Shoes specifically designed for DIY activities!
DIY is still the most popular outdoor activity among Europeans. And with good reason; there's nothing like it for clearing your mind while enjoying the outdoors! Blackfox DIY shoes have been designed to make the most of those special moments, while providing basic protection for all everyday builders. These specific products are suitable for these types of use because they are made of robust materials and are practical and safe. Got some wood to cut? Choose Montana shoes, easy to put on and perfectly insulating. Materials to be moved? Oregon shoes give you unparalleled walking comfort.
Specific product development for the DIY industry
To meet the requirements of DIY activities (impact resistance, abrasion resistance, safe walking), our development teams choose their basic materials very carefully. These materials include EVA-based synthetic rubber, which is widely used in sports shoes for its highly effective shock absorbent properties. Within this category, we find the Oregon shoe. Plastic (PVC-based) is used for its abrasion-resistant properties and its stability over time (Emma, Sèvre). Predominantly natural rubber is widely known for its comfort and flexibility. It is sometimes lined with neoprene, in the case of the Montana shoe, for example, which is an insulating synthetic rubber very useful in cold weather. On each product sheet, we give you advice on how to take care of your product, according to its composition.
