The RF500 Taro is designed for the next generation of wearers, combining a classic low-profile silhouette with the uncompromising protection you expect from Rock Fall. Built on a traditional cup sole with a refined, lower-profile toe, it offers the durability of our proven safety footwear in a style you’ll feel confident wearing beyond the working day. Hidden within the leather upper and streamlined design is robust protection: a steel toe cap guards against heavy impacts and dropped tools, while a flexible anti-penetration midsole shields your feet from sharp underfoot hazards—providing assurance on unpredictable terrain. To keep you going through long shifts, the shock-absorbing comfort footbed minimises fatigue and eases pressure on hard surfaces. A dependable slip-resistant outsole ensures secure footing in even the most demanding conditions as well as combining Solum’s Bio-based component into the outsole, and increasing our use of renewable feedstock, thus reducing our reliance of fossil-fuel based materials. Classic in appearance yet built for today’s workplaces, the RF500 delivers the perfect balance of style, strength and all-day comfort. We guide our materials choices with a clear ""Better Materials Framework,"" committing to a new era of comfort and sustainability. This commitment to a greener future is delivered using leathers sourced from a Leather Working Group certified tannery, textiles made from 100% recycled polyester and recycled TPU in the internal components that maintain the shape of the heel section, giving new life to waste and keeping it out of landfills. Experience unparalleled comfort with a conscience.
