Rock Fall Vulcan Flame Resistant HRO/S3/SRC Foundry Safety Boot

Product Overview

The Rock Fall RF7000 Vulcan is a heavy-duty, high-leg foundry safety boot engineered for extreme industrial environments, including foundries, metal-works, welding, heavy fabrication and hot-work sites. Built from flame-retardant leather with heat-resistant components, it offers protection against molten metal splash, high temperatures and common workplace hazards – while still providing comfort and durability for demanding shifts.

Key Features

• Flame-retardant full-grain leather upper with flame-resistant stitching – resists sparks, molten metal splash and extreme heat
• Fibreglass protective toecap – delivers impact protection without the weight of steel, reducing fatigue while maintaining safety
• Composite / para-aramid penetration-resistant midsole – guards against nails, shards and other under-foot hazards
• Internal metatarsal guard (Impact-Shield®) plus digging-plate underfoot – extra protection for top of foot and sole, ideal for rough terrain or foundry floors
• Solid nitrile rubber outsole (FORCE10®) – heat-resistant (HRO), oil/fuel and slip resistant with strong grip on rough, oily or uneven surfaces
• Heat-resistant design – withstands high temperatures and molten metal environments (splash resistance up to 1400 °C)
• Water-repellent treatment and anti-static properties – suitable for varied industrial conditions including wet or conductive environments
• Activ-Step® recycled-foam comfort footbed and cushioned midsole – reduces fatigue during long hours on feet without compromising protection
• High-leg design with secure collar and pull-loops for easy don/doff – useful when speed matters or when working in cluttered environments

Safety Standards & Compliance

• EN ISO 20349-1:2017 + A1:2020 S3 HI CI HRO SRC Fe – certified foundry safety footwear standard covering toe protection, penetration resistance, heat & splash resistance, insulation, slip-resistance and fuel/oil resistance
• SRC slip-resistant outsole – tested for grip on steel and ceramic surfaces under contaminated conditions (oil, water, debris)
• HRO heat-resistant outsole – suitable for contact with hot surfaces up to ~300 °C
• HI/CI insulation in the sole unit – helps protect against hot or cold ground conditions, useful in foundry or outdoor worksites
• Anti-static and metal-free construction – suitable for ESD-sensitive environments and workplaces with metal-free PPE policies

Typical Applications

• Foundries and metal-melting / casting operations
• Steel mills, smelting plants and heavy fabrication worksites
• Welding, hot-work, molten metal handling and high-temperature industrial processes
• Construction, infrastructure and heavy civil engineering where heat, molten splash or hot surfaces are present
• Utilities, rail, mining, quarrying and petrochemical industries requiring high-spec protective footwear
• Heavy maintenance, repair and industrial service roles – including welding, fabrication, plant maintenance and overhaul tasks
