Q: What type of toe cap do I need?

We have two main toe cap options –steel and composite. We also do a non-safety plastic toecap, which does not provide safety benefits. All of our non-safety options can be found here.

Q: Is a steel toe cap stronger than a composite toe cap?

Both are very similar in strength, the steel and composite caps used by Steel Blue pass the Australian, European and American safety standards.

Steel caps provide more cut resistance, but stay deformed more than composite caps after impact or compression.

Q: Are my shoes anti-static?

Our anti-static bootsare denoted on the license label by any of the following symbols ‘A’, ‘O1, ‘O2’, ‘O3’, ‘S1’, ‘S2’ or ‘S3’. The electrical resistance of footwear should be tested at the beginning of each shift as the resistance can deteriorate with sole wear and moisture.

Q: What is the difference between anti-static and electrical hazard boots?

The type of boot you need depends on the work you do. The information here helps you make the safest choice.

Q: What safety standards do Steel Blue boots adhere too?

All Steel Blue boots with a safety toe cap are independently certified to three major international safety standards:

? Australian/NZ Standard AS/NZS 2210.3
? American Standard ASTM F2413
? European Standard EN ISO20345

All Steel Blue boots with out a safety toe cap are independently certified to two major international safety standards:

? Australian/NZ Standard AS/NZS 2210.5

Q: What soles are better for welders?

A nitrile outsole is better for wedlers as the nitrile outsole will guard against short term (60 second) hot contact with welders slag.

Q: What is your lightest boot?

Composite styles such as the Canberra and Torquay are approximately 20% lighter than our steel cap options the Argyle and Argyle Zip.

Q: Do you still manufacture in Australia?

We are a WA born and bred brand. Our products are produced both in Australia and our dedicated factory in Indonesia.

Q: Will a Black boot be hotter to wear than a Wheat one?

There is no difference in the colours due to the Baltico® lining used in our boots. The Baltico® lining is designed to wick perspiration away from the foot which in turn causes the foot to stay cool and dry.
