TURNING SAFETY WEAR INTO A BEAST

Why are we at KAMU® obsessed with true comfort? Because discomfort drains our energy. The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel. It’s simple.


Over the years, a lot of effort has gone into sole development to provide comfort. Test show however that the feeling of true comfort is not only linked to a cushiony sole. True comfort has many more aspects. 

We call it the 'comfort side effect'

To achieve true comfort that lasts through the long shift, the full-on week and the seasons, we need to look at many factors that impact our well-being when we are wearing personal protective equipment.


How can we optimise comfort with all-weather protection, breathability and inner boot climate? What about weight and ease-of-use? The perfect boot strikes the perfect balance of these aspects and more.


KAMU® work gear is packed with innovative technologies for advanced performance and guaranteed long-term comfort so you can keep up your energy and focus.

PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGIES AT THE CORE OF LONG-TERM COMFORT 

WATER-RESISTANT FULL-GRAIN OR NUBUCK LEATHER

KAMU® leather uppers are the backbone of comfort, performance, and durability. 

Our leather is water-resistant yet breathable, preventing swelling, chafing, and discomfort caused by moisture buildup.

Highly tensile- and tear-resistant, our premium full-grain and Nubuck leathers offer best-in-class flexibility for enhanced long-term comfort.


As a specialist with over five decades of experience in leather work boots manufacturing, we have a meticulous approach to selecting the right leathers with optimal hand and thickness, ensuring that every work boot is fit-for-the-job in various work environments.

COOLMAX® BOOT LINING – BEAT THE HEAT & BACTERIA

All KAMU® safety boots are equipped with Coolmax® liners to keep your feet and boots fresher for longer. With its wicking properties, the Coolmax® liner draws heat and moisture away so you can keep cool toes and a cool head throughout the day. 


A bonus is the anti-microbial property of Coolmax® liners. They fight unpleasant odours and provide freshness to every step.


Your benefits:

  • Dryer feet 
  • Increased breathability for cooler feet
  • Antimicrobial for healthier foot climate
  • Less odour.
  • Increased lifespan of your boots

ORTHOLITE® INSOLES – SERIOUSLY SOFT CUSHIONING

Thanks to the superior cushioning, the ORTHOLITE® footbed insoles make you feel as though your heavy load’s been lifted right off your shoulders. These ergonomically fitted insoles absorb shocks and provide dynamic as well as thermal comfort whilst being ultra-lightweight. They provide increased comfort for the areas of the foot which receive the greatest impacts: the heel and metatarsus. 


Your benefits:

  • 95-100% breathable to keep you cool
  • Compresses less than 5% over the product life
  • Moisture management to keep boots dry
  • Machine washable. Maintains all comfort and performance benefits after washing
  • Extremely lightweight

INFINERGY® ANTI-FATIGUE MIDSOLES – ENERGY RETURN

The Infinergy® Midsole Technology used in all KAMU® boots is German technology at its best! It is a unique proprietary foam compound developed by BASF that makes the boot comfortable to wear - providing ultimate cushioning and shock absorption with every single strike of the foot. The biggest benefit however is that the sole springs back into its original shape immediately after impact, and, thanks to this high rebound effect, with every step your energy is returned straight back to your feet. 

A technology that makes workers feel and perform better with less fatigue, less strain on the joints and less risk of injury. You feel like you’re walking without energy-loss. It’s lighter hauling. It’s safer working.


Your benefits:

  • >57%* greater energy return, so you can be your best at work – and after work.
  • Less weight, so you can retain muscle energy.
  • Faster recovery, so you can back it up again tomorrow.

ANKLE-HEAL-ARCH SUPPORT – STABILITY FOR A SEAMLESS STRIDE

KAMU® safety footwear is designed for optimal ankle, heel and arch support. First, this is to give you a safer foothold, preventing discomfort from blisters, as well as more serious injuries and accidents. Second, it helps align your spine and improves your posture, giving you stabilisation and balance right to your core. 


Your benefits:

  • Evens out your stride for a sure step, so you can move with confidence
  • Improves efficiency of movement
  • Added safety and comfort 

FREELOCK FASTENING SYSTEM – A QUICK SNUG FIT

The Freelock® wire closure system eliminates the challenges of conventional shoelaces, which are time-consuming to adjust to the ideal level of tightness – critical for both comfort and safety – particularly in demanding working conditions.

The system allows you to tighten and adjust your shoe-lacing for a safe, snug and more comfortable fit. It’s fast, it’s simple, just twist the dial to tighten and release without the need to take off your gloves.


The superior turning action (not a push-pull mechanism) is not only convenient and quick, but also safer. No more loose laces to trip over or to get caught in the machinery. With a safe grip, your boot is easily fastened - even in dirty, oily or wet conditions.

A PERFECT WORK BOOT STARTS WITH THE PERFECT FIT

  To ensure your KAMU® safety boots fit like a glove, we offer men's and women's styles in a broad range of sizes, tailored to a regular or a wider foot.
