  • Work Boots With Orthotic Insoles Support

    The ultra-soft arch support insole helps to further cushion the foot,  reduces fatigue, and makes our work boots extremely comfortable. By raising the arches of the feet it helps to rest the supporting ligaments and muscles of the feet. When we rest the structures of the feet it allows them to heal making them less painful.  Because our boots are engineered and recommended by a podiatrist they help in the prevention of plantar fasciitis and other foot conditions.

  • Comfort Work Boot But Tough Enough For Any Element


    EVA Midsole

    The EVA midsole helps to cushion the heels and forefoot and reduce fatigue. By using the perfect density of Eva midsole (not too hard, not too soft) we can cushion the foot, knees, and leg. This leads to fewer aches and pains, and also a harder wearing midsole and a longer-lasting boot.


    Slip-resistant sole / outsole work boots

    The outsole of our boots is slip-resistant providing a good grip to prevent slips and falls. Our tread pattern will also help to grip uneven ground on the work site. A hard-wearing nitrile rubber helps to make the outsole of our work boots more durable and heat resistant.

Safety Work Boots Meets Comfort & Support

Ergonx Elements Safety Work Boots are tested to meet Australian & NZ Standards

Composite Toe Cap / Steel Cap Equivalent: We have replaced the traditional steel cap with a composite protective toe cap.  The steel cap in most modern safety boots has been replaced with a composite cap. P = Penetration resistance: Penetration resistance plate included in the footwear. A = Antistatic: To prevent the build-up of electricity to cause a spark. E = Energy Absorption: Extra shock absorption under the heel. SRA = Slip Resistant:  Slip Resistant ‘Ceramic tile with sodium lauryl sulfate’ HRO = Resistance to Hot Contact: The outsole does not melt, char, crack or craze when coming in contact with the 300℃ surface for one minute. FO = Resistance to fuel oil: The increase in the volume of the outsole shall be not greater than 12% after immersing in the fuel oil for 22 hours.

The Test Standards Safety Toe 200 Joules Impact Benefit:

The footwear protects the wearer’s toes against the risk of injury from falling objects when worn in industrial and commercial environments where potential hazards occur with the following protection plus, where applicable, additional protection. What: Australian & NZ Standards AS 2210.3:2019 Standard. To test the safety toe /safety shoe with a drop strike test machine at an impact energy of 200 Joule, the clearance under the toecap shall be by the standard of different sizes. Where: Toe

Safety Toe 15’000 Newton Compression Benefit:

The footwear protects the wearer’s toes against the risk of injury from crushing when worn in industrial and commercial environments where potential hazards occur with the following protection plus, where applicable, additional protection. What: Australian & NZ Standards AS 2210.3:2019 Standard. To test the safety toe with the plate of the compression machine until the load of 15000 Newton has been reached, the clearance under the toecap shall be by the standard of different sizes. Where: Toe

Safety Insert 1100 Newton Anti-Penetration Benefit: 

The footwear prevents the wearer’s feet from puncturing or being injured by sharp objects or nails. What: Australian & NZ Standards AS 2210.3:2019 Standard. To test the whole sole assembly using a truncated nail of diameter 4,5 mm and a force of 1100 N. Where: Penetration resistance insert
