Description
Lightweight Winter Safety PU Boots With CSA Toe and Midsole Protection
Product Overview
The Bekina StepliteXCi XC90BR is a one-piece foamed polyurethane winter safety boot rated to -40°C/-40°F. It meets CSA Z195-14 Grade 1 for composite toe and midsole impact protection and carries Omega 18kV electric shock resistance. At 40% lighter than rubber or PVC alternatives, these lightweight winter safety PU boots reduce fatigue during extended cold weather shifts on farms, processing floors, and fisheries docks.
Key Features and Benefits
- The Bekina StepliteXCi XC90BR stays flexible and insulating at temperatures down to -40°C/-40°F, keeping feet warm during full shifts in freezing conditions.
- One-piece foamed PU construction eliminates seams, creating a fully waterproof barrier that blocks water, slush, and chemical splashes from every angle.
- CSA Z195-14 Grade 1 composite toe cap and midsole protect against impact and puncture hazards without adding the cold-transfer weight of steel.
- The aggressive winter anti-clogging sole sheds mud, snow, and debris while maintaining grip on wet, icy, and greasy surfaces.
- At 40% lighter than rubber or PVC boots, the Bekina StepliteXCi XC90BR reduces leg fatigue on long shifts walking on cold processing floors or frozen fields.
- Anti-bacterial, abrasion-resistant lining paired with washable, shock-absorbing insoles keeps the interior hygienic and comfortable across multiple seasons of use.
- A built-in cut-off line at 11.5" lets crews shorten the 15" boot to a mid-calf height for warmer months or tasks that do not require full shin coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature are Bekina StepliteXCi XC90BR boots rated for?
The Bekina StepliteXCi XC90BR is thermally insulated to -40°C/-40°F. The foamed PU material traps air in a closed-cell structure, which insulates more effectively than solid rubber. These insulated PU safety boots hold warmth without added bulk or weight.
Are PU boots warmer than rubber boots?
Yes. Polyurethane contains millions of tiny closed air cells that act as natural insulation. This is why NEOTANE PU boots like the XC90BR retain heat better than solid rubber or PVC boots while weighing up to 40% less.
What is the difference between the Bekina XC90BR and the Z090GG?
The Bekina XC90BR vs Z090GG comparison comes down to cold rating and fit. The Z090GG (Thermolite) is rated to -50°C with an extra-wide fit and a taller 15" shaft. The XC90BR is rated to -40°C with a standard wide fit. Both carry CSA Grade 1 and Omega 18kV protection. Choose the Z090GG for the coldest environments or if you need an extra-wide boot.
What are the best lightweight winter safety boots for farming?
For farming in Canadian winters, the best lightweight winter safety boots need to combine cold insulation, composite toe protection, chemical resistance to manure and animal fats, and anti-clogging soles that shed mud. The Bekina StepliteXCi XC90BR checks all four and weighs 40% less than rubber safety boots.
Can I cut the Bekina XC90BR to a shorter height?
Yes. The boot has a scored cut-off line at 11.5" that lets you trim the 15" shaft to a mid-calf height. Use a sharp utility knife and follow the line evenly around the boot. This does not affect the waterproof seal below the cut line.
How long do Bekina PU boots last?
Bekina states that NEOTANE PU boots last up to three times longer than rubber or PVC boots of the same class. Actual lifespan depends on work conditions, but the one-piece construction with no seams or glued joints eliminates the most common failure points (sole separation, seam leaks) found in traditional rubber boots.
