Oliver 66399 Black Smelter Boot With External Metguard

Oliver 66399 Black Smelter Boot With External Metguard

The Oliver 66399 Black Smelter Boot with External Metguard is a heavy-duty safety boot designed for tough Australian worksites where heat, sparks, impact, abrasion and harsh industrial conditions are part of the job. Built for smelting, foundry work, welding, metal fabrication, mining, construction and heavy industrial environments, this boot provides strong protection for workers who need reliable footwear in high-risk conditions.

Made from quality heat resistant and flame retardant leather, the Oliver 66399 is designed to help protect the foot in hot and demanding work areas. The durable black leather upper provides a tough, professional finish while offering protection against heat exposure and general workplace wear. This makes the boot a practical choice for workers exposed to hot surfaces, sparks, heavy materials, molten splash risks and rough working environments.

One of the key protective features of this boot is the external metatarsal guard, which helps protect the upper foot from impact and crush injuries. Metatarsal protection is especially important in industries where heavy tools, machinery parts, metal pieces or construction materials may fall onto the foot. When combined with the safety toe cap, the external metguard provides more complete forefoot protection, making the Oliver 66399 suitable for high-risk industrial applications.

The boot also includes a quick release Velcro closure, giving workers a secure fit while allowing quick and easy removal when needed. This is especially valuable in smelting and hot work environments where fast boot removal may be important for safety. The Velcro closure also makes the boot easier to adjust, making it a convenient option for workers who need practical safety footwear during long shifts.

For toe protection, the Oliver 66399 features a Steel Safety Toe Cap designed to protect against drop and crush injuries. This Type 1 steel toe cap is developed to withstand a force of 200 joules, providing strong protection in workplaces where heavy objects, equipment and tools are handled regularly. The boot also includes a NATUREform Type 1 Toe Cap, which has a wide-profile design to suit the natural shape of the foot. It includes a latex cushion liner for added comfort, helping prevent toes from coming into direct contact with the cap. The toe cap is tested to 200 joules in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2210.3.

Comfort is also built into the Oliver 66399. The COMFORTcushion® Impact Absorption system provides superior cushioning and shock absorption, helping reduce foot, leg and back fatigue. This is ideal for workers who spend long hours standing, walking or moving across hard industrial surfaces. By reducing impact underfoot, this feature helps support all-day comfort during demanding shifts.

The HEELguard provides added stability and impact protection around the heel area. This helps support the foot when working across rough, uneven or high-impact surfaces. It also adds durability to a high-wear area of the boot, helping improve performance and confidence on site.

The boot is made with Water Resistant Leather to DIN 3, helping provide all-day comfort in wet and damp working conditions. While the boot is designed primarily for heat and industrial protection, the water-resistant leather helps keep feet more comfortable when moisture is present on the job.

To help extend the life of the footwear, the Oliver 66399 includes a Toe Bumper. This feature protects the leather at the toe from scuff damage, which is especially useful in industrial work where the front of the boot is regularly exposed to kneeling, climbing, dragging, scraping or contact with rough surfaces.

The outsole is built for extreme conditions. It is heat resistant up to 300°C, making it suitable for harsh and high surface heat working environments. This is an important feature for smelter work, welding, fabrication and other hot industrial applications where workers may come into contact with heated floors, metal surfaces or high-temperature areas.

The sole also offers excellent cut resistance, helping prevent small cuts from expanding as the sole flexes during walking. This helps maintain the durability of the boot across rugged worksites. The abrasion resistant sole is also designed to withstand general wear, making the boot suitable for demanding industrial conditions.

For grip and stability, the slip resistant sole provides excellent traction and exceeds European Standard EN344 and SATRA slip test method PM144. This helps reduce the risk of slipping on wet, oily, dusty or uneven surfaces, giving workers better footing throughout the day.

The boot also includes Electrical Hazard protection, which helps reduce the danger of accidental contact with live electrical circuits in accordance with ASTM F2413-1. This adds another level of workplace safety for workers operating around electrical equipment or industrial machinery.

The sole is resistant to organic oils and fats, making it suitable for greasy or oily work areas. It is also resistant to most mineral oils, acids and alkaline substances, making it a reliable choice for general industrial environments.

Overall, the Oliver 66399 Black Smelter Boot with External Metguard is a tough, protective and practical safety boot made for serious industrial work. With flame retardant leather, heat resistance, external metatarsal protection, steel toe safety, slip resistance, electrical hazard protection and quick release Velcro closure, it is built to support Australian workers in harsh and high-risk conditions.
