Globe Firefighting

Falcon has been manufacturing Globe's revolutionary new fire boots since 2006 and is honored to be part of the Globe family. Internationally recognized for quality, commitment, and innovation, Globe has been the standard of excellence in fire apparel since 1901.

Over the years, Globe has been responsible for introducing many of the materials, designs, and construction methods we now take for granted in firefighter suits. Globe was the first to use DuPont NOMEX® inherently flame resistant materials, first to use 3M SCOTCHLITE® reflective materials, and first to use expanded PTFE technology including GORE-TEX® and CROSSTECH® moisture barriers. Having participated in the creation of NFPA 1971, Globe was the first to make firesuits exclusively to this industry standard and subsequently the first firesuit manufacturer in North America to be ISO 9001. With nearly 400 employees and over 100,000 square feet of manufacturing and distribution facilities, Globe is the largest and most trusted manufacturer of structural firesuits in the world.

Shown on this page is the 14 inch structural fireboot that has become legendary in the industry for comfort, fit, flexibility, and protection. Falcon manufactures this boot, along with all the other Globe firefighting footwear, at our factory in Auburn, ME.
