For over 30 years, the Maxeco safety boot has been a trusted companion for South Africa’s agricultural workforce. From farms to packhouses and Agri-processing plants, this boot has protected workers through long hours, tough terrains, and unpredictable weather.

Agriculture remains a cornerstone of the country’s economy, providing food, employment, and stability, making reliable safety footwear essential for those who keep this industry moving forward.

Workers need protective gear that matches their dedication and resilience, standing up to the demands of muddy fields, dusty storage areas, and extreme weather conditions. That’s why Lemaitre has introduced the Maxeco Pro, an upgraded version of South Africa’s most trusted safety boot. Built with real worker insights, it has been crafted to deliver greater comfort, durability, and protection, ensuring that every farmworker has the support they need from sunrise to sunset.

Purpose-Built for South African Farms and farmers

The people who are employed across the agricultural sector know exactly what they need to get the job done safely and comfortably. That’s why real worker feedback shaped the improvements made to the Maxeco Pro. South African farmworkers, tractor operators, and packhouse employees identified their biggest challenges:

• More comfort for long shifts spent standing or moving on rough terrains.
• Better moisture and odour control to withstand hot and humid conditions.
• Increased durability for rugged environments, from muddy fields to dusty storage areas.
