Brave the Brr with the Bastion

Following an exceptionally mild September, forecasters predict temperatures will tumble over the coming months as Britain braces itself for the usual year-end wet and cold. When rain arrives and ground conditions deteriorate, for groundworkers, landscapers, utility teams or other outdoor workers staying productive – and safe – starts with having the right footwear.

Guaranteed to perform come rain or shine, the Bastion Fargo safety boot features a fully waterproof, breathable membrane, premium waterproof leather and rugged traction for superior grip on unpredictable terrain. Meanwhile, a supportive chassis enhances torsion control and stability, while slip resistance ensures secure footing when the terrain gets tough.

Though, arguably, the toughest option in the Bobcat range, the Bastion delivers the same world-leading comfort. At its core lies Bobcat’s advanced Leaf‑Spring Technology insole, engineered to return energy, reduce fatigue and evenly distribute pressure across the foot. Independent tests show this unique comfort system boosts shock absorption by 46% and outperforms leading competitors by up to 30%, reducing impact with every step.

Style is accounted for too. With the Bastion, clunky, outdated safety boots are a thing of the past. Drawing on Bobcat’s distinctive brand DNA and heritage, the range combines sharp styling with standout features that are as bold and dependable as its name, including a moulded heel with kick spur and a robust, hard‑wearing form. Add the option of a sharp Dark Brown colourway, and the result is a boot which looks the part too.

Peter Lawson, Brand Manager at Overland Shoes, the footwear powerhouse behind the new Bobcat Safety Footwear collection comments: “For busy groundworkers, landscapers and other outdoor trades working in challenging conditions, difficult terrains, day-in and day-out, comfort shouldn’t be an afterthought or even a nice-to-have – it should be non-negotiable. Whatever the weather, whatever the job, the Bastion boot will keep you moving with confidence and ease each step of the way.”

With an S7L SR HRO SC FO rating, the Bastion Fargo safety boot is engineered to endure with slip resistance, water resistance, fuel oil resistance, a protective toe scuff cap, composite safety toe and penetration-resistance.
