Since 1993, NEOS Overshoe has been designing and manufacturing premium overshoes built to protect workers and consumers alike from the elements. With its original focus on the consumer and outdoor enthusiast markets, the brand has evolved over the past 15 years to become the leader in overshoe protection in the industrial and professional markets. Today multiple models are available to service workers across a broad spectrum of industries. These include versions featuring integrated ice cleats to minimize slips and falls during winter use, and non-spiked versions, offering 100% protection for your footwear of choice from wet, muddy, snow and icy conditions.

SureWerx CEO, Chris Baby, shared that “Adding NEOS Overshoe to our ever growing, world-class portfolio of SureWerx brands moves us another step toward our goal of becoming the global leader in Safety and Productivity. The recent acquisitions of the Due North, K1, Avenger Work Boots, Nautilus Safety Footwear and MEGAComfort brands, along with our existing Pioneer/Ranpro PU boot program will now be complemented by another power brand helping to build out our complete safety footwear offering.”

“As with the recent MEGAComfort acquisition, we see tremendous opportunities to leverage the NEOS Overshoe brand across our broad spectrum of distributors and end users alike. Offering a full range of premium overshoes enhances our one-stop shop foot protection program and further strengthens our position as a leader in that market,” stated FSI President, Aaron Atkinson. “We are thrilled to be adding this highly respected brand to our growing footwear portfolio. One year ago SureWerx was not in safety footwear at all, but today, through acquisition and aggressive growth strategies, we are becoming a serious provider of foot protection products with more to come.”
