Built for Women on the Job
Unlike a unisex boot resized down, the Southern Cross is engineered from the ground up with a women's steel toe fit, with a shorter ankle length and smaller instep. The side zip gets you in and out quickly, and the padded collar keeps things comfortable through a full shift.
Serious Protection in a Compact Package
The 200 Joule ErgoDefender™ Steel Toe Cap and Penetration Resistant midsole handle impact, compression, and puncture hazards, while the TPU Outsole's 0.40 slip resistance rating (F2913-11 test standard) keeps you steady on oily or wet floors. All of it is backed by independent certification to ASTM F2413.
