A boot (10) adapted to provide an improved level of protection against explosive blasts is described. In one embodiment, the boot has a sole (12), an upper (11) and a cocoon (13) portion which substantially encloses the foot. The cocoon can be comprised of an aramid weave (21), and/or, a further layer of carbon fibre (22) and/or woven ceramic fibres or ceramic/glass-ceramic woven composite fibres. The sole can incorporate layers of woven aramid and carbon fibres and a deflector plate (23) to provide enhanced protection. In an alternative embodiment, the cocoon can surround the boot and provide a quick and relatively inexpensive means of improving the blast protection to a wearer.

Botte (10) conçue pour offrir une meilleure protection contre les explosions. Dans un mode de réalisation, cette botte comporte une semelle (12), une tige (11) et un cocon (13) enveloppant sensiblement le pied. Ce cocon peut comprendre une armure en aramide (21) et/ou une couche supplémentaire en fibre de carbone (22) et/ou en fibres céramiques tissées ou en fibres composites céramiques/vitrocéramiques tissées. La semelle peut se composer de couches de fibres aramides et de carbone tissées, ainsi que d'une plaque déflectrice (23) afin d'offrir une meilleure protection. Dans une variante, le cocon peut entourer la botte, offrant ainsi un moyen rapide et relativement peu coûteux d'améliorer la protection de l'utilisateur contre les explosions.
