Using bio-based material

NATURAL BAMBOO FIBRE: Hard-wearing, and extremely comfortable

We believe that bio-based materials (materials from natural and renewable sources) are the future. Consequently, 18% of the lining in our RUN-R PLANET 100 safety footwear is made using natural bamboo fibres. Bamboo’s rapid growth, together with its ability to grow back without the need for fertiliser or pesticides and its ability to adapt easily to different environments, make it a particularly sustainable plant that is increasingly found in a wide range of products.

Bamboo fibre is known for its excellent moisture-absorption properties and can absorb up to three times its own weight in water. This means it is guaranteed to keep your feet dry and prevent any discomfort caused by excessive perspiration, even after a long, physical working day.
