Steel Blue Southern Cross Zip TPU Boots

The Steel Blue Southern Cross Zip TPU Boots epitomize the brand's commitment to top-tier safety, comfort, and environmental responsibility. These boots, adhering to the stringent Australian/NZ standards (AS/NZS 2210 3), feature a premium toe cap made from hardened steel for superior toe protection. The TPU outsole, known for its durability and heat resistance up to 130°C, ensures the boots can withstand diverse work conditions.

Safety is a paramount focus, evident in the boots' exceeding of slip resistance requirements and securing an SRC rating through meticulous laboratory testing on various surfaces. Anti-static properties prevent the accumulation of static electricity, contributing to a safer work environment. The water-resistant treatment during manufacturing adds an extra layer of protection, repelling water from the surface and keeping the feet dry.

The inclusion of a scuff cap, an abrasion-resistant toe cover, enhances the boots' longevity and ruggedness. The combination of Full Grain Leather and Nubuck Leather, ethically and environmentally sourced from Leather Working Group (LWG) members, showcases a thoughtful approach to material selection. The Baltico® Lining, recognized for its softness and hydrophobic properties, ensures effective perspiration wicking for enhanced comfort.

The Ortho Rebound® Footbed, Poron® pads, and Trisole® Comfort Technology underscore Steel Blue's dedication to reducing foot fatigue and providing comprehensive support. The boots offer both lace-up and zip-sided features, providing a versatile fit while prioritizing convenience. Furthermore, the Fresche QuatLock™ emphasizes Steel Blue's commitment to long-term antibacterial and antimicrobial protection, promoting the boots' freshness and hygiene over an extended lifespan.

Toe Protection:  Made from hardened steel for premium toe protection. 

TPU Outsole: Our standard durable outsole with heat resistance to 130°C.

Slip & Oil Resistance: All Steel Blue footwear is designed to exceed the Slip resistance requirement in both the AS 2210.3 and EN ISO 20345. Our boots are rated as SRC which means that the footwear has been tested in laboratory conditions on both a ceramic tile floor with a Sodium Laureth Sulfate solution (SLS) and on a steel floor with Glycerine.

Anti-Static: Prevents the build-up of static electricity within your body by dissipating it through the sole.

Water Resistant: A treatment during the manufacturing process provides water resistance so that water is repelled from the surface.

Scuff Cap: An abrasion resistant, streamlined toe cover that covers more of the boot.

Full Grain Leather & Nubuck Leather:  Each Leather is specifically chosen to ensure the style of boot is fit for purpose and is ethically and environmentally sourced from members of the Leather Working Group (LWG).

Baltico® Lining: A soft, non-abrasive, hydrophobic material that wicks perspiration away from the foot, enabling the skin to remain cool and dry.

Ortho Rebound® Footbed: Our patented Ortho Rebound® Footbed is uniquely designed to reduce foot fatigue. Made from high quality Polyurethane, it always retains its shape and thickness to ensure support from heel to toe, is antifungal, and the high wicking material keeps your feet cool and dry. 

Poron: Strategically placed high-tech Poron® pads are placed in the sole and under your foot’s peak stress areas. We included Poron® in our Trisole® Comfort Technology, which is now the benchmark for safety boots.

​Zip Sided: Lace Up for comfort, then use the side zips for quick access.

Lace Up: A classic fastening for snug, well-fitting work boots.

Fresche QuatLock™: A renewable resource that offers long-term antibacterial and antimicrobial protection against fungus, bacteria and the odours caused by bacteria.

Boot Weight: Experience the lightweight design of each boot, weighing only 574 grams, resulting in a combined weight of 1148 grams. 

Begin with Brushing: Remove surface dirt with a soft high-quality shoe brush, including the soles, to maintain and prolong the condition of your work boots.

Fabric Maintenance 101: Identify the shoe's fabric and choose a suitable conditioner (e.g., leather care for leather boots) to strengthen and condition them, ensuring their longevity.

Your Boots have Sole: Clean the soles of your work boots to eliminate dirt and chemicals that can harm the shoes, using a brush when necessary.

Spray for Success: Preserve your work boots by applying a protective spray that maintains their structure, repels water, and keeps them comfortable. Safeguard your shoes for enhanced protection.
