“Our innovative thinking has improved the industry standards for work boots. As with our steel cap boots, the composite range prevents injuries from falling objects at a drop force of 200J and are best suited to sites where there’s a risk of toe damages from falling or rolling objects,” says Dwayne Sewell, Head of Manufacturing.
The composite toe cap adds more choice to the extensive range of men’s work boots from Steel Blue boots.
