Rooted in history. Inspired by innovation. From our humble beginnings as a bicycle tire plug company, Tingley has continued to innovate, developing a full line of protective, liquid-proof footwear and clothing. Today, Tingley continues to be an industry leader. From the world’s first rubber overshoes and our polymer hazmat boots to exterior-coated polyurethane protective clothing with sealed seams, we make gear for those that handle the hard tasks.  At Tingley, we design our products for performance from the inside out. Because you’re tough and hardworking… we need to be, too. We understand that your work is as demanding as it is important, and you deserve to be safe and comfortable in any environment. Mud, rain, chemicals, traffic, wind, darkness – the elements and hazards are no match for the protection and reliability that Tingley boots and apparel provide. Tingley safety footwear sets the standard for protection and comfort. Our industrial work boots, safety shoes and steel toe boots are designed to withstand the toughest environments, providing slip resistance, waterproof protection and exceptional comfort to get the job done. Tingley safety clothing sets the standard for protection, compliance and comfort. Our 100% waterproof rain gear, jackets, vests, overalls, flame-resistant and high-visibility clothing are designed for challenging work environments and casual outdoor use. Tingley's footwear range is specifically positioned around waterproof protection and keeping workers' feet dry in demanding environments. The company describes its overshoes as a way to protect footwear from rain, mud, chemicals, and premature wear.
