APEX LINESMAN ZIP WATERPROOF SAFETY BOOT (J6684) When you're scaling poles, working on towers, or navigating live electrical sites, you need specialized footwear built for the technical trades. The Apex Linesman Zip takes all the heavy-duty armor of a top-tier safety boot and packages it into a completely metal-free, 100% waterproof chassis with a fast side zip. Engineered with extra underfoot rigidity and extreme heat resistance, this is a no-fuzz boot built to keep you stable and safe when working at height or on hot ground. Why we’d actually wear these: Hydry Waterproof System & Internal Gusset: Features a highly breathable, premium internal membrane that locks out rain and mud while letting your feet breathe, plus a clever internal gusset behind the side zip to stop water and debris from sneaking in through the teeth. Reinforced Linesman Midsole: Extra bracing built right into the midsole to give you unmatched underfoot stability and comfort when spending long hours standing on ladder rungs, steel towers, steps, or digging with spades. Composite Anti-Penetration Midsole: A high-strength, flexible composite plate inside the sole shields your foot from nasty puncture injuries caused by rogue nails, tacks, or sharp steel on site. Composite Safety Toe Cap: Delivers professional-grade impact protection without the heavy weight of steel, keeping the boot nimble and saving your joints during long shifts. 300°C Heat-Resistant Rubber Outsole: Built to handle extreme conditions, this rugged rubber sole is rated for contact heat up to 300 degrees Celsius, while naturally resisting oils, common chemicals, and premature cracking. Airport Friendly & Metal-Free: Contains zero metallic components, making the boot completely non-conductive and ideal for passing through high-security or high-voltage sites without triggering sensors. Electrical Hazard (EH) Resistant: Fully certified to handle the hazards of the trade, offering crucial secondary protection against accidental electrical contact. Poron® & PU Shock Absorption: A dual-density PU mid-section combined with a premium Poron® padded innersole dampens the impact of walking on hard concrete, gravel, and rough outdoor terrain all day long. Triple-Stitched Stress Points: Heavy-duty thread runs through three separate rows of stitching on high-flex areas, ensuring the seams won't split open when the boot handles a bit of stick. Padded Top Line: Extra cushioning lined around the upper collar protects your calves and ankles from rubbing or pinching when you're flexing and crouching on the job. Tested in the Hawke’s Bay elements. Available for local pickup in Napier or fast NZ-wide shipping.
