Features and benefits
Natural rubber
The natural rubber used to manufacture Acton® boots is extracted from a tree called the Hevea. The tree trunk is tapped to collect the «sap», also called «latex».
The superior quality natural rubber we use offers the best thermal protection and the safest grip on ice. Its exceptional properties: flexible in the cold, adherence, stable, durable, comfortable, 100% waterproof and preserving heat even in very cold weather are just a few of the many advantages of the 100% natural rubber bottom made by Acton®.
No matter the style or the size, Acton® boots are made with the same first quality materials and Acton® never compromises on quality. We guarantee comfort and protection for all ages and in all weather conditions!
Triple Density Insulation Liner
A lot of the heat is lost directly through the bottom of your foot. Acton® boots are built with several insoles, each serving a specific purpose waterproofing, thermal insulation or absorption. Furthermore, ACTON® winter boots are made of natural rubber of superior quality offering thermal insulation, great flexibility, adherent outsoles and 100% waterproof.
The Acton® 's triple density insulation liner contain 100% virgin wool. It is made of three complementary materials which create a revolutionary system "triple-layered", ultra-efficient. Here are those three materials:
Polypropylene
This hydrophobic interior layer absorbs, evacuates and evaporates dampness away from the foot and to the outside in no time.
The Winning Team: Wool & Polypro
Wool breathes with your body and supplies appropriate levels of insulation according to the temperature. The polypro's fiber draws dampness away from the foot to the outside through Metaltek® .
Metaltek®
Through its reflective properties and its tiny pores, this exterior layer keeps the cold out, allows dampness to evaporate and keeps body heat to the foot.
Comfort zones
Each Acton® winter boot style is attributed a comfort zone. The following comfort zones were scientifically determined by the Textile Technology Center based on the number of thermal units (B.T.U.), and thereby will meet your specific needs. Factors such as the person’s physical condition, the type of activity and its duration, the humidity level and fit may affect comfort.
Anti-slip outsole
The best anti-slip outsole on the market
The “Duty” Acton outsole was developed to offer a peerless anti-slip resistance on water and oil. The registered design of this sole has obtained very good results when it got tested in an independent laboratory: oil and water resistance of 0.61 (according to ASTM F1677 standard) compared to 0.25 on the market.
