Bison XT Ankle Lace Up Zip Sided – Wheat

Bison XT Ankle Lace Up Zip Sided – Wheat

The Bison XT Ankle Lace Up Zip Sided Boot in Wheat is designed for workers who demand superior comfort, safety, and performance on the job. Engineered with the latest in footwear technology, this boot combines durability, ergonomic design, and advanced safety features, making it a trusted choice across construction, trades, mining, manufacturing, agriculture, and civil infrastructure industries.

One of the key features of the Bison XT is its wide fit sole sizing, which reduces trip hazards and eliminates rub zones. This wide profile not only enhances safety but also maximises surface area grip, providing stability on uneven or slippery surfaces. The boot’s Bison Grip nitrile rubber outsole compound is paired with a multidirectional tread design, delivering exceptional traction on all surfaces, from wet concrete to loose gravel or oily workshop floors.

The boot incorporates an Antipenetration IMFLEX insole, which uses thermoforming technology to provide extra comfort in the heel strike area while allowing up to 20% more flex across the forefoot. This insole complies with ISO 20345:2004 international safety standards, ensuring both flexibility and protection. Coupled with a lighter weight EVA midsole, this boot offers improved impact absorption and enhanced flexibility, reducing wearer fatigue over long shifts.

For superior heel and lower leg support, the Bison XT features a unique four-layer heel support system that enhances stability and prevents ankle roll, which is a common cause of workplace injuries. The boot is made from proven high-durability materials that are resistant to abrasion, heat, chemicals, organic fats, oils, and acids, ensuring longevity and reliability in harsh work environments.

The ergonomic rocker bottom sole aids forward motion, reduces fatigue, and mitigates the risk of toe trips and heel strike slips. This is particularly useful for workers who spend long hours on their feet or are required to move quickly across challenging terrain. The nitrile rubber outsole also provides extreme protection, being resistant to temperatures up to 300°C, making it suitable for environments with heat exposure.

Comfort has been carefully engineered into the Bison XT. The Self Dispersing Venting System (SDVS) footbed base, combined with a breathable lining, improves heat dispersion and reduces moisture, keeping feet cool and dry throughout the day. The moulded footbed compound includes athletic arch support, providing compression-resistant cushioning and improved support for long-term comfort. In addition, Thermo Performance support foam moulds to the wearer’s heel, delivering a personalised fit for all-day support.

For protection, the Bison XT is equipped with a steel toe cap, providing 200J impact protection. This ensures the wearer is protected against falling objects, heavy loads, and other workplace hazards.
