Your feet handle every long shift, hard floor and heavy lift. Our safety boots for men and women combine certified toe protection, slip-resistant outsoles and proper cushioning, so you are protected on site and comfortable at the end of the shift.
Choose from 86 boots and work shoes by KingGee, Hard Yakka, JB's Wear and Oliver, from $30.99 to $250.99. Every product page lists the toe cap type, sole construction and the standard the boot is certified to, so you can match the boot to your site requirements before you order.
How to choose the right safety boot
- Toe protection: steel caps (KingGee K-Guard, Hard Yakka 3056, JB's Steeler and Parallel) are the traditional choice. Composite caps (KingGee K-Shield on the Onyx 6CX and 6CZ, JB's Roadtrain and Perimeter) are metal-free and lighter. Both are tested for impact and compression.
- Puncture resistance: on sites with nails, offcuts or rebar, choose a boot with a puncture-resistant midsole: the KingGee Onyx 6Z and Metguard boots (steel plate) or the JB's Roadtrain 9J3 (non-metal anti-perforation plate).
- Zip-sided vs lace-up: zip-sides (Hard Yakka 3056, JB's Roadtrain, KingGee Phoenix, Oliver AT55 332Z) go on and off in seconds. Lace-ups (JB's Steeler, KingGee Bennu Pro) give a locked-in fit.
- All-day comfort: the Oliver AT55 332Z is Oliver's lightest 55 series work boot, and the KingGee Quantum is engineered to fight fatigue with every step.
- Wet or hygiene-critical work: JB's Food Grade Gumboots start at $30.99, for kitchens and food processing.
- Electrical hazard: the KingGee Phoenix 6CZ and Phoenix 6C EH MET are the EH-rated options.
Safety boot standards and markings explained
In Australia, safety footwear is certified to AS/NZS 2210.3, the safety footwear standard that most sites, employers and WHS inductions refer to. Footwear that meets it has a toe cap tested for 200 J impact and 15 kN compression. Newer listings quote the 2019 edition (AS 2210.3:2019) and older ones the 2009 edition, so check the certification printed on the boot and on the product page against your site requirements.
| Marking or standard | What it means | Where you will see it |
|---|---|---|
| AS/NZS 2210.3 (safety footwear) | Certified toe protection (200 J impact, 15 kN compression), plus requirements for the upper, sole and construction. | JB's Parallel 9H5, Roadtrain 9J3 and Quantum Sole 9H2, and the JB's Food Grade Safety Gumboot 9G1 |
| 200 J toe cap | The cap withstands a 200 joule impact. Steel and composite caps are both tested to this level. | JB's Roadtrain 9J2, 9J3 and Perimeter Safety Runner 9J4 (composite); JB's Parallel 9H5 (steel) |
| SRC slip resistance | The sole passed both the ceramic tile with detergent test (SRA) and the steel with glycerol test (SRB). The best rating for wet and oily floors. | JB's Parallel 9H5, Roadtrain range; KingGee Onyx and Bennu Pro outsoles; Hard Yakka Icon Y60190 |
| HRO heat-resistant outsole | The outsole resists contact heat up to 300°C, for hot surfaces on mining, heavy industry and bitumen work. | KingGee Onyx 6CX and Bennu Pro; KingGee Phoenix 6CZ; JB's Roadtrain 9J3 |
| Electrical hazard (EH, ASTM F2413) | The sole resists an 18,000 volt, 60 Hz test for one minute. EH boots give secondary protection against accidental contact with live circuits. They do not replace safe isolation procedures. | KingGee Phoenix 6C EH MET K27872 (ASTM F2413-11) and Phoenix 6CZ EH K27980 |
| Puncture resistance | A plate in the midsole stops nails and sharp offcuts coming through the sole. Steel plates are the traditional option; non-metal plates are lighter and metal-detector friendly. | KingGee Onyx 6Z, Onyx Metguard K27996 and K27997; JB's Roadtrain 9J3 and Quantum Sole 9H2 (non-metallic plate); JB's Food Grade Safety Gumboot 9G1 (steel mid-sole) |
