Some names need no introduction on a South African worksite. Bata has been making footwear since 1894, and its industrial range has kept generations of miners, builders, farmers, factory teams and security officers on their feet. Today we are proud to announce that Africa Pro Safety Warehouse now stocks the Bata Industrial range, online and through our branches.
Why Bata?
Bata Industrial footwear is built for the conditions we work in here: heat, dust, mud, long shifts and hard floors. Much of the range is made in South Africa, and the core safety boots and shoes are SB rated with steel toe caps and SABS and NRCS approval, so you can buy with confidence that your team meets site requirements.
For Africa Pro customers, it means one more trusted brand next to the names you already buy from us, with the same simple ordering, nationwide delivery and branch support.
What's in the range
We have added more than 60 Bata styles, with full size runs on each.
Safety boots and shoes
The workhorses of the range, all SB rated with steel toe caps: the Atlantic boot, Induna boot, Pacific shoe and Konga shoe, plus the popular Arctic Chelsea boot in black or brown and the Mandla Chelsea boot. The Atlantic, Induna and Konga also come in sizes 3 and 4 for smaller feet.
Territory range
Dependable SB steel toe protection for teams on a budget: the Memphis boot, Boston shoe and Phoenix Chelsea boot.
Premium imported boots
For tough terrain and long days. The Helix Ultra Longreach (wheat or black) and Trekker boots, and the top of the range Avenger, which is 100% metal free with a composite toe cap and D3O impact protection. Also new: the Hawk Chelsea and Eagle boots.
Gumboots and mules
When the ground turns to mud or the floor stays wet, a good gumboot is essential. The Rhino 1 has a steel toe cap and steel midsole (SBP), and the Rhino 2 is a steel toe SB gumboot in black, black and toffee, or white and red for food processing. For non-safety work there are the Rhino 3, the Jobber and the ladies' Elegant, plus the slip-on Jobber and Elegant mules for wet indoor work.
Security boots
Built for guarding, patrols and response teams: the Vimba, Shield, Dagger and Arrow, with the Dagger and Arrow in wheat or black.
Uniform and professional shoes
Smart, comfortable shoes for uniformed and front-of-house staff: the Parabellum, Sergeant boot and Revolver for men, and the ladies' Parabellum, Performer and Bella. For kitchens, hospitals and long hours on your feet, the professional range includes the Verve clog, Apex, Smith and ladies' Sana, all on our Bata brand page.
Safari boots and shoes
Bata's classic outdoor range for the farm, the bush and the weekend, including the Odyssey (also for ladies), Barron, Expedition, Woodlands and heavy-duty Umfolozi HD and Explorer HD.
Finish the outfit with a pair of Bata Industrial work socks.
