01 — The boot

Built for an unforgiving agricultural reality.

Conventional gumboots blister within two hours, trap sweat and pull off in deep clay. The AB-01 combines the durability of technical mountaineering footwear with dedicated agricultural chemical and biological defence.

  • Hermetically sealed vulcanization

    A 100% waterproof barrier against stagnant monsoon water and rice-paddy mud.

  • 840D ballistic para-aramid armour

    Tested against the strike velocities of Indian vipers and sharp agricultural tools.

  • Ergonomic plantar arch cradle

    Calibrated for 14-hour standing shifts, reducing lumbar and knee fatigue.

02 — Component breakdown

Built layer by layer.

Each component answers a specific hazard documented during field studies across Telangana, Assam and Maharashtra.

01ASTM F2413 / IS 15298

Outer Shell

Hydrophobic vulcanized nitrile rubber

A seamless, chemical-impermeable perimeter that deflects thorns, acidic soil chemicals and stone abrasion while refusing water. Reinforced heel kick-off lugs allow hands-free removal after muddy shifts.

02150 N fang dynamic strike test

Reinforcement

Ballistic para-aramid fang-deflection weave

A structural shield wrapped around the calf and Achilles to arrest viper fangs, barbed wire and sickle slips before they reach skin — without restricting natural ankle articulation.

03ISO 20344 breathability

Inner Lining

Silver-ion antimicrobial breathable mesh

Channels perspiration away from skin in 40°C harvest conditions, suppressing bacterial growth, fungal rot and trench foot through the monsoon.

0442% lower heel shock pressure

Cushioning

Dual-density anatomical EVA footbed

Calibrated from 500+ 3D foot scans of Indian agricultural workers. Absorbs heel-strike shock across 12–14 hour shifts in submerged paddy or cracked dry soil.

05EN 12568:2010

Puncture Protection

Non-metallic multi-layer composite plate

A flexible barrier beneath the insole that stops babool thorns, nails and sugarcane stubble — immune to rust, and flexible enough for natural squatting and terrace walking.

06DIN 53543 torsional rigidity

Midsole

High-rebound PU core with steel-free torsion shank

Prevents midfoot collapse and ankle roll while carrying 40–60 kg loads across narrow, greasy irrigation bunds.

07SATRA TM144 wet slip

Outsole

Directional self-cleaning nitrile compound

Geometry angled to expel clumpy black cotton mud on every forward stride, rather than collecting dead weight underfoot.
