LaCrosse Footwear Inc, a leading provider of branded work and outdoor footwear for expert users, announced that the Company has been awarded a $1.25 million direct contract to produce the Phoenix Bunker Boot for the Chicago Fire Department.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA-1971) certified Phoenix Bunker Boot is manufactured in the Company's ISO-9001 certified manufacturing facility, located in Portland, Oregon. The contract is expected to be fulfilled by January 1, 2007.
"Our strategy is to develop innovative products with the highest performance and safety standards, targeting niche markets including fire fighters, who put their lives on the line and rely on durable, protective footwear," said Joseph P. Schneider, CEO of LaCrosse Footwear.
"We are extremely proud the City of Chicago selected our Phoenix Bunker Boot, which surpassed the rigorous performance standards of one of the largest fire departments in the US. This award further supports our growth strategy, tapping into the potential of the work and fire markets."
The Phoenix Bunker Boot is built with breathable, fire and chemical resistant 7.5 oz. struck-through leather and CROSSTEC protective fabric lining to withstand the most severe and exhaustive conditions.
It is designed to provide the strength and support for structural fire fighting, including a puncture resistant shin guard, steel ladder shank, and a stable stitchdown construction base to reduce foot fatigue.
The Phoenix also incorporates fit and functional features, including the reinforced stitched and riveted pull straps for an easy-on fit, an anti- microbial and moisture wicking footbed to endure extreme wear conditions, and a non-slip fire resistant Vibram outsole for unparalleled ladder grip and field traction.
The protective steel toe and the puncture resistant steel midsole meets and exceeds ASTM/ANSI specifications.
