A GUIDE TO OUR FOOTWEAR ICONS



AIRPORT FRIENDLY

No need to take off your boots every time you travel. The entire boot is non-metallic, including the toe caps, which can be x-rayed, will not rust and will not transmit electricity. This allows you to move through security environments without triggering metal detectors. 

LIGHTWEIGHT

Hard Yakka footwear incorporate safety toe caps in a durable design which feels lightweight on the wearers foot, which helps reduce strain due to being on your legs and feet all day. 

STEEL SAFETY TOE CAP

All Hard Yakka footwear complies with Australian and New Zealand standards AS/NZS 2210.3:2009 or AS 2210.3:2019. 

ANTI-STATIC

Boots with Anti-Static properties are designed to reduce the build up of excess static electricity by conducting body charge to the ground. This offers a level of protection against ignition hazards such as flammable materials and gases. 

MEMORY FOAM FOOTBED

Sensitive to pressure and moulds perfectly around the contours of your foot. The PU bottom layer provides permanent cushioning and shock absorption. 

TOE BUMPER

Added toe protection which helps to increase strength and abrasion resistance. 

COMPOSITE TOE CAP

50% lighter than steel, non-metallic, non- magnetic, non-conductive and anti-corrosive. Its lightweight construction decreases foot fatigue.

All Hard Yakka footwear complies with Australian and New Zealand standards AS/NZS 2210.3:2009 or AS 2210.3:2019. 

NANO GRAVITY SAFETY TOE

Carbon Nanofiber Safety Toe Caps are up to 50% lighter than steel and 40% lighter than composite toe caps. Our Nano Cap technology makes our work boots more lightweight, comfortable and stronger while maintaining AS/ NZS 2210.3:2009 or AS 2210.3:2019 and EU & ASTM safety standards. 

WATER RESISTANT

Water resistant footwear will repel water so that it soaks in more slowly and are best used when walking through dew or occasionally damp areas. 

DUAL DENSITY PU / RUBBER

Hard Yakka rubber outsoles are tough, hard wearing, and oil and grease-resistant. The polyurethane midsole provides additional comfort and energy rebound. Heat resistant to

300 degrees Celsius. 

OIL & SLIP RESISTANT

Sole resistant to fuel oil and rated to SRA slip resistance which is tested using water on ceramic tile. 

WOMEN’S SPECIFIC FIT

Genuine women's specific fit.

DUAL DENSITY PU / TPU

Thermoplastic polyurethane outsoles have many useful properties including elasticity and resistance to oil, grease and abrasion. The polyurethane midsole provides additional comfort and energy rebound. Heat resistant to 130 degrees Celsius. 

REFLECTIVE

Beacon Mesh Reflective Technology for Enhanced Visibility in low light conditions. 

COMPRESSION MOLDED EVA (CME)

Provides energy rebound with every step. Essential for those who cover a high amount of KM on hard surfaces, acting as a shock absorber while still being lightweight. 

SRC SLIP RESISTANCE

SRC offers the most superior slip resistance for all surfaces. Tested on both ceramic tile floor with SLS solution and steel floor with glycerol.
