Steel Blue 312658 Parkes Zip

The Steel Blue 312658 Parkes Zip is a men’s 95mm hiker-style ankle boot designed for all-day comfort and maximum protection on the job. Combining modern design with practical safety features, this boot offers the convenience of an industrial-grade side zip so you can easily slip them on and off without the hassle of lacing up every morning. Simply lace them once to your preferred fit, and then use the sturdy YKK zipper for quick access.

Built tough for the Australian worksite, the Parkes Zip features a scuff cap on the toe to extend the life of your boots and keep them looking newer for longer. The scuff cap helps protect against wear and tear, particularly in environments where boots are frequently kneeling or rubbing against rough surfaces. This makes the Parkes Zip a popular choice among warehouse workers, construction teams, tradesmen, and courier drivers who need reliable, durable, and comfortable footwear that can keep up with demanding conditions.

The boot’s TPU outsole is both slip and oil resistant and offers exceptional durability. It’s heat resistant up to 130°C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and outdoor workplaces. This sole unit also provides excellent traction, helping reduce the risk of slips and falls, even on uneven or greasy surfaces.

A 200-joule steel toe cap provides superior impact protection, meeting or exceeding Australian and New Zealand safety standards (AS/NZS 2210.3). Whether you’re working around heavy materials or in a fast-paced warehouse, your feet are well protected against accidental drops or compression.

Crafted from premium, water-resistant cowhide nubuck leather, the Parkes Zip not only resists water penetration but also remains soft and flexible for improved comfort. The upper is double-stitched with durable nylon thread and features non-corrosive lace hardware to prevent rusting in wet or humid conditions, ensuring your boots last longer and look great even with regular use.

Inside, the boot is lined with Baltico®, a soft, non-abrasive, and hydrophobic material that draws perspiration away from the skin. This moisture-wicking lining keeps your feet cool and dry throughout long shifts, helping to reduce irritation and maintain comfort in both hot and humid environments.

The padded collar and tongue provide additional ankle support and cushioning, reducing fatigue and improving overall fit. Combined with Steel Blue’s renowned triple-density comfort technology, these boots are engineered to deliver maximum comfort from the first wear. The lightweight design and shock-absorbing sole help to reduce strain on your feet, knees, and lower back, making them ideal for long hours on the job.

As with all Steel Blue boots, the Parkes Zip is built to meet the brand’s 100% Comfort Guarantee—a commitment to premium craftsmanship, ergonomic design, and long-lasting wear. Every pair undergoes rigorous testing to ensure they deliver on safety, comfort, and durability, making them a trusted favourite across Australia’s toughest industries.
