Are gumboots considered safety footwear in NZ?

Standard gumboots are not rated as safety footwear. However, safety-rated gumboots with steel or composite toes are available and common in dairy, horticulture, and wet-environment worksites.

What should I look for in farm gumboots?

Look for a snug but comfortable fit, good ankle support, a slip-resistant sole, and waterproof construction. Steel-toe options provide extra protection for tractor and machinery work.

Which gumboot brands does KiwiWorkGear stock?

We stock Skellerup and Muck Boot — two of the most trusted brands for NZ farm and outdoor use, including insulated options for cold conditions.

How do I care for rubber gumboots?

Rinse with fresh water after use and air dry. Store out of direct sunlight to prevent rubber cracking. Avoid contact with petroleum solvents which degrade rubber.
