BOROS Fire fighting boots certified according to EN 15090.
Highest comfort. Maximum protection

Full PSA competence, – Rosenbauer is not only the market-leading manufacturer of firefighting vehicles and extinguishing technology, but also produces personal protective clothing, helmets, and are a pioneer in the development of fire fighting boots. What really sets Rosenbauer apart is having the flexibility of a system provider and the innovative power of a manufacturer who develops and produces a complete range of personal protective equipment

Specially developed for the fire service

With their BOROS boot line, the Rosenbauer developers have paid particular attention to making the boots feel as if they are one with the wearer. They aim to not only be stable, robust and optimally protect the feet of firefighters as they go about their tough, everyday life, but to also be as light as possible, as comfortable as possible and as practical as possible. The answer to all these demands is a line of boots that leaves nothing to be desired and offers the right model for every taste.

All BOROS models are certified according to the European standard (EN15090 F2A) for fire fighting boots and are suitable for outdoor and indoor use.

The Construction. What makes BOROS boots different?

When it comes to safety and durability, all BOROS models share the same features, delivering uncompromising reliability.

The standard is EN 15090

European standard for firefighting footwear Type 2: All fire fighting and rescue operations, protection against penetration, toe protection, no protection against chemical hazards

The right climate. Sympatex ensures dry feet

Whether it’s scorching heat or freezing cold, steam or icy rain, a firefighter’s boots are exposed to the toughest of adverse external conditions. But this is only one side of the story. Inside the boot, a sweaty, stressed foot can quickly create a quasi-tropical climate. To meet this challenge and regulate temperature and humidity, Rosenbauer developed the ideal solution for their boots by using a membrane made from Sympatex.

Why use Sympatex in BOROS models?

All climate membranes are selectively permeable with respect to water. This means that they are impermeable to water droplets, but permeable to water vapour, which makes them breathable.

Maximum safety.

The chainsaw is an important tool not only for fighting forest fires, but also for working around burning buildings and in technical and disaster operations. Rosenbauer also offers its BOROS B2 and BOROS B4 firefighting boots with integrated protection against chainsaw cuts to ensure the best possible protection. The BOROS B2 CS and BOROS B4 CS models incorporate several KEVLAR® layers, whose fibers reliably block the chainsaw on contact.

Visible protection

So that you can always be sure that you are actually wearing the right boots for chainsaw work, the BOROS B2 CS and BOROS B4 CS differ visually from the models without cut protection: instead of a red thread, a golden thread has been used for the seams.

Protection level 3 according to EN 17249

Both BOROS B2 CS and BOROS B4 CS guarantee protection against chainsaw cuts at protection level 3 in accordance with EN 17249, reliably preventing cutting injuries up to a chain speed of 28 m/s.
This ensures maximum safety in operation

BOROS B1.
The pull-on boot from Rosenbauer.

The flex zone in the instep and ankle area ensures that the BOROS B1 provides very good freedom of movement. The simple pull-on system ensures an extremely low weight boot that requires minimum cleaning effort. The simple and well thought-out design means the BOROS B1 is optimally cost-efficient

BOROS B2.
Strong grip and quick closure.

The special 2-zone lacing allows individual width adjustment of the foot and shaft areas. The BOROS B2 retains the selected fit thanks to the cord tightener, allowing you to tighten or loosen the boot extremely quickly and easily using the zipper.

BOROS B3 Cross.
The boot with the Boa® Fit System.

The Boa® Fit System features rubberized stainless steel wiring for adjustable and
uniform lacing on the BOROS B3 Cross. Simply twist the Boa® Dial, which is placed on the boot strap to achieve the hold you want. It couldn’t be easier to use and allows you to adjust the width of your boots in seconds, even with the boot already on. Want your boots a little looser for a certain situation, but tighter elsewhere? The BOROS B3 Cross has you covered. Twist and you’re done

BOROS B4.
The boot with the Rosenbauer quick release fastener.

With one pull on the Rosenbauer quick release fastener, the BOROS B4 is put on. In the same way, with just one click the central buckle releases the tension from the lacing system, enabling the boot to be removed in a flash. Individual minor adjustments can also be made in two separate areas.

Despite the flatness of the sole of the foot, people can actually rotate their bent lower leg 360° thanks to their ankle joint. The BOROS B4 does justice to this natural mobility with its special flex zone in the ankle area. It allows for natural flexing and leaning movements while protecting against too much strain. This means that the emergency services can enjoy the maximum protection and almost forget that they are wearing boots

The unique quick release fastener.
Perfect fit in a matter of seconds
