Oliver 40825 Black Jogger Ankle Boot (S3 HRO SRC ESD)

Oliver 40825 Black Jogger Ankle Boot (S3 HRO SRC ESD)

The Oliver 40825 Black Jogger Ankle Boot (S3 HRO SRC ESD) is a lightweight, flexible and protective safety boot designed for Australian workers who want the comfort of a jogger with the added support of an ankle boot. Part of Oliver’s ST 40 Series, this boot is made for effortless movement, all-day wear and dependable workplace safety across warehousing, logistics, transport, manufacturing, maintenance, electrical work, light industrial sites and general trade environments.

Inspired by the comfort and style of sports shoes, the Oliver 40825 is built to feel less like a traditional heavy safety boot and more like your favourite pair of runners. Its ergonomic design supports natural foot movement, making it a practical choice for workers who spend long hours walking, standing, lifting, climbing stairs or moving quickly between tasks. The ankle boot design provides extra coverage and support around the ankle while still maintaining a lightweight and flexible feel.

The upper is made with breathable stretched textile, a knitted construction, TPU film and 3D mesh lining. This combination helps improve airflow, flexibility and comfort, keeping the foot cooler and more supported throughout the day. The black jogger-style design gives the boot a clean, modern look while still delivering the protection needed for busy worksites.

The S3 rating makes the Oliver 40825 suitable for more demanding workplace conditions. S3 safety footwear generally provides toe protection, antistatic properties, energy absorption, water resistance and penetration-resistant underfoot protection. This makes the boot a strong option for workers who may be exposed to moisture, sharp ground hazards, uneven surfaces or changing site conditions.

For toe protection, the boot features an Oliver NATUREform® high impact composite safety toe cap. This non-metallic Type 1 toe cap helps protect against drop and crush injuries while keeping the boot lighter than traditional steel toe footwear. It is also airport friendly, making it convenient for workers who travel or pass through security screening. The wide-profile toe cap is designed to suit the natural shape of the foot and includes a latex cushion liner for added comfort, helping prevent toes from coming into direct contact with the cap. It is developed to withstand a force of 200 joules and is tested in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2210.3.

Comfort is a key feature of the Oliver 40825. The COMFORTcushion® Impact Absorption system provides superior cushioning and shock absorption to help reduce foot, leg and back fatigue. This is especially useful for workers who spend long shifts on hard surfaces such as concrete warehouse floors, factory floors, workshops and industrial sites. The flexible EVA midsole adds lightweight cushioning and support, helping the boot feel comfortable and responsive underfoot.

The Oliver Shock Absorber footbed adds another layer of comfort by supporting the heel and ball of the foot. It also offers breathability and antibacterial protection, helping maintain freshness during long and active workdays. This is ideal for workers who need safety footwear that can handle heat, movement and extended wear without feeling overly heavy or restrictive.

The boot also includes HEELguard protection, which provides added stability and impact protection around the heel area. This helps support the foot during movement and gives extra confidence when walking across uneven, slippery or challenging surfaces. The ankle boot style also provides a bit more structure and support compared to low-cut safety shoes.

The outsole is built for demanding work environments. The HRO-rated rubber outsole is heat resistant up to 300°C, making it suitable for harsh and high surface heat working conditions. This gives workers added protection when working around hot ground surfaces or industrial areas where heat resistance is important.

Grip is another major strength of the Oliver 40825. It is designed to meet the SRC slip resistance standard, helping provide strong traction across a variety of workplace surfaces. 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, oily or uneven floors.

The outsole also provides excellent cut resistance, helping prevent small cuts from expanding during normal walking and sole flexing. Its abrasion resistant construction supports long-lasting durability, making the boot suitable for workers who need footwear that can stand up to daily use. The patented wear-off indicators are a practical feature, showing when the boots need replacing to help maintain safe performance on the job.

The sole is resistant to organic oils and fats, making it suitable for workplaces where greasy or oily surfaces may be present. It is also resistant to most mineral oils, acids and alkaline substances, making it a dependable choice for general industrial working conditions.

Another important feature is ESD protection, which helps control electrostatic discharge. This makes the Oliver 40825 suitable for workers handling sensitive electronics, electronic components or equipment that may be affected by static. It also adds safety value in environments where flammable materials may be present.

Overall, the Oliver 40825 Black Jogger Ankle Boot (S3 HRO SRC ESD) is a modern, lightweight and protective safety boot made for Australian workers who need comfort, flexibility and reliable workplace protection. With its breathable jogger-style upper, ankle support, composite safety toe, shock absorbing comfort, 300°C heat resistant outsole, SRC slip resistance and ESD protection, it is a practical choice for active workers who need dependable performance throughout the day.
