Product Overview

The Rock Fall RF290 Silt is a heavy-duty, waterproof safety Wellington designed for demanding outdoor and industrial conditions. Built with a robust neoprene and natural-rubber upper, a composite toecap and anti-penetration midsole, Silt delivers full S5-spec protection while ensuring comfort, insulation and durability on muddy, wet or uneven terrain - ideal for agriculture, utilities, construction and site-based work where weather and underfoot hazards are common.

Key Features

  • 100% non-metallic construction - composite/fibreglass toecap and para-aramid midsole reduce weight and avoid conductive components
  • Waterproof, flexible neoprene + natural rubber upper - keeps feet dry and comfortable in wet, muddy or damp environments
  • Rubber overlays and scuff-cap at toe & heel - extra abrasion, knock and scuff resistance for longer boot life on rough job sites
  • Para-aramid midsole - penetration-resistant against nails, sharp debris and other under-foot hazards
  • Composite toecap - impact and compression protection without the bulk or conductivity of steel
  • Activ-Step cushioning footbed - provides shock absorption and reduces fatigue over extended periods of wear
  • Solid nitrile / natural-rubber outsole (FORCE10) - offers excellent grip, abrasion and chemical (oil/fuel) resistance on slippery or uneven surfaces
  • Cold insulation (CI) and outsole heat & oil resistance (HRO / FO) - suitable for cold, wet or contaminated outdoor conditions
  • Reflective/high-visibility trim - improves wearer visibility in low-light or busy outdoor environments
