Ordinary boots weren’t made for the farm.
Most farmers in India work in slippers, canvas shoes or cheap PVC gumboots. None of them were designed for agriculture. Gumboots crack in the sun and get pulled off in paddy mud; construction safety boots are heavy, hot and collect kilograms of soil.
Farmers searching for snake-bite proof boots, agri boots or safety boots for farming need one boot that handles all of it. That is why we built the AB-01 with 1,000+ farmers across 25 districts — a single agricultural safety boot with seven protective layers.

Each protection answers a hazard documented in Indian fields.
Snake-bite protection
An 840-denier para-aramid collar wraps the ankle and lower calf — where over 70% of snakebites in Indian fields land — and is tested to dissipate 150 N fang strikes from vipers and kraits.
Puncture-proof sole
A flexible, non-metallic composite plate gives zero penetration at 1,200 N (EN 12568), stopping babool thorns, nails and sugarcane stubble without adding steel weight.
Chemical resistance
A fluoropolymer barrier rated EN ISO 374-1 Class 3 keeps pesticides, urea and herbicides away from skin for 500+ exposure cycles.
Waterproof for paddy
A seamless, IPX7-rated vulcanized shell with a heel lock that stays on in deep paddy mud and monsoon water.
All-day comfort
A dual-density EVA footbed built from 500+ foot scans cuts peak heel pressure by 42% across 14-hour shifts.
Self-cleaning grip
6.5 mm directional lugs shed black cotton mud with every step and grip wet bunds up to a 35° slope.

Snake-bite proof boots & agri boots — your questions.
Straight answers about protection, waterproofing and where to buy.
Are AgroBalanz boots snake-bite proof?
The AB-01 is engineered to resist snake bites. An 840-denier para-aramid collar around the ankle and lower calf is tested to dissipate 150 N fang strikes, and in our pilots with 355 farmers there were zero snakebite incidents. No footwear can guarantee protection from every bite, so always seek medical help immediately (call 108 in India) if bitten.
What are the best safety boots for farmers in India?
Farmers need boots built for Indian fields, not construction sites: waterproof for paddy, puncture-resistant against babool thorns and stubble, chemical-resistant against pesticides and urea, and light enough for 14-hour shifts. The AgroBalanz AB-01 was co-designed with 1,000+ farmers across 25 districts to meet exactly these needs.
How are agri boots different from normal gumboots?
Ordinary PVC gumboots crack in the sun, get pulled off by mud suction, trap sweat and offer no puncture or snake-strike protection. AgroBalanz agri boots add seven protective layers, including a composite puncture plate, para-aramid strike collar, breathable antimicrobial lining and a self-cleaning outsole — while weighing 40% less than industrial gumboots.
Are AgroBalanz boots waterproof for paddy fields?
Yes. The outer shell is seamless vulcanized rubber rated IPX7 for submersion, with a contoured heel lock so the boot is not pulled off in deep paddy mud.
Do the boots protect against thorns and pesticides?
Yes. A non-metallic composite plate gives zero penetration at 1,200 N (EN 12568), stopping acacia thorns, nails and stubble. A fluoropolymer barrier rated EN ISO 374-1 Class 3 resists urea, glyphosate and organophosphates.
