Selecting the best fitting work boots

Slate Southern Cross Zip Scuff

Steel Blue leather boots, are made from premium high-quality leather that’s ethically sourced from members of the Leather Working Group (LWG). Boasting a variety of superior properties, leather is renowned worldwide as the leading natural material for footwear. The durable, yet supple leather assists with less break-in time, making our work boots comfortable from day one.

Steel Blue Founding Director/Chief Sales Officer Ross Fitzgerald said “The primary focus when we design boots is safety, and the one of the fundamental requirements is getting the right fit. That is why we have specially designed Ladies Fit boots and half sizes. A poorly fitted boot can lead to discomfort and even injury, so we want to be sure every person can find the exact size they need.” We offer a Women’s work boot range that has been specially developed for the dimensions of female feet to maximise comfort.

Physiotherapist and Australian Physiotherapy Association partner, Ruth Lennon from Life Ready Biosymm Physiotherapy, commented, “Steel Blue work boots are an important piece of personal protective equipment in many industries including mining, construction, warehousing and manufacturing. Comfortable work boots can increase comfort, productivity and reduce foot and lower limb problems.

"It is vital to get a pair of boots that fit correctly. Getting fitted to the appropriate size, whether that is a full or half sizing, allows workers to wear steel caps with a better fit, improving comfort and reducing the risk of foot and lower limb issues."

“In a study on shoe concerns and foot problems of workers wearing steel caps, 47% of workers reported issues with pressure from the steel toe cap. It is vital to get a pair of boots that fit correctly. Getting fitted to the appropriate size, whether that is a full or half sizing, allows workers to wear steel caps with a better fit, improving comfort and reducing the risk of foot and lower limb issues. ”Our half sizes provide extra width without increasing the length of your work boots.
