Steel Blue Southern Cross vs Hobart | Which Boot Suits Your Job?

Steel Blue is one of the most trusted names in safety footwear, and the Southern Cross and Hobart are two of the most popular boots in the range, but they take very different approaches to getting the boot on and off. Both are S3 rated and built with Steel Blue's Trisole Comfort Technology, so the real difference comes down to entry style and fit.

Zip Entry

A side zip with scuff cap toe protection gives a secure, adjustable fit that holds firm through a full shift.

Durable Build

Water-resistant leather and a rugged outsole built for demanding site conditions, available in Sand colour.
