History

John Boyd Dunlop innovated the tire, allowing people to explore further than ever before. Following his legacy, Dunlop Protective Footwear innovates the protective footwear industry to help further our simple cause of keeping people safe.

We protect those brave enough to put their boots on and go to work in the harshest elements on the planet. For over 130 years, we have strived to shape the future of the footwear industry. At the turn of the 20th century, we introduced PVC boots, created the first-ever Purofort® boot, and launched the Acifort range, products that changed the working conditions of various industries for good.

A LEGACY, AND A RELENTLESS PURSUIT, OF INNOVATION.
