Abstract |
Sequel to tests on toe protection (CIS 82-494) and on sole of foot protection (CIS 82-1410). Comfort was compared by taking into consideration the test parmeters: fit between boot and foot, air circulation around foot, boot impermeability, thermal comfort, flexibility and mass. Tanned flesh split or corrected grain leathers are good materials from the viewpoints of themral comfort and sweat absorption. To comply with the various comfort criteria, boots weighing <1,300g, with absorbing insoles, specially treated for impermeability and sweat absorption, should be used. |
