Especially Champions boots 701, 702 and 703, have been developed for fire fighters and rescue workers in the first place, but are applicable in many other circumstances too. These 3 boots are equipped with the best features, one can think of already. However on an even higher level, Bata developed 2 boots with more features for even tougher con- ditions. The 2 models are named Minemaster and Shield. These 2 models are equipped with impact absorbing metatarsal protection material D3O® (see picture) and with caustic and mud resistant Helcor®, for extra toe and heel protection. One of the most eye-catching features is in the new Shield and Minemaster boots, is the flexible metatarsal (or simple: met) guard made of D3O® material. The Shield and Minemaster are boots for tough conditions and with D3O® providing a flexible metatarsal guard. By using D3O®, Bata is able to provide the ideal shock absorp- tion. D3O® material is very flexible until impact, at which point the molecules lock together in order to absorb the shock. The D3O® flexible metatarsal guard is giving your feet the ultimate protection ánd comfort. As an iconic global brand and pioneer in the modern footwear industry, the new Bata Champions collection has evolved from over 100 years’ experience and expertise. This new collection will soon be available all over Europe. The market is ready for it! 41 PARA MÁS INFORMACIÓN, CONTACTE CON: comercial@prensa-tecnica.com
