Automation optimizes our production in France<\/b><\/p>\n

New step in our commitment to innovation and quality. We have recently invested in an automated assembly line<\/strong> at our St Sauveur de Givre-en-Mai plant in France.<\/p>\n

This modernized infrastructure will allow us to significantly increase our production capacities, to better meet our customers expectations<\/p>\n

Investment co-financed by the European Union and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"bloc_marque_cofi\"\n\t

A pioneer<\/strong> in its field, notably through the launch of its range with a fiberglass toecap instead of a metal one<\/strong>, BOCHE adapts development as closely as possible to fiefighters needs and expectations to manufacture safety shoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Perfecting its expertise for nearly 35 years<\/strong>, BOCHE supplies a significant part of the SDIS (French Departmental Fire and Rescue Services) as well as the BSPP (Paris Fire Brigade)<\/a> and the BMPM (Marseille Marine Fire Battalion)<\/a>, that has made BOCHE the leader manufacturer of intervention shoes on the French Fire Brigade market.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t

Placing high requirements at the heart of its production, BOCHE company offers a complete range in compliance with the French Civil Security label<\/strong>. This range also complies with european standards and ensures great reliability for BOCHE shoes.<\/p>\n

Moreover, BOCHE is a pathfinder with the INNOSHOE\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0approach aimed at increased safety<\/strong> of its articles through tests going beyond normative requirements for better protection of users.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBOCHE: passion for shoes\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t

\"\"BOA\u00ae Fit System<\/h3>\n

The BOA<\/a>\u00ae Fit System delivers microadjustable, precision fit engineered to perform in the toughest conditions.<\/p>\n

BOA\u00ae is redefining the future of fit.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

1. Dial<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

Varying in size, design, and user interface, BOA\u00ae dials fine-tune fit with precision, allowing for quick adjustments and peak performance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

2. Lace<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

The workhorse of the BOA\u00ae Fit System, BOA\u00ae laces routinely tolerate the toughest environments and field tests, and are expertly configured for precision and performance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

3. Guides<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

Lace guides replace traditional eyelets and the deficiencies that come with them. BOA\u00ae lace guides function to minimize friction and distribute even closure.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Components<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

The components of the BOA\u00ae Fit System are tested under the toughest conditions and dial and laces are covered by the BOA\u00ae Lifetime Guarantee.<\/p>\n\t

Soles by MICHELIN\u00ae outsoles\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Based on user needs, BOCHE and Soles by MICHELIN\u00ae work hand in hand to create and develop the best possible combination of rubber compound, tread paSern and expertise.<\/p>\n

Each sole is uniquely co-developed<\/strong> between Soles by MICHELIN\u00ae and BOCHE to meet specific user needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"MICHELIN\n\t

ORTHOLITE\u00ae insole<\/h3>\n

\"\"Each ORTHOLITE\u00ae foam incorporates 5% recycled rubber<\/strong>, thus contributing to the reduction of waste dumped in landfills by several tons each year. In terms of long-term cushioning, ORTHOLITE\u00ae insoles stand out with less than 5% compression clearance over time, ensuring that comfort and fit remain consistent inside the shoe, providing an experience maximum at each use.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the exceptional breathability of ORTHOLITE\u00ae insoles is ensured by the open-cell PU foam, which allows air circulation ranging from 95% to 100%<\/strong>. This feature keeps the foot cool inside the shoe. ORTHOLITE\u00ae insoles are also machine washable<\/strong>, returning to like-new condition with every wash without compromising their performance benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thanks to their lightness, ORTHOLITE\u00ae insoles improve the performance of shoes while providing ventilated comfort. Additionally, the unique open-cell structure promotes effective moisture management<\/strong>, wicking excess moisture away from the foot to create a cooler, drier and healthier environment inside the shoe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t

SYMPATEX\u00ae Membrane<\/h3>\n

Safety and performance also require comfort. This is why the SYMPATEX\u00ae membrane is essential to the design of our intervention shoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beyond the comfort<\/strong> that SYMPATEX\u00ae provides, the ecological and circular approach is just as beneficial. In fact, the SYMPATEX\u00ae membrane is made up of 15% recycled materials:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Optimal microclimate in the shoe, particularly during extreme physical activities.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Removal of the unpleasant sensation of humidity by accelerated transport of perspiration from the foot to the outside<\/p>\n

\u2022 Quicker drying<\/strong> of the lining in case of extreme humidity<\/p>\n

\u2022 Reduction of odors<\/strong> and<\/strong> the appearance of blisters<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Very comfortable to wear and dry feet for maximum performance in variable weather conditions<\/p>\n

SYMPATEX\u00ae<\/b> guarantees its membrane:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\u2022 Without PTFE or PFAS

D3O\u00ae absorption<\/h3>\n

D3O\u00ae is a patented technology used to absorb shock.<\/p>\n

Smart material that absorbs shock and does not sag<\/strong> when exposed to external force. The molecular network structure effectively disperses force to the sides. D3O\u00ae can be used in extreme cold as well as high temperatures.<\/p>\n

D3O\u00ae absorbs and dissipates energy from impacts, reducing the amount of force transmitted to your body compared to standard foams.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
