Fresh from a successful visit to FDIC in Indianapolis, YDS is looking to step forward into the US and Canada markets with developing footwear designs meeting the regions standards.

YDS is Europe’s largest manufacturer of police and military boots and has make technical boots since 1927.  A background such as this has helped to significantly develop the fire boot business, which is growing fast in UK and Europe.  A skilled injection soling process using special formula fire resistant rubber compounds is used to make Dual Density Rubber soles for the YDS fire range.  This process makes for a lighter, more flexible, more reliable sole option where the upper and sole bond is incredibly strong.  YDS also has a license to produce GORE-TEX® and CROSSTECH® footwear that ensures a thorough and consistent quality control process in the factory, in fact 2% of the production must be thoroughly submerged and tested using a flex, centrifugal and crumple test to ensure the highest quality.
