Hard Yakka:Y60364 X Mid Low Shoe

When you’re on the go all day—whether you’re picking and packing in a warehouse, loading trucks, covering long distances on the floor, or bouncing between jobs in general trade—you need footwear that can keep pace without weighing you down. The Hard Yakka Y60364 X Mid Low Shoe is built exactly for that rhythm: lightweight, tough, airy, and packed with proper safety features. It’s the kind of shoe that feels more like sporty work gear than traditional safety footwear, and that’s exactly why so many people are gravitating toward this style.

The upper is made from a breathable nylon ripstop, a fabric designed to handle rough days without tearing or wearing out too quickly. Ripstop is known for being both durable and airy, so even in hotter, humid conditions, your feet get proper ventilation while still being protected by a tough outer layer. Hard Yakka even doubled down on the breathable nylon ripstop upper in the design, emphasising airflow and day-long comfort from every angle.

Safety-wise, the shoe features a wide profile composite toe cap, giving you the protection you need on a worksite without the weight and heat of steel. Composite toes are lighter, non-metallic, and don’t conduct heat or cold, making them ideal for workers constantly on the move or transitioning between indoor and outdoor environments. The wider profile also gives your toes more room to spread naturally—great for long days when you need comfort just as much as safety.

The X Mid Low Shoe is impressively lightweight, which you’ll feel immediately when you pick it up—and even more once you start walking. It’s designed to reduce fatigue on long shifts where step counts easily hit the tens of thousands. Whether you’re in warehousing, transport, logistics, or just need a low-cut safety shoe that feels like a runner, this model ticks the boxes.

A standout eco-conscious feature is the use of REPREVE® recycled inner linings. These are made from recycled plastic bottles, giving waste materials a second life while keeping comfort at the forefront. It’s a small detail, but one that reflects Hard Yakka’s push toward more sustainable and thoughtful design choices.

Inside the shoe, the Memory Foam / PU footbed with ERP footbed technology provides a plush, adaptive feel underfoot. Memory foam gives that instant moulded-to-your-foot comfort, while the PU structure ensures long-term support and durability. The ERP (Energy Rebound Pod) technology helps absorb shock and return energy—ideal for workers who are constantly walking, pivoting, lifting, or moving between stations. It’s the kind of comfort tech that genuinely helps you push through long shifts with fewer aches and less fatigue.

The midsole uses CME (Compression EVA) to boost energy rebound with each step. It’s lightweight, cushioned, and supportive—similar to what you’d expect from a good pair of runners. Paired with a durable rubber outsole, this combo gives you great traction and stability across polished concrete, warehouse flooring, truck trays, and general indoor/outdoor work surfaces.

Importantly, the outsole is SRC rated, meaning it’s been tested for maximum slip resistance on both steel and ceramic surfaces. For people working around spills, smooth floors, or fast-paced logistics environments, this is a major win for safety and peace of mind.

The shoe is also anti-static, helping protect electronic equipment and reducing the risk of static build-up when working in environments with sensitive tech or dry flooring conditions.

And of course, as with all serious safety footwear, the Y60364 X Mid Low Shoe is certified to AS 2210.3:2019, ensuring it meets Australian and New Zealand safety standards.

Designed for warehousing, logistics, transport, and general trade, this lightweight hybrid offers everything you need in a modern safety shoe: protection without bulk, comfort without compromise, and durability without sacrificing breathability. If you’re chasing a mid-cut safety shoe that feels fast, comfortable, and tough enough for everyday work, the Hard Yakka X Mid Low Shoe is well worth a look.