| Metatarsal guard | Poron XRD impact padding over the top of the foot, for heavy lifting and falling object risk above the toe cap. | KingGee Onyx Metguard K27996 and K27997; KingGee Phoenix Metguard K27872 |
| Anti-static, oil and fuel resistant sole | The sole limits static build-up and resists oil and fuel, for workshops, warehouses and fuel handling. | JB's Parallel, Roadtrain, Quantum Sole and Food Grade ranges |
| AS/NZS 2210.5 (occupational footwear) | Occupational footwear for wet and hygiene work. It is not safety footwear and has no toe cap rating. | JB's Food Grade Gumboot 9G2 |
Steel toe cap vs composite toe cap
| Steel toe cap | Composite toe cap | |
|---|---|---|
| Impact and compression | Certified to AS/NZS 2210.3 | Certified to AS/NZS 2210.3 |
| Weight | Heavier | Lighter, less fatigue over a long shift |
| Metal detectors | Will trigger them | Metal-free, airport and FIFO friendly |
| Heat and cold | Conducts temperature | Does not conduct heat or cold as readily |
| Best for | Construction, workshops, general industry and budget buys | FIFO, mining, electrical trades, warehouses, long days on your feet |
| Examples | KingGee Onyx 6Z, Bennu Pro, Hard Yakka 3056, JB's Steeler and Parallel | KingGee Onyx 6CX and Phoenix, JB's Roadtrain and Perimeter |

| Kitchens and food processing | JB's Food Grade Safety Gumboot 9G1 ($38.99) | Steel toe cap and steel mid-sole, anti-static, slip, oil and fuel resistant outsole, certified to AS/NZS 2210.3:2009 |
Fit and care
Fit boots in the socks you wear on the job, and check there is room to move your toes under the cap. Zip-sided boots suit people who take them on and off through the day, and lace-ups give the most adjustable fit. Boots with a hybrid or EVA midsole, like the KingGee Quantum and N-Force Hybrid, trade some rigidity for comfort. After a heavy impact or a puncture, replace the boot even if it looks fine, because the cap or plate may be compromised. A men's boot in a smaller size is not a women's boot. See our dedicated women's safety boots, built for a woman's foot. Pair your boots with work socks and workwear shorts and your uniforms are sorted.
Frequently asked questions
Steel cap or composite toe?
Both are certified for impact and compression. Steel is the proven classic. Composite is lighter, metal-free and does not conduct heat or cold as readily. Pick based on weight, temperature and site rules.
What does AS/NZS 2210.3 mean?
It is the Australian and New Zealand standard for safety footwear. It sets requirements for toe protection (200 J impact and 15 kN compression) and for the sole and construction of the boot. Some listings quote the 2009 edition and newer ones the 2019 edition.
What does SRC mean on a boot?
SRC means the sole passed both the ceramic tile and steel slip tests, which gives the best slip resistance rating on wet and oily surfaces.
Which boots can I wear through metal detectors?
Choose a metal-free composite toe boot with no steel plate. The KingGee Phoenix Metguard K27872 has all metal removed and is made for FIFO work.
Are all products in this collection safety-rated?
No. The collection also includes some non-safety footwear, such as soft toe boots, the KingGee N-Force Low, and the JB's Food Grade Gumboot 9G2 (certified to AS/NZS 2210.5 occupational footwear). Check the toe cap and certification on each product page.
Which standard does my site require?
Your employer or site induction sets this. Many sites specify footwear certified to AS/NZS 2210.3. Ask your supervisor if you are unsure, then match the label on the boot to it.
What are puncture-resistant boots?
They have a midsole plate that stops nails and sharp objects coming through the sole, common on building and demolition sites.
Do you stock women's safety boots?
Yes, 19 styles in our women's safety boots range.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes, with flat-rate nationwide shipping.
