Scuff Cap protected version of popular ladies work boot

Australian footwear manufacturer Steel Blue has released scuff-resistant version of its popular ladies work boot.

Tradespeople asked and Steel Blue has listened. The Australian work boot manufacturer has released a scuff-resistant version of its most popular ladies work boot, the Southern Cross Zip Ladies Fit.

The ladies fit product line has now been extended to include a version of the boot featuring Steel Blue’s Scuff Cap, which is a durable, low-profile toe cap made from Thermoplastic Urethane (TPU).

The Scuff Cap, which has previously been added to Steel Blue’s mens’ Parkes and Southern Cross work boot ranges, provides longer-lasting protection of the boot without adding any weight. The Scuff Cap makes the boot highly resistant to abrasion and toe area damage because it covers more of the upper surface of the boot, while providing more low-profile protection than a Bump Cap. A Scuff Cap boot is ideal for anyone who is doing a lot of kneeling during their work and often damages or wears through the leather toes of their work boots.

Steel Blue said: “We know through our sales teams and our distributors that our customers love the Scuff Cap on our other work boots. The Southern Cross in particular, is a very popular ladies work boot in the clean toe version and the feedback we were getting was that customers wanted one with the Scuff Cap. So, we created it. It’s a fabulous work boot and we believe it is going to be very popular.”

The Southern Cross Sand, a zip-sided, steelcapped work boot, has been one of Steel Blue’s top selling products . It is a top choice for the agricultural industries, landscapers, and general trades. The Scuff Cap protected Southern Cross Ladies is available in sand nubuck leather.

Steel Blue is continuing to innovate around the technology and designs of its men’s and women’s work boot ranges and more new product lines will continue to be added to the Steel Blue range throughout 2025.

“Our customers are skilled tradespeople who choose the premium quality and excellence in design of Steel Blue boots because they understand the importance of investing in the right tools to do the job. They’re often on their feet all day. They need a comfortable foundation so they can continue to perform at their best, day in, day out. By listening to our customers and responding to their needs, Steel Blue is helping them be the best at what they do.”

All Steel Blue work boots are backed by a 30-day 100% Comfort Guarantee. They are the only work boots endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association.
