Steel Blue

I’ve tried heaps of different boots these are definitely the best. Completely comfortable from the word go no issues I had my last pair for years old and into the ground. Great to have a new fresh pair !!! Show details

If you're on the fence, READ THIS REVIEW This is my second set of two pairs of Steel Blue boots. After trying without success, at least a dozen other brands, some cheap, some expensive, well-known brands, I finally discovered Steel Blue boots. At first I was hesitant because I had already spent several hundred dollars on boots that didn't fit… Read more

right, hurt, fell apart, were a pain to get on and off, etc. I opted to try Steel Blue anyway because I needed good steel toe, slip-resistant boots for work and my feet were in constant agony. I bought the pink and purple pairs so I could switch them out. As soon as I put my foot inside, I knew they were different! They were roomy, comfortable, and the top of the boot landed at a comfortable place around my ankles with a contour around the back. That allowed me the flexibility to bend my feet and ankles without having stiff leather jamming the back of my leg. The zipper and Velcro tabs on the sides are ingenious, making them 1000% easier to get on and off, and not once did the zippers ever get stuck or break. I've gotten them caked with mud and they still zip with ease. Gone are the days of hooking, lacing, tightening and unhooking and loosening my laces. The level of comfort has been second to none. I wear my boots 6-7 days per week, approximately 12-15 hours per day on average. Switching out between the two pairs gave my feet a break, though I finally had no pain wearing boots. The first two pairs lasted a little over two years and had I taken better care of them, would have lasted much longer, I have no doubt. I beat these boots to death and they took it day in and day out in all types of weather. I've gotten them soaked in the rain, crusted with mud, filled with pebbles and dirt, cement, you make it. Not a rip, not a tear, not a crack. There was ZERO hesitation when it came to replacing them, and I did so reluctantly because they had served me well. I knew within a few days and even moreso a year later that I wouldn't ever wear another boot other than Blue Steel. I purchased two fresh pairs in pink and blue about two months ago, and the quality and consistency is on par. I cannot tell you how many times these boots have saved my toes, my feet, and probably my life. I work in construction and the steel toe is roomy and trustworthy. The slip-resistant and puncture-resistant sole has stopped me from sliding off a roof, slipping down wet, oily stairs, and have prevented multiple rusty nails from entering my feet. If you have any doubt about a pair of reliable, quality, comfortable, safe work boots, then look no further than Steel Blue. They are by far the best work boots I have EVER owned. One important suggestion with all steel toe boots is to size up 1/2 to 1 size and even with my regular width feet, found I benefitted from wide width. That little bit of extra room isn't too much; it gives breathing room and enough space to add a pair of insoles without crushing your toes a year later if you wear them as many hours as I do. I would put my name on these boots as quickly as I put my name on my work.

After wearing my Steel Blue boots for over four years, I can confidently say they’re among the best work boots I’ve ever owned. From the first wear to now, they’ve delivered consistent comfort, durability, and support across countless demanding days on-site. Comfort One of the standout features of Steel Blue boots is their comfort. I spend long… Read more

hours on my feet in a variety of environments—concrete, uneven surfaces, ladders—and these boots have always provided excellent cushioning and arch support. The internal padding has held up remarkably well, and I’ve never had issues with blisters or fatigue, even during 10+ hour shifts. The Trisole® comfort technology really makes a difference.

Durability

Over four years of use, including exposure to dirt, mud, rain, and heavy equipment, these boots have proven to be incredibly tough. The leather has softened with age but hasn’t cracked or degraded, and the soles have shown surprisingly little wear given the miles I’ve put on them. Stitching, eyelets, and laces are all still intact, which speaks volumes about their build quality.

Safety & Performance

The steel toe has protected my feet on multiple occasions—whether from dropped tools or heavy objects—and meets all the safety standards required for my job. The slip-resistant sole provides reliable grip, which is especially important when working in wet or oily conditions.

Value for Money

While Steel Blue boots aren’t the cheapest on the market, the long-term value is undeniable. I’ve gone through other brands that barely last a year or two. These have outlasted them all, meaning I’ve actually saved money in the long run by not needing frequent replacements.

Conclusion

If you’re looking for work boots that can handle years of hard work without compromising on comfort or protection, I highly recommend Steel Blue. After four years of daily use, mine are still in great shape and continue to support me every step of the way. Worth every cent.

My steel blues have finally worn out after 6 years of service. They were so comfortable they became my everyday boot from doing general maintenance around houses and gardening to walking the dog and shopping they would be on my feet from dawn to dusk. The heels wore down in the end and I was sad to see them go in the rubbish bin. I am still… Read more

boots perform tremendously in. Hiking, rock climbing, urban exploration, gardening & motorbike riding (both road & dirt), just to name a few. These Steel Blues come out on top every single time - highly recommend!

Fell apart after 5 months of daily wear. NON-TRADE wear just walking around town, moved a couple of houses, walked through the bush 3-4 times. - Multiple Eyelets snapped - Velcro doesnt bite (5months wear) - Zip doesnt stay up I'll be buying Blundstones, no zip/velcro, traditional eyelets Show details

Nothing like they used to be. Note that a lot of the 5 star reviews on this site are due to "incentive" ie: they are fake, and falsely increase the rating. Customer service is dishonest, lazy, apathetic, and appears to have no knowledge, or interest in their own products. They appear to now just be onselling another companies products, but still with high prices.

I bought a pair of purple steel blue boots for everyday wear and after a month the top layer was peeling and scruffy. When I asked about this under warranty they said, it looks like excessive wear. I am a 64 year old woman who wears them everyday. I… Read more

thought they were supposed to be the best. They are very comfortable but if you want to wear them as a good pair of boots, they are not the ones to buy. I’m very disappointed.

Good style of boots (pink southern cross side zip safety boots) and comfy though when I got my second pair the seam on the back heel part had zigzag stitching which now creates a corn on my heel, bring back the no stitching please

Boots are the most comfortable that I have ever worn. Now on my second pair after wearing others out. There may be others just as good however I was happy enough with my first pair that I did not look around. Did use another brand years ago and wish that I had switched earlier. Show details

I have had multiple pairs of Steel Blue boots over the years, and they have always been comfortable and of really high quality. I used to have the Southern Cross (661s) but changed over to the 658s as I love the feel and look of the boot - it's protected my toes more times than I can remember. Highly recommended for all sorts of trades, you won't regret your purchase! Show details
