Oliver 34652 Black Lace Up Derby Shoe

Oliver 34652 Black Lace Up Derby Shoe

The Oliver 34652 Black Lace Up Derby Shoe is a smart, lightweight and protective safety shoe designed for workers who need dependable footwear without the bulky feel of a traditional work boot. Part of Oliver’s WB34 Series, this shoe brings together workplace safety, everyday comfort and a clean black derby-style design, making it a practical choice for Australian workers across warehousing, transport, logistics, hospitality, maintenance, light industrial, retail, facilities and general trade environments.

Designed with a professional black finish, the Oliver 34652 offers a neat and versatile look that suits both front-of-house and back-of-house work settings. It is ideal for workers who need safety footwear that still looks tidy and presentable, especially in roles where appearance matters but protection is still required. The lace-up derby style provides a secure and adjustable fit, helping keep the foot supported throughout the workday.

Made from water resistant leather, this shoe is built to handle wet and damp working conditions while maintaining all-day comfort. The leather upper helps protect the foot from light moisture and everyday workplace exposure, making it suitable for workers who move between indoor and outdoor areas or spend time on damp floors. It is a reliable option for everyday wear where durability, comfort and protection are all important.

The WB34 Series is known for its lightweight feel, and the Oliver 34652 Black Lace Up Derby Shoe is designed to support workers who spend long hours on their feet. Whether you are walking across concrete floors, standing at a workstation, moving stock, handling deliveries or working in busy service environments, this shoe is made to reduce fatigue and improve comfort during long shifts.

A key comfort feature is the COMFORTcushion® Impact Absorption System, which provides superior cushioning and shock absorption. This system uses a combination of cellular urethane and PORON® shock absorbing technology to help reduce impact underfoot. It helps minimise foot, leg and back fatigue, making the shoe suitable for workers who are constantly moving or standing on hard surfaces.

The shoe also features a shock absorbing polyurethane midsole, adding extra comfort and support without making the shoe feel heavy. This gives the Oliver 34652 a more flexible and comfortable feel compared to many traditional safety shoes, while still delivering the protection needed for daily work.

Inside the shoe, the full lining is infused with eco-friendly Odorban® Control Technology, helping absorb odour for optimum freshness and hygiene. This antimicrobial technology helps protect against odour, staining and deterioration caused by bacteria, fungus and other micro-organisms. For workers wearing safety footwear all day, this helps keep feet fresher and more comfortable, especially during warm conditions or physically active shifts.

For toe protection, the Oliver 34652 Black Lace Up Derby Shoe includes a NATUREform® Type 1 Toe Cap with a wider profile for greater comfort. The wide-profile design is made to suit the natural shape of the foot, helping reduce tightness and pressure around the toes. It includes a latex cushion liner for added comfort and helps prevent toes from coming into direct contact with the cap. The toe cap is tested to withstand a force of 200 joules in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2210.3.

The shoe also includes a Steel Safety Toe Cap, giving reliable protection against drop and crush injuries. This makes it suitable for work environments where tools, stock, cartons, equipment or other materials may pose a risk to the feet. Even though the shoe has a lightweight and professional appearance, it still provides essential safety protection for everyday workplace hazards.

The outsole is built for grip and durability. The GRIPthane® tread pattern provides greater traction across a range of work surfaces, helping improve stability during movement. The Slip Resistant Sole offers excellent slip resistance and exceeds European Standard EN344 and SATRA slip test method PM144. This helps reduce the risk of slips on smooth, wet or lightly oily floors, making the shoe suitable for busy workplace environments.

The sole is also heat resistant up to 130°C, making it suitable for general-purpose working environments. It offers excellent cut resistance, helping prevent small cuts from expanding during normal walking and sole flexing. The Abrasion Resistant Sole is designed to withstand regular wear, helping extend the life of the shoe even with daily use.

For added safety, the  Oliver 34652 Black Lace Up Derby Shoe includes Electrical Hazard protection, helping reduce the danger of accidental contact with live electrical circuits in accordance with ASTM F2413-1. The sole is resistant to organic oils and fats, making it suitable for commercial kitchen, food service and hospitality environments. It is also resistant to most mineral oils, acids and alkaline substances, making it a practical option for general industrial working conditions.

Another important feature is HYDROstop Technology, which helps protect the sole against deterioration caused by hydrolysis and bacterial attack. Soles with this feature carry a 3-year guarantee against hydrolysis, giving workers added confidence in the long-term durability of the footwear.

Overall, the Oliver 34652 Black Lace Up Derby Shoe is a comfortable, lightweight and protective safety shoe made for Australian workers who need practical protection with a clean professional look. With water resistant leather, Odorban® freshness technology, COMFORTcushion® support, steel toe protection, slip resistance and a durable GRIPthane® outsole, it is a reliable choice for long days on the job.
