1.  What is Purofort?
Purofort was Developed by Dunlop in the 1980’s. It is a unique foaming material that consist of millions of tiny air bubbles. Due to the special ingredients and the unique way it is made the material will last longer, has excellent insulating properties and is lightweight, It gives superior comfort to the user!  Every year millions of people buy Dunlop Purofort boots all over the world because they offer the unique combination of comfort and durability.
 
2.  What are the advantages do these boots have compared to leather boots?
There are 3 main advantages Purofort has over leather boots.
·       Durability - Purofort will last up to 3 times longer because it will not crack or tear and it is easy to clean and is not affected by water.
·       Insulation -  The airbubbles in Purofort give a thermal barrier against cold and heat so the boots remain cool in summer and warm in winter!
·       Comfort – Purofort boots are lightweight and flexible and remain that way in cold temperatures.
 
3.  How are these boots different from rubber or PVC?
Both rubber and PVC are solid materials and do not have the benefit of the air bubbles, this makes them heavy and more rigid than Purofort, and because they don’t have insulating air bubbles they are more prone to excessive cold and heat. PVC and rubber have lower levels of abrasion resistance meaning Purofort boots give you up to 3 times more wear!
