Comfortable, durable safety footwear that is recycling materials used is now easier in New Zealand with TurtleBoots.

If you’re spending most of your day in safety footwear, you want to know it’s up to all the tasks your day involves. A lot of thought and design goes into safety boots so you don’t have to think about them once you’ve slipped them onto your feet. Work books need to meet industry regulations and safety standards, they need to be comfortable and lightweight yet hard wearing, and of course, they need to look good. 

Sustainable change is why TurtleBoots exists. Founder Alex Jenner spent years working in the safety equipment industry and could see positive change with how some manufacturers were rethinking waste. But he wasn’t seeing this with safety footwear.
