Great tradespeople require the best equipment and boots are no exception. As a tradie your boots are more than just something you wear on your feet, they are a tool of your trade. We’ve been making work boots that fit you and fit your craft since 1995 so you can perform at your best for as long as it takes to finish the job. Steel Blue boots take whole body comfort in mind with the Trisole Comfort Technology. This technology is made up of three sections – our patented Ortho Rebound® Footbed, a midsole and an outsole. We have strategically placed pads made of high-tech PORON® in the sole and under your foot’s peak stress areas to give you unmatched comfort ad bounce for a full day of work. Backed by a 100% comfort guarantee, our boots can now be seen across the world.

Very comfortable to begin with,the zip…
Very comfortable to begin with,the zip on the side is handy but the velcro stopped working on the strap after 2 weeks so just flapped around all the time,then the material where the top cap is started collapsing and became unwearable,I returned them to get a replacement and after one month same thing happened,I wouldn't recommend for concreters or anyone in wet conditions,their built comfortable not tough

I’ve been an electrician for over 14…
I’ve been an electrician for over 14 years, starting as an apprentice at 16, and in that time, I’ve worn a wide range of work boots. Unfortunately, the Blue Steel work boots have not met the standard I expect, especially given their price point. I’ve worn these boots for a few months now, and I’ve rolled my ankle three times, leading to a serious foot injury.
After consulting with a podiatrist, it was confirmed that these boots were the cause of my issues due to their complete lack of ankle support. I’ve since switched to Alt-Berg boots, which cost me £170, and I haven’t had any problems since. This confirmed that the Blue Steel boots were the root of the problem.
While I’m sure these boots might be fine for light use, they are not fit for purpose when working 12-hour shifts in a heavy-duty, professional environment. If you’re in the trades and need something reliable, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. You shouldn’t compromise on foot safety, and these boots simply don’t provide the necessary support.

Bought the boots 6 months ago
Bought the boots 6 months ago. Lovely and comfortable but they are splitting along where the sole meets the cloth part. I have got more wear out of a boot that costs half the price. Very disappointed

Best boots
I got these boots around a month ago...I work in a steel company loading flatbed trailers with all types of steel products. I'm up and down onto trailers, forktrucks, all day and these boots prove to be tough, and more importantly, comfortable. Plus they have the zip up sides which make it easier to get on and off. Thanks a million!

Out of all the Chelsea style boots I've worn,these are the best. There has been nothing but comfort in these from day one.
