Molded rubber boots are a type of footwear made from rubber. These boots are known for their water resistance, durability, and often protective qualities. They are usually used in wet or muddy conditions, industrial settings, agriculture, gardening, and outdoor activities. These boots lack lining on the inside that allows easy cleaning and maintenance.

To ensure the product quality of molded rubber boots, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made it mandatory for manufacturers to undergo BIS registration and obtain the BIS ISI mark before selling it in the market. Manufacturers can use the ISI Mark on their products only after obtaining a license from BIS that is granted after BIS registration. The presence of the ISI mark on a product indicates that it complies with BIS's stringent quality standards.
