Southern Cross® GraphTEC™ with Graphene Scuff Cap & Outsole
Our 100% comfortable work boots are exclusively available from our network of authorised Steel Blue distributors
The Southern Cross® GraphTEC™ is a world first PureGRAPH® Graphene enhanced work boot. Graphene is one of the strongest impermeable semi-metals discovered to date. PureGRAPH® Graphene has been independently tested, with results showing an increase of over 200% in abrasion resistance. Steel Blue’s GraphTEC™ range is designed, developed and made in Australia.
The Southern Cross® GraphTEC™ is a Men’s 150mm ankle height lace-up boot that includes a GraphTEC™ enhanced Scuff Cap and Outsole. The addition of Graphene in the durable TPU Outsole and Scuff Cap provides world leading durability, abrasion resistance and strength. Tests show that Graphene is one million times thinner than a piece of paper, superior in strength to diamonds and 200 times stronger than steel.
Made from premium Water Resistant Leather, the Southern Cross® GraphTEC™ is a popular 100% comfortable choice for Construction, Mining and Civil Engineering. This safety boot also features a TPU Outsole that is heat resistant to 130°C and includes Anti-Static properties, a 200 joule safety Steel Toe Cap for ultimate toe protection and he padded collar and tongue offer all day comfort.
All Steel Blue boots feature Trisole® Comfort Technology which cushions your feet, knees, hips and lower back from day-to-day fatigue. We stand behind the comfort and quality of our work boots with our 30-Day 100% Comfort Guarantee.
The Southern Cross® GraphTEC™ is made from premium leather that has been ethically and environmentally sourced and is available in Black Full Grain or Wheat coloured Nubuck Leather.
Boot Technology

Steel Blue’s GraphTEC™ range of work boots include a Scuff Cap and TPU Outsole that are enhanced with PureGRAPH® Graphene to provide world leading durability and resistance.
Leather
Boots made from high quality, long-lasting leather, including Nubuck, Full-Grain, TECtuff®, Suede and more.
Steel Toe Cap

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.
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.
The Materials
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.
