Bison XT Ankle Lace Up Zip Sided – Black

Bison XT Ankle Lace Up Zip Sided – Black

The Bison XT Ankle Lace Up Zip Sided Boot in Black is a premium safety boot designed for Australian workplaces where performance, comfort, and protection are paramount. Engineered for workers who spend long hours on their feet in demanding conditions, the Bison XT combines innovative ergonomics, advanced safety features, and durable materials to deliver a boot that stands up to the toughest challenges.

One of the key features of the Bison XT is its wide fit sole sizing, which helps minimise trip hazards, eliminates pressure rub zones, and maximises surface area grip. This ensures enhanced stability and traction across a variety of surfaces, from slippery factory floors to uneven outdoor terrain. The boot’s Bison Grip nitrile rubber outsole with multidirectional tread design delivers maximum grip and excellent slip resistance, giving you confidence in every step.

Inside the boot, the Antipenetration IMFLEX insole uses thermoforming technology to provide additional comfort at the heel strike while allowing up to 20% more flex across the forepart of the foot. Compliant with ISO 20345:2004 International Safety Standards, this insole combines flexibility with high-level protection. Alongside a lightweight EVA midsole, it delivers superior impact absorption, reducing fatigue and keeping feet comfortable during long shifts.

The Bison XT is designed for maximum stability and support. A unique four-layer heel support system enhances heel and lower leg stability to help prevent ankle roll. Its construction uses durable, high-performance materials that resist abrasion, heat, chemicals, and exposure to oils, fats, and acids, ensuring longevity and resilience in demanding work environments.

The boot also features an ergonomic rocker bottom sole, which assists forward motion, reduces wearer fatigue, and lowers the risk of toe trips and heel-strike slips. The nitrile rubber outsole offers extreme protection up to 300°C, making it suitable for environments where heat resistance is critical.

Comfort is a top priority in the Bison XT. The Self Dispersing Venting System (SDVS) footbed base, combined with a breathable lining, enhances heat dispersion and reduces moisture, keeping your feet cool and dry. The moulded footbed compound with athletic arch support provides compression-resistant cushioning and improved support. Meanwhile, the Thermo Performance support foam moulds to the wearer’s heel for personalised, custom-fit comfort.

Safety is uncompromised with a steel toe cap that offers 200J impact protection, safeguarding the wearer from heavy loads and workplace hazards.
