SAVITAR
FIREFIGHTER BOOT
Firefighting is one of the most dangerous and physical loaded
working group around the world. Firemen face with various,
complex, unexpected and rapidly changing situations in firefighting
and rescueing operations.
Savitar is a work safety shoe designed for firefighters and it
provides different options for changing situations.
The graduation project was condacted
with footwear company YDS.

Firemen wear traditional insulated and heavy rubber boots to
foot protection.
These boots cause additonal load about 4.5 kg.
Heavy and bulky boots may limit the firefighters’ walking
and motions in the fire area.
Every additional 1 kg, increases oxygen consumpiton level 7% and
this causes getting tired rapidly and thermal stress.
Otherwise, as stated in previous, firefighters be in very different
environments and different duties but wear the same boot
for all duties and conditions. Due to the type of the duty,
in some conditions wearing chaussures limits their mobility.
