The earliest inkling of Bagshaw Footwear dates back to 1872. William Bagshaw pioneered the tanning and footwear industry in South Africa. From humble beginnings to a large transparent, people-orientated company over 120 years later. Like William Bagshaw, who seamlessly re-invented himself from being a skilled mason to a master tanner, so we have built up the knowledge and the industry foresight from over a century’s worth of experience. We are committed through our trusted ways and business integrity to craft industrial footwear based on the knowledge harnessed from long days working and building South Africa.

Ndlovu - Every man does not particularly crave adventure and excitement. He just wants to live his life and get on with the job at hand. The good old boy, the person next door, the realist, the working stiff and the solid citizen. The Ndlovu brand is at the heart of this person’s workday - he knows he needs solid reliability and a quality product. It doesn’t give him status as he doesn’t crave it - it is there for one sole purpose, to make the job a little more comfortable and in turn, make him more efficient.

Shu - She is an Innocent. But that doesn’t mean she looks weak and insecure. With the soft, comfortable and stylish appearance you might be forgiven for thinking so. But underneath those descriptors is a tough, reliable and proud interior that strives to get the job done right, the first time. Just like the women who wears our brand, she wants to be free to be herself and not confined to a pre-determined style, job or workspace. She is comfortable with herself – she is ambitious and driven. There is no such thing as “it’s a mans
world” – not anymore.

Fuel - is the real South African. Hardworking, trusted and reliable - gets the job done. Fuel is the brand that adds character and substance to a hardworking individual. It is about putting on what you want to get out. It’s about having initiative and pursuing new skills - not about sitting down for the free ride. It’s about willing to go for high risk and high responsibility. It’s about being a specialist - the go to guy. It’s about doing the things ordinary people wont…
FUEL QUALITY ASSURANCES
Due to the highly divergent nature of the work environment, it is impossible to issue a blanket, indefinite and unconditional guarantee on safety footwear. This sort of all encompassing guarantee would invite abuse from unscrupulous sectors. Instead, each claim is individually assessed to determine whether or not the footwear has provided the wearer “fair wear” within his or her specific work environment. Naturally as an SABS manufacturer, Bagshaw Footwear accepts full responsibility for unprovoked footwear faults arising from material or manufacturing error. In instances where doubt exists, the question is asked whether or not the following safe boundaries were exceeded:
• WATER – Rubber / leather footwear is designed to be water-resistant, not water proof. In areas where there is constant exposure to water, employees should wear gumboots, not leather footwear.
• OIL – Rubber footwear is highly resistant to oil, although life of footwear will be prolonged if excess oil is removed from the surface of the leather.
• ACIDS – Rubber exhibits good resistance to a broad spectrum of acids, providing that they are reasonably diluted. Concentrated Hydrochloric, Sulphuric and Nitric acids will attack metal, so it is unreasonable to expect Nitrile Rubber to endure prolonged contact with them.
• HEAT – Fuel rubber footwear is resistant to temperatures up to 300 degrees Celsius. Specialised heat resistant footwear is required for environments exceeding 90 degrees Celsius.
• MINES – Fuel safety footwear is well suited for work on mines.
• CEMENT – Cement in conjunction with water, frequently dehydrates the leather in safety footwear. Rubber footwear acquits itself well on construction sites.
All reasonable claims for faulty footwear will be met but in any instances of disagreement or dispute the matter shall be settled by discussions between Bagshaw Footwear and the customer or failing which, by referral to the South African Bureau of Standards in Pretoria.

