Reflective Safety Meets Country Style

Reflective Safety Meets Country Style

That is how the BBC Countryfile magazine tester headlined her recent Buckbootz Walkerz® wear test.

She was immediately impressed by the thoughtful design which features a sloped collar incorporating pull-on lever openings which in combination with kick-off heel spurs makes fitting and removal “a doddle”, as she puts it.

Built with the toughness expected from Buckbootz“ she found Walkerz® to be “surprisingly light and easy to wear”. That did come with the caveat that she feels Walkerz® benefit from “a bit of a break in“ but that they became easy to wear for long walks or outdoor work without feeling “clunky” and suitable for both muddy fields and urban environments. Buckbootz commitment to durability and comfort, the snug fit, sole grip and ankle support all come in for praise.

It is particularly gratifying to see the 360º reflectivity being praised for being reassuring to wear in low light conditions and particularly satisfying to have the performance, comfort and visibility enhancement features which were key to Walkerz design at the drawing board stage recognised in an independent wear test.
