New safety footwear for women launched

These new models form the cornerstone of V12’s ‘Comfort and Protection - No Exceptions’ female PPE campaign, addressing long-overlooked challenges faced by women in safety-critical industries.

Data-driven design meets precision fit

Built using data from over 2,000 3D scans of women’s feet, the Valiant and Vanguard boots deliver a fit that is specifically engineered for the unique anatomical structure of the female foot. To complement this female-specific last, V12 Footwear integrated the BOA Fit System - bringing micro- adjustable precision fit, superior heel hold, and all-day comfort to a sector where safety and performance cannot be compromised.

BOA Fit System: Confidence at every turn

The BOA Fit System’s advanced dial technology allows wearers to quickly and effortlessly achieve a customised fit, even pressure distribution, and enhanced stability - all critical factors in demanding work environments. By seamlessly integrating BOA into its female-first design, V12 Footwear has created a boot that empowers women to perform at their best, without distractions from discomfort or ill-fitting PPE.

Giving women a voice in PPE innovation

An integral part of the launch has been V12’s commitment to amplifying real voices from women across safety industries. Through a series of powerful videos, female PPE wearers share how properly fitting safety footwear - combined with innovations like the BOA Fit System - enhances their performance, productivity, and overall well-being on the job.

George Turner, managing director at V12 Footwear, commented, “At V12, our aim is to always create products with innovation at the core, so they change and develop the category and have a significant positive impact for wearers. And I’m excited to say that the Valiant and Vanguard are fantastic examples of this, supporting wearers in reaching their peak performance.”

Setting a new standard for women’s PPE

With waterproof performance, a purpose-built women’s fit, and the proven precision of the BOA® Fit System, the Vanguard and Valiant represent a step-change in the design of safety hi-legs and hikers. BOA is proud to collaborate with partners like V12 Footwear who share a vision of innovation that delivers real-world performance benefits for workers in safety-critical environments.