Lemaitre - combines fashion with flair. A combination of the most stylish and comfortable safety shoes. For people that wear them every day, whether that means keeping to basics of a factory environment or getting creative after a day on the grind. Some are known for a classic aesthetic and there are those who are not afraid to be edgy. Its about breaking the mould of professionalism to relaxation. For wearability at its peak - it’s the only way to transition from work to play.
Lemaitre SoLe UnitSParaboLic – comfortThe parabolic sole is designed to provide the user with extra comfort. The thickness of the polyurethane (PU) midsole ensures excellent comfort, while the parabolic curve in the sole adds “spring” by absorbing the pressure of the person’s mass. Discomfort is eliminated by the deep cleats and air movement channels prevent heat dissipating into the footwear through the sole. A slight shift in the body weight causes the parabolic sole to move air through the channels. Good “ladder grips” allow practical use of the footwear. The footwear, with an extra wide and extra high toecap, suits SA conditions.
maxeco – GeneraL USe:The Maxeco sole unit is designed for general use and applications, and has the added feature of built-in arch support for long hours on your feet. A large percentage of “surface contact” area offers superior slip resistance, with a geometrically designed “tread pattern” to displace water under the footwear in wet conditions. The footwear, with a wide toecap, suits SA conditions.
aPoLLo – SLiP reSiStance:The Apollo sole unit is specifically designed for maximum slip resistance. This sole unit is designed to provide maximum surface contact, and the square cleat edges and flow lines in the cleat design can traverse any surface area to maximise the slip resistance effect. The footwear, with a wide toecap, suits SA conditions.
raPtor – torSion controL:This innovative and ground-breaking sole construction has a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) plate designed around the pressure points exerted on the arch of the foot. The TPU plate also gives maximum support to the ankle muscles in instances when the ankle could be twisted or sprained. The footwear, with an extra wide toecap, suits SA conditions.
Lemaitre footWearLemaitre Footwear bears the SANS quality mark as well as the ISO 9001: 2011 Quality Management Systems certification, which are applied during manufacturing. Specification is SANS 20345:2011 - Boots and Shoes with Direct Injection-moulded Soles.
materials:
Genuine leather uppers • Anti-static insoles and socks • Optional steel toecap withstands 200 J • Optional stainless steel midsole withstands 130 kg nail-driven force • Double density polyurethane (PU), with special anti-static properties.nb: As flexing, contamination, damage and wear can cause changes in electrical resistance, regularly check the sole. Should any new footbed inners be added, these should be checked for anti-static properties prior to insertion.
care of footwear
Regular maintenance of your footwear is important • Regularly remove all dirt with a moist cloth and then apply a good quality wax shoe polish • After use, the footwear should be kept in an open, well ventilated room • Allow wet footwear to dry slowly; never place near a heater or central heating element • Change footwear regularly, as leather is a natural product and should be allowed to rest • Wear cotton or natural fabric socks.
Lemaitre QUaLitY aSSUranceSDue to the highly divergent nature of the work environment, it is impossible to issue a blanket, indefinite & unconditional guarantee on safety footwear. An all-encompassing guarantee would invite abuse from unscrupulous sectors. Instead, each claim is individually assessed to determine whether or not the footwear has provided the wearer “fair wear” within his or her specific work environment.
Lemaitre, being an SABS / ISO approved manufacturer, accepts full responsibility for unprovoked footwear faults, arising from material or manufacturing error.
In instances of doubt, the following limitations will be borne in mind:
• Water – Polyurethane/Leather footwear is water-resistant, not waterproof. In areas where there is constant exposure to water, employees should wear gumboots.
• Oil – Polyurethane-soled footwear is resistant to fuel and oil. The life of footwear will be prolonged if excess oil is regularly removed from the leather surface.
• Acids - Polyurethane exhibits good resistance to a broad spectrum of acids, providing that they are reasonably diluted. Concentrated hydrochloric, sulphuric and nitric acids will attack leather and most metals, so it is unreasonable to expect polyurethane to endure prolonged contact with them. (See the Polyurethane Chemical Resistance Table.)
• Heat – The sole of Lemaitre polyurethane footwear is resistant to temperatures up to 90 degrees Celsius (not the uppers). Specialised heat-resistant footwear is required for environments exceeding 90 degrees Celsius.
• Mines - Lemaitre safety footwear is well suited for work on open-cast mines. However, when worn underground, PU footwear could constitute a hazard when it catches fire as it will give off a noxious gas. It should therefore be worn with circumspection.
• Cement – Cement, in conjunction with water, dehydrates the leather of safety footwear, hardening it and ultimately corroding the PU sole. However, PU footwear still acquits itself well on construction sites.
All reasonable claims for faulty footwear will be met, but in any instances of disagreement or dispute, the matter shall be settled by discussions between Bagshaw Footwear and the customer or, failing which, by referral to the South African Bureau of Standards in Pretoria.
tranSition from Work to PLaY
Wide toecap
Lemaitre Footwear is fitted with wide fitting toecaps for South African conditions.
Storage
Never store footwear for extended periods • Polyurethane is a “green product” and will decompose through a process called hydrolysis, if stored in warm, damp and dark areas for extended periods.
benefits of double-density polyurethane soles are:
The high-density PU sole layer is highly abrasion resistant. Due to its high impact absorption properties, the low-density PU midsole will give a high degree of comfort. The PU sole is oil and petrol resistant. PU has a lightweight advantage over other soling materials. The sole pattern ensures a non-slip grip on most surfaces.
