BISON innovation
Bison technology icons
There is quite a difference between traditional safety footwear and BISON. Not just because of all of
our safety features, but perhaps primarily because it draws a line between those who have them and
those who don’t.
SAFEFLEX
MOIST DISPEL
SafeFlex™
This Kevlar composite anti-penetration midsole, during testing, achieved superior results
over conventional steel, because it can be
directly stitched to the upper, therefore
protecting the entire sole area. It is also
lighter and more flexible than steel.
Moist Dispel™
This lining has been developed for utmost
dryness and breathability. Specially designed
to wick moisture away from your feet all
day and allowing them to breathe, optimally
keeping them dry and aerated.
SAFEFLEX 100%
protected surface
STEEL 75%
protected surface
Tunnel Tread Technology™
Revolutionary for quick liquid dispersal. This
sole pattern has been developed so that
water is pushed into the tunnel and dispelled
out the back of the BISON sole, creating an
extremely safe, non-slip sole.
Premium leather
The finest full grain leathers have been
selected for tear strength, breathability,
water repellency, durability and correct
Ph balance. This is to ensure your BISON
footwear are of the quality and functionality
that you need.
TOUGH TESTING
We have put BISON through years of testing
in a range of environments and conditions.
This includes subjecting them to the
demands of extensive testing within a large
variety of industries.
DEVELOPMENT
By listening closely to the feedback we
receive from you, the people who work
hard in our footwear, we are continuously
developing and refining our range. We listen
to your demands for quality and functionality
with all aspects of the BISON range.
SAFETY
BISON is focused on producing safe yet
attractive footwear. We do this by keeping
at the cutting-edge of new technology in
footwear safety to produce footwear with
the safety features you need.
MATERIALS
Different industries and professions have
different requirements for the materials
used in their footwear. We work with
manufacturers worldwide to create the
materials that meet these tough demands.
INNOVATION
Safe, functional and comfortable footwear
with an attractive design. That’s the result
of expertise and collaboration with users.
We have an entire department dedicated to
producing innovative footwear to stay at the
fore-front of your industry.

12 BISON FOOTWEAR CATALOGUE
BIGFOOT
”Another person wanted to trial the BISON Boots - his name was Jimmy Peters.
Because of the diverse terrain he was working in, I felt he would really give these
boots the ultimate test. He liked the boots - they were light, comfortable, no wear in
the stitching and leather, and they didn’t hinder him in his work. He thought these
were one of the best boots he had worn.”
Joe, Forestry Gang Manager - Thames
WOLF
”Thanks for including me as part of your trial process on BISON Footwear. I have worn
both the BISON Wolf and Mohican boots over the past few years. We are a large scale
cropping/ lamb finishing farm in Swannanoa, and I have found both styles to be very
functional on the farm. Being able to have some input into the design of the footwear
has been great, and I see more innovations in the pipeline with this brand.”
Nick – Farm Manager
NEO gumboot
”I have been wearing the BISON Neo boot for three years now. My first pair of these
lasted two winters. I am very pleased with these boots, and have found them very
comfortable, gumboots that can be worn from dawn till dusk in full comfort. The
uppers move with the leg, avoiding any rubbing, which is where other gumboots fall
down. One feature that is particularly good is the seal against the leg. I never get any
hay on my socks when wearing these boots.
The steel cap feature is also reassuring, and is not detrimental to the gumboot at
all. Our farming operation is varied with tasks ranging from shifting break fences for
cattle, to foot bathing sheep. I have worn these boots in every possible situation and
they are a favourite. I would happily recommend this footwear to other farmers.”
Richard - Mixed sheep, beef and cropping farmer, North Canterbury
