Based on the new Otter STS, the Bobcat really catches your attention with its honey Nubuck upper and two-tone sole unit, not to mention the fact that it's one of the most comfortable safety boots on the market. ### what safety features does the new V6420.01 BOBCAT STS contain? With a composite toecap and steel midsole, the Bobcat STS provides protection from falling objects and underfoot penetration from sharps, while remaining lightweight, reducing wearer fatigue. With an **SRC** slip rating, the safety boot offers the highest levels of slip resistance. It also meets the high spec **S1P **safety standard, packing in the following features and making it perfectly suited to construction and engineering, as well as many other industries:  - Anti-static - Heat resistant outsole to 150° - Composite toecap - Steel midsole - SRC slip rating ### What other features does this sand safety boot contain? ![V12 Footwear last](https://blog.v12footwear.com/hs-fs/hubfs/last%20right%20foot%20outstep.jpg?width=240&height=240&name=last%20right%20foot%20outstep.jpg "last right foot outstep.jpg")Like the Otter boot, the Bobcat is **incredibly lightweight** and features an ergonomic top band for comfort when driving. The honey Nubuck upper really makes this product stand out and features a **non-snagging eyelet system for safety**. The heel pull tab makes it easy to get on, and an anti-slip heel lining keeps your foot securely in place.  We have worked hard to make this an incredibly comfortable safety boot. By developing a brand new extreme comfort shape to create the boot around; we have buried a shock-absorbing heel pod within the sole, reducing impact on your knees and back. The boot benefits from the Dual Comfort shock absorbing footbed. With rebound foam, the insole provides **full foot cushioning** and shock resistance. But the biggest feature has got to be the new STS sole - **your only contact with the ground** and your best control to prevent slipping over in the workplace.  ### The new STS sole ![V12 Footwear Ladder Grips](https://blog.v12footwear.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ladder%20Grips.jpg?width=230&height=230&name=Ladder%20Grips.jpg "Ladder Grips.jpg")**SRC compliant**, the STS is modelled on tractor tyre technology. The large lug pattern provides **excellent braking and forward traction on loose surfaces**, whilst the large channels are angled to prevent clogging and to ensure a self-cleaning sole. Ladders are common-place in many industries. Falls from height account for **more than a quarter of all fatal injuries in the workplace**. This is why the STS has a deep ladder grip, that complies with Firefighter boots standards, which is over and above safety boots requirements. This provides you with optimum grip and safety. These ladder grips are the **first in the industry to meet the firefighter standard** EN15090:2012.  What's more, slips are most likely to happen when the heel is placed down to make a new step. That's why we have designed the **heel strike at 7°**, the angle at which most slips occur. **Angled splines provide increased contact with the ground**, effortlessly cutting through water or dirt at every step. This ensures grip and braking performance, keeping wearers firm-footed.    ### PEACE OF MIND ![V12 Footwear - 200 day guarantee](https://blog.v12footwear.com/hs-fs/hubfs/200%20day%20guarantee.jpg?width=230&height=230&name=200%20day%20guarantee.jpg "200 day guarantee.jpg")   We design our boots to the highest standard to ensure they **keep you safe, day after day**.
