The Argyle®: A boot built for Tradespeople
The journey of the Steel Blue Argyle® began with one clear purpose, to create a comfortable work boot that meets the demands of the trade.
How the Argyle® became a tradie favourite
The Argyle® is more than just a work boot, it’s a symbol of reliability, safety and comfort. Its iconic design was set out to withstand heavy duty environments and has become popular amongst FIFO Workers, Plumbers, Electricians, Carpenters, Welders and more.
Quality and Craftsmanship: The making of the Argyle®
The Argyle® is a staple on every tradie’s foot, keeping them comfortable and protected from the moment they put them on, till the moment they take them off.
All Argyle® work boots are designed with premium water-resistant full-grain or nubuck leather and available in men’s and women’s styles. These 150mm-high work boots feature a padded collar and tongue, non-corrosive lacing, and built on Steel Blue’s legendary Trisole® Comfort Technology for 100% Comfort Guaranteed.
Evolution of the Argyle®
The success of the Argyle® has driven continuous enhancements, features and innovation to suit trades across various industries.
Today, there are 27 variations to suit diverse needs, including:
- A scuff cap or bump cap for greater protection to the leather around the toe area of the boot.
- A 300°C heat resistant Nitrile outsole or 130°C heat resistant TPU outsole each with oil and slip resistance to keep you safe on site.
- Option for a soft toe (non-safety) work boot for jobs that doesn’t require additional protection, or a steel toe or composite toe cap with a drop force resistance of 200J.
- Anti-Static or Electrical Hazard protection outsoles.
- Chemical resistant leather offering secondary protection against accidental exposure and splashes from mild chemicals.
- Steel Blue’s Met-Guard, specially designed to protect the metatarsal area of the foot that extends from the toes.
- Penetration resistant midsoles, for added safety to help reduce the risk of sharp objects puncturing your work boots.
Tested and tried by local tradies
Brad, who now runs his own construction company, has relied on Steel Blue boots since his apprentice days. “They were super comfy, and I’ve been wearing them ever since,” he says.
Brad’s go-to work boots are the Argyle® Zip Scuff in Wheat, which feature a built-in scuff cap for extra durability, an industrial grade side zip for easy on-and-off wear, and a 150mm height for greater ankle support.
Working in construction Brad is constantly on the move mentioning, “You don’t want to be tearing around in something that’s loose-fitting or uncomfortable. I’ve seen so many people roll ankles on a job site and I just think, it’s not worth it. I’m all for comfort and support.”
