Dealer boots not for you? Time to go for Side Zip Boots.
Zip sided boots by Steel Blue are our best selling boot and have been well received by farmers and those that work in agriculture due to their generous width around the steel toe. Available in a high cut, and lower 'hiker cut' version, Steel Blue's reputation for quality seems to have been heard - even over the sound of the sheep bleating.
Offering a 30-day comfort guarantee and a 6 month manufacturer warranty, trying our Steel Blue boots is entirely risk free. S3 rated for safety, and featuring that handy industrial zip side, Steel Blue boots have been reviewed as the most comfortable mens work boots on the market.
