Redback TPU/PU Soles

Redback Boots have a hard wearing TPU outsole and light shock absorbing midsole. The wearer should note the following:

Heat: The maximum temperature the soles can be exposed to is 130°C for occasional contact and up to 110°C for prolonged contact.

Chemicals: Whilst the boots have good general oil resistance exposure to strong acids and alkalis (>10% concentration ) should be avoided. (Eg. Hydrochloric and sulphuric acid and caustic soda)

Any unauthorised alterations to footwear such as mechanical stretching or adding of vent holes are discouraged as it may:

• take the footwear out of compliance with the applicable safety standard
• void warranty or certification of the footwear
