The OrthoTec innersole provides additional cushioning, reducing foot fatigue during long hours on the job. Its slip-resistant sole (SRC rated) ensures stability on various surfaces, while the elastic-sided design allows for easy slip-on convenience without compromising a secure fit. This boot is ideal for workers in construction, trades, and industrial settings who require reliable protection and all-day comfort.
Features
1. 200J steel toe cap
A High Quality Steel Toe Cap that’s designed to meet Australian and New Zealand safety standard AS/NZS 2210.3, this technology offers premium protection for your toes.Mongrel Steel Cap boots are capable of resisting a drop force of 200J, 15kN of rolling objects, nail gun puncture and power saw cut
2. AirZone® Comfort System
The AirZone® Comfort System works by trapping air in the heel cavity, creating a cushion-enhanced comfort for the wearer. The superior cushioning absorbs sudden blows and the degenerative effects of constant heel strike. Like the other design features you’ll find in the sole of your Mongrels, the AirZone® Comfort System is designed to give you an extra spring in your step by enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue.
3. Electrical hazard resistant
Mongrel Safety Boots are manufactured to numerous standards, including: AS 2210.3:2019, ISO 20345:2011, MOD, ASTM F2413. The ASTM standard for electrical hazard protection is that the boots must be capable of withstanding 18,000 volts at 60 hertz for one minute with no current flow to the foot.
4. Slip, oil & fat resistant TPU/PU ToughSider sole
The ToughSider sole gets going when the going gets rough! The ToughSider sole is a hallmark of the Mongrel sole design and is comprised of a deeper and wider tread pattern, similar to that of a 4WD mud tyre. The design enhances your performance giving you more grip and stability in rugged terrain. With built-in arch support, the ToughSider sole reduces fatigue and guarantees you a smoother ride.
5. OrthoTec Air footbed w/ anatomical arch support
The technology found in the OrthoTec Air footbed has been designed specifically for the Mongrel boots. The interconnected air holes assist the closed-cell polyurethane foam structure to circulate air throughout the boot, creating constant air flow and increased levels of comfort. OrthoTec Air features anatomically designed arch support and an AirZone® Comfort System inside its soft yet stable polyurethane structure. This all creates a shock absorber like effect to absorb sudden blows and combat the degenerative effects of heel strike, which in turn enhances comfort and reduces fatigue. This footbed is the most popular and can be found in the majority of Mongrel boots.
6. Chelsea cut upper
Chelsea boots are a specific type of ankle boot characterised by elastic side panels that make them easy to slip on and off. They typically have a sleek and streamlined design with no laces. Chelsea boots often feature a loop or tab at the back to help pull them on.
7. Coats Nylbond stitching
Coats Nylbond™ is a bonded nylon thread made from pre-stabilized continuous filament nylon 6.6.
Coats bonded nylon thread’s unique proprietary bond chemistry produces a strong and high abrasion resistant nylon thread with no ply untwisting, no flaking, and no ‘sewn in’ colour change. This high-tenacity Nylon 6.6 allows for outstanding strength and durability.
8. Suede leather
Suede leather is a type of leather characterized by its soft, napped surface, achieved by sanding the inner layer of the animal hide. This process results in a material that is both flexible and has a distinctive texture. In the case of the Mongrel 240040 Boot, the use of suede leather provides a comfortable fit and a classic appearance. However, it’s important to note that while suede offers these benefits, it is generally less resistant to moisture and stains compared to full-grain leather, which is derived from the outer layer of the hide and retains the natural grain. Therefore, proper care and maintenance are essential to preserve the quality and longevity of suede leather products.
