is cleared of stones and dirt. This ensures the slip-resistant (SR) properties and heat resistance remain effective.
The water-resistant upper should be kept clean of contaminants such as oils or harsh chemicals. If the boots become wet, they should be allowed to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to become brittle and lose their protective qualities.
