Nice to meet you!

Bekina Boots is a Belgian family business that manufactures innovative work boots from NEOTANE, a high-quality polyurethane developed in-house. Our roots are in Kluisbergen, in the heart of the beautiful Flemish Ardennes. Since we began in 1962, we have grown into a market leader specializing in the development, production, and worldwide sale of safety work boots for the agricultural, fisheries, food-processing and industrial sectors, as well as work boots for leisure.

Sustainability and innovation

Bekina Boots was founded in 1962 by the Vanderbeke family and has grown from a family of cobblers to one of the leading international players on the polyurethane safety boots market. In the meantime, the third generation is standing at the helm of the company. In 60 years of experience, we have been anything but idle. With our in-house state-of-the-art laboratory for quality control and innovation, we are constantly improving the various features of our boots.

We developed our own material, NEOTANE: a high-quality polyurethane that is 40% lighter and lasts three times longer than rubber and PVC. Not only does this mean a higher standard of quality for the wearer, who will not have to replace his or her boots as often; this also helps us contribute to a better environment.
