These Blue Boots are conversation starters and we wanted to make sure those conversations led to a person who might be struggling, knowing how to access help. The packaging of our Blue Boots contains mental health resources so you can support yourself, a workmate, relative or friend.

The reality is, most tradies are men, and we know that every day in Australia approximately seven men die by suicide. We also know that men are far less likely to seek help for mental health conditions than women. Our Blue Boots are helping “tradies boot the blues in the most practical way we know” said Garry Johnson, Steel Blue CEO.

In 2014, Steel Blue partnered with Beyond Blue to support the Beyond Blue Support Service. Steel Blue donates $10 from the sale of every pair of men’s and ladies’ Blue Boots directly to Beyond Blue.

Steel Blue Chief Executive Garry Johnson said while the $300,000 was a massive milestone to be celebrated he was equally proud of the awareness the Blue Boots have created and the conversations they have started between mates in the workplace.

“Steel Blue has now sold over 38,000 pairs of men’s and women’s Blue Boots, providing over 6,250 Aussies with access to 24/7 support through the Beyond Blue Support Service.
