Sika Colored BOA Fit System: Colour-Coded and Replaceable

In the food industry, visual identification is often an important part of hygiene management. Colour-coded solutions are commonly used for:

• Werkmateriaal
• Gereedschap
• Disposable PBM
• Poetsdoeken
• Detecteerbaar schrijfgereedschap
• PBM waaronder voetbescherming

With hygiene and zone segregation in mind, Sika Footwear developed the Sika Colored BOA Fit System. The Colored BOA Fit System allows compatible Sika safety footwear (PPE) to be fitted with BOA closures in four different colours.

Colour identification for safety footwear

Colour identification and zone segregation can help reduce the risk of cross-contamination. A fixed colour-coding system provides immediate visual distinction between:

• Production areas and departments within a facility.
• Different product groups or allergen streams.
• Cleaning equipment assigned to specific work zones.
• Risk levels and critical hygiene zones.

Various colour-coded solutions are also available for safety footwear. Examples include different colour options for:

• Soles
• Laces
• Clips or labels
• RFID or identification tags
• Footwear
• BOA closures

Colour-coded BOA closures for safety footwear

Sika Footwear has developed a replaceable BOA system available in four colours: the Sika Colored BOA Fit System. The system can be fitted after instruction and is available in four colours. In practice, this offers a few useful advantages:

• Available in blue, red, green and yellow
• Easy to install
• Only one footwear model required
• Complete colour-specific kit with accessories
• Easy to replace

Following instruction or training from Sika Footwear, replacement can usually be carried out in-house. This is useful for organisations that need flexibility in colour coding and zone segregation.

The BOA Fit System is compatible with selected Sika safety footwear models, including the Sika 60202 Cloud Microfibre and Sika 60202 Cloud Open Shoe. These shoes are used in environments such as:

• Food manufacturing
• Beverage production
• Dairy processing
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Hospitality
• Commercial kitchens

In hygiene-sensitive environments such as food production and pharmaceuticals, BOA safety footwear offers practical benefits. A BOA closure offers several practical advantages over traditional laces.

Laces or hook-and-loop fasteners can trap dirt or become caught on equipment and machinery. A BOA closure has fewer loose parts than traditional laces and can be cleaned quickly. They can also be opened and tightened quickly, making them particularly convenient when changing footwear or clothing.
