All safety shoes support and protect your feet while you work. Bata goes one step further. By working with scientists and conducting extensive in-house testing, Bata is a trendsetter in the industry when it comes to technology. The result: work shoes that offer the best possible support thanks to their perfect fit. Bata Industrials was founded in the 1970s in response to a specific demand from the market for footwear for professionals.
