The Austra Pinnacle Chelsea Safety Boot is a premium, high-performance work boot engineered for the rigorous demands of the South African agricultural, construction, and engineering sectors. Combining the classic, easy-access Chelsea silhouette with a high-tenacity Steel Toe Cap, it is the primary choice for professionals who require a boot that transitions seamlessly from a dusty construction site to a corporate boardroom. Crafted from superior-grade waxy leather, the Pinnacle series is designed to withstand “Highveld-abrasion” while providing the all-day comfort required for 12-hour shifts.
Key Performance Features
- ASTM/SANS Rated Steel Toe Cap: Provides a reinforced barrier against heavy falling objects and compression, ensuring maximum safety in high-risk industrial zones.
- Premium Waxy Leather Upper: Fabricated from high-quality, oil-treated brown leather that is naturally water-resistant and develops a rugged patina over time.
- High-Elasticity Side Gussets: Features heavy-duty, reinforced elastic panels and dual “pull-tabs” for a secure fit and effortless “slip-on, slip-off” functionality.
- Dual-Density PU Sole: Engineered with a shock-absorbing polyurethane midsole and a slip-resistant outer sole, providing superior traction on oily or uneven surfaces.
Ideal Applications
- Agricultural & Farm Management: The go-to boot for South African farmers who need a durable, thorn-resistant leather boot that can handle mud, dust, and livestock environments.
- Construction & Site Inspection: Ideal for site managers and engineers who require a professional-looking boot that meets all mandatory OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) requirements.
- Technical Trades & Logistics: Perfect for electricians, plumbers, and warehouse managers who are constantly on the move and require a lightweight yet protective safety shoe.
- General Outdoor Workwear: A robust choice for DIY enthusiasts and gardeners who need a reliable, “workhorse” boot for weekend projects and heavy lifting.
Product Benefits
- Acid & Oil Resistant Outsole: The specialized sole compound is resistant to common chemicals and hydrocarbons, preventing the rubber from “swelling” or degrading in industrial settings.
- Breathable Moisture-Wicking Lining: Features a high-tech internal mesh that draws sweat away from the foot, keeping the wearer cool and preventing fungal buildup in the South African heat.
- Heat Resistant Construction: The sole is designed to withstand contact heat up to 90°C, making it suitable for hot asphalt or sun-baked steel decks.
Pro Tip: To maintain the water-resistance and “waxy” finish of your Austra Pinnacle boots, we recommend treating the leather monthly with a high-quality Dubbin or Beeswax-based leather conditioner. This prevents the leather from cracking in the dry South African winter and ensures the steel toe housing remains securely anchored within the leather structure.
