Southern Cross Zip Ladies Met S3
The Southern Cross Zip Ladies Met S3 is a 150mm Lace Up safety boot with a scalloped, padded collar and tongue, plus quick release side zip and Metatarsal Guard. This work boot has been specifically developed for the female foot.
The internal polyurethane Metatarsal Guard, rated to 100 joules of drop force, offers superior impact protection and reduces the risk of injury from impact to this part of the foot, without compromising on our complete level of 100% Comfort.
The tough TPU Outsole is heat resistant to 130ºC and offers Slip & Oil Resistant properties. It also includes an extra tough Penetration Resistant midsole to prevent sharp objects getting through to your foot.
Steel Blue Ladies safety boots are designed just for women and include a shorter ankle length and smaller instep to fit the female foot anatomy.
Crafted from premium Water Resistant Leather, the Southern Cross Zip Ladies Met includes our Trisole which has been specially designed to cushion your feet, knees, hips and lower back from day-to-day fatigue.
The Materials
Full Grain Leather
Full Grain is a waxy style Leather that is generally considered as the highest quality Leather. Our premium Full Grain Leather 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.
TPU Outsole
Our standard durable outsole with heat resistance to 130°C.
Kevlar® Thread
These boots are stitched with strong, heat resistant Kevlar® aramid fibre thread which is five times stronger than steel (weight for weight), and tolerates heat and sparks better than conventional threads.
Non-Corrosive Eyelets
These eyelets have been constructed to outlast standard eyelets, which can weaken with corrosive materials.
