🚫 Common mistake: Wearing low-cut composite boots on high-risk sites. That’s like bringing a wheelbarrow to a crane job.
You can grab these boots online through Workboot Warehouse, or if you’re the “try before you buy” type, head to a trusted local like Brookvale Workwear.

Still not sure? Visit your nearest stockist and try a few on. Your feet will know the answer.
Q1. Are these boots compliant with 2025 safety standards?
Yes. All Steel Blue work boots listed meet or exceed the current Australian and New Zealand safety standards (AS/NZS 2210.3). Whether you’re after steel toe or composite, every model is built for serious protection.
Q2. What’s the most lightweight Steel Blue boot?
That’d be the Parkes Zip. It features a lightweight composite toe and a low-cut design, making it the go-to choice for sparkies, chippies, and tradies who are constantly on the move.
Q3. Do all Steel Blue boots come with a warranty?
They sure do. Every Steel Blue boot is backed by a 6-month manufacturer warranty—covering defects in material or workmanship. Just keep your proof of purchase handy and make sure you buy from an authorised retailer.
Q4. Can I get these in women’s sizes?
Yep. Many Steel Blue boots are available in women’s-specific fits and sizes. Look out for “Ladies Fit” options when browsing or ask your stockist if they can order them in for you.
