Bekina: Lightweight PU boots for barn, yard and the whole working day

Bekina makes polyurethane boots in Belgium for farming and industry. With us you will find the brand's safety boots and matching insoles for everyday wear.

Bekina: boots built on long PU experience

It all began in 1962 with Denis Vanderbeke, who sold handmade rubber boots to farmers in his area. Today his grandson runs the family business, and production still takes place in Kluisbergen, Belgium. Bekina works with polyurethane (PU) instead of rubber and uses it for both leisure and safety boots. Around 750,000 pairs a year go to 80 countries, to farms, fisheries, food producers, building sites and workshops. An in-house laboratory keeps an eye on quality.

Bekina at Agrarzone

We stock the brand's safety boots for anyone who spends long days on their feet in the barn, the workshop or around the yard. The range includes the StepliteX SolidGrip, the MidliteX SolidGrip and the Steplite EasyGrip, all rated S5. For cold days there is the StepliteX Thermo. To help your boots fit well and stay warm, you will also find three-layer insoles with felt and a two-layer footbed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between PU boots and rubber boots?
Polyurethane is much lighter than natural rubber and insulates better against cold coming up from the ground. That is why many people find PU boots more comfortable on long working days.

What does S5 mean on Bekina safety boots?
S5 stands for a boot with a protective toe cap, a penetration-resistant sole and a waterproof upper. It keeps you well protected on building sites and in workshops too.

Why would I need an extra insole?
An insole cushions every step, absorbs moisture and keeps the cold away from your feet in winter. You can take it out to dry, which keeps the inside of the boot fresh.
