A few years ago, I was told that a company called Onguard was the the
distributor
for Bata Boots or Bata style boots.

( a.k.a. Polyblend 6" Plain Toe workshoe with cleated outsole )
For some weird reason, I got an email today from Onguard saying they
were bought out
by Dunlop Boots.

Anyways, you can order these boots at the following email:
orders-...@dunlopboots.com
specify "plain toe" or you will get a "steel toe," and I think most
cavers agree that steel toe is
NOT what you want. Also, you want to wear neoprene socks in these
if you are river caving,
so you want them a size larger than what you would normally wear.
The advantage to these boots is that they provide more ankle
protection than a pull-up style
rubber boot. And this brand has a more rugged sole for better grip.
