Rubber Boots

For Farming
Rubber boots are perfect for carrying out farm or ranch chores because they provide shock absorption on hard surfaces, as well as giving comfort. Because of the rubber layer, they are smooth and easy to clean, which makes them suitable for messy jobs. Also, rubber boots are easy to get on and off, aside from their additional reinforcement and arch support.

For Working in Construction and Oil Fields
Some rubber boots that passed a particular compliance check, such as electrical shock resistance (ESR) rating, can be used for construction sites and oil fields. For instance, there are manufactured rubber boots that have a steel toe box feature to protect the metatarsals and phalanges at the front. Others even have a quadruple reinforced heel at the back for defense against shrapnel or nails.

For Gardening
Rubber boots are also ideal in working house chores and outdoor gardening. You will be comfortable moving back and forth around your house property and worrying less about the dirt on your feet, stepping on leaves, stems, or even pebbles.

For Boating
Rubber boots can be also worn whenever you feel like boating. There are boots in the market that are breathable and lightweight, making sure to keep your feet dry. The good thing about rubber boots is that they have rubber outsoles to resist slippery surfaces. Moreover, these boots are easy to get on and off.

For Fishing
Several types of rubber boot can work well for fishing. Particularly with features of high-cut boots that have a stretchy fitting on top to assure that they fit comfortably to your calf – while keeping it dry in the water. In addition, some rubber boots are meant for lower temperatures to retain the warmness of your feet even if they are submerged in cold water.

For Hunting
Another thing, rubber boots are best for hunting, and there are many styles nowadays that you can choose from, like camouflage prints. They will surely keep your feet dry and warm while blending in with your full camouflage hunting outfit.

Climate
First off, you need to assess the general weather of where you live. The climate in your area will help you determine the best option for you. Annual rainfalls may be uncertain which makes you need rain boots. Moreover, working on wet conditions will push you to have durable rain boots. If an instance you work under 40°F, you need insulated rain boots.

Comfort
Comfort is one of the biggest factors to consider. Those who wear rain boots for long periods of time would want to invest in comfortable footwear. Thus, it would be best to have rain boots that will make you comfortable whatever chores you are doing.

Fit
Each manufacturer designs their lasts or fits in the deliberate estimation of a human foot. The footwear category may vary with their style. Moreover, some footwears have laces making it easier for shoes to fit. But, most rain boots do not have laces and rain boots manufacturers rarely produce half sizes. Thus, it would be best to fit the boots to have an exact foot size.

Water Resistance
The boot style you prefer may vary depending on your intended use. Some may find lower boots more comfortable for casual uses while some prefer knee-high boots when working. This is an obvious preference as shorter boots cannot protect your feet from splashes and puddles of water.Thus, to have the confidence and protection, choose a rain boot that will snugly fit around your calf. Snugly fitted boots will completely protect your feet from errant droplets.

Warmth
Some who work in places with cold temperatures will prefer insulated rain boots. They are the best option for cold seasons. It gives a pleasant warmth to your feet. For you to know the insulation of the rain boots, check its warmth score. If you are not comfortable with having an insulated boot, you can have an uninsulated rain boot with thick socks.

Traction
The rain boot traction depends on the intended substrate, outsole, and type of rubber. Some rain boots that are designed for casual uses, these rain boots only have traction fit for general use. If you work in muds, snows, or high water, you need a rain boot that has large and deep lugs. Thus, it would be better to try on the rain boots to better determine your preference with traction ability.

Mixing the Main Components
The natural rubber is mixed together with other components, namely carbon black, fillers, oil, and curatives. They are fused either in an open-top mill or enclosed mixing machine. Precise measurement is extremely essential in the stage of weighing out the ingredients to guarantee that the preferred physical properties of the mixture are attained.When the compound has been mixed, then it is needed to “settle” by storing it. Before storing, the mixture is tested first to assure that it passed the pre-determined specifications. Then from the store, the uncured rubber is sent to four minimal pre-processing stages before it reaches the assembly stage.

Molding of the Heel
In this stage, the rainboot heel is molded through compression. This is accomplished through placing a tiny piece of pre-weighed uncured rubber or called a slug into a mold cavity that is then compressed under high pressure and simultaneously heated.

Outsole Calendering
The sheets of uncured rubber or pigs are drawn from the store and heated up on a mill to prepare them to be soft. Once they reached the required smooth and soft texture, they are then fed through the outsole calender.A calender is formed by a series of metal rollers that process uncured rubber to a specific gauge and roll a pattern onto the surface of the rubber. Heated knives are used to carve out the wanted sole size in the aftermath of cutting around the template.

Upper Calendering
As mentioned earlier, the pigs from the store are heated up on a mill and dispensed in the upper calender. The “upper” part relates to the thin external layer of rubber on the rain boot. Not like the “outsole” part, which leaves a perfectly smooth finish on the rubber’s surface.As the rubber is being fed into the calender, a continuous thin sheet is wound up onto drums. Then different parts are cut out from the continuous layer of the upper rubber.

Skimming and Friction Calendering
The term skim refers to the canvas lining inside the rain boot. It has a coat of rubber skimmed onto the surface that creates a solid bond with other rubber elements. On the other hand, the term friction pertains to the process of weaving rubber canvas for a reinforced internal layer.This process is different from calendering due to the layers of the canvas that is dispensed into the first two rollers, whether it is ‘skim’ or ‘friction’. The skim or friction is then rolled onto the drums. Afterward, different parts are sliced out from the continuous rolls of skim or friction through a clicking machine.

Assembling of Boots
In this phase, the assembly line workers build up the rubber boots layer by layer, entirely by hand. The assembly chain is a long slender table that has a chain rotating around the outer side with lasts sticking up in the air. It stops for a limited time at each station where an individual is situated to do a specific task.A last is a mechanical shaped form of the human foot that is used for boot sole molding operations. Every pair of rain boots is assembled on a last and is completed by laying the successive coatings of skim, friction, uncured upper rubber components, and the likes up to the part where sole and heel are attached. Since the rubber is uncured, it is deemed adhesive. Therefore, once it is laid at the preferred position, it stays and plastered there.
