Purpose-built for extreme smelter environments, these 230mm safety boots combine flame-retardant leather with specialised protection against radiant heat, impact and liquid metal exposure. The non-intrusive metatarsal guard protects the vulnerable upper-foot area, while a broad-fitting Type 1 steel safety toe provides 200J impact protection. Ultra-tough toe scuff protection and full Kevlar® stitched seams further reinforce the boot for demanding industrial applications.

Protection is matched with underfoot support for long shifts. Ssoftherm® insulation helps shield against radiant heat, while XRD® Technology provides targeted impact absorption through the forefoot and heel. A shock-absorbing PU midsole and Comfort Arch footbed add cushioning, complemented by a heavy-duty rubber outsole engineered for grip, durability and resistance to temperatures up to 300°C.
