Features of the Southern Cross Zip

Our Southern Cross Zip is an S3 safety boot made from premium leather and features:

  • Quick zip release with Velcro tab to stop zip rattle
  • 200J Steel Toe Cap for ultimate safety
  • Scuff Cap provides longer lasting protection of the premium leather
  • Durable and Slip Resistant TPU Outsole with 130°C heat resistance
  • Trisole® Comfort Technology cushions from day-to-day fatigue

The Slate boot incorporates all the technology and fit from current Southern Cross Zip design in a fashionable new colour that appeals to all trades.

Based on feedback we found young, fashion-conscious tradies prefer trendy, neutral tone colours in their work boots to compliment their work apparel; a growing trend from leading workwear brands. The new offering includes key stylistic features to make a fresh work boot for tradespeople.

The new Slate boot expands our selection of safety boots giving even more options to tradies so they can be both fashionable as well as safe and comfortable.”

"We want both our brand and our products to be inclusive, appealing to the broad swath of people who choose to work in trades."

“As a company we are constantly reviewing our range to introduce more features, colours and styles suited to both male and female tradies. We are delighted to expand our selection even further and give Steel Blue customers more choice.”
