Men’s zip side safety boots combine an adjustable lace fit with convenient access through a side zip. Once the laces are set to suit the foot, the zip makes putting on and removing the boots easier without fully loosening the laces each time.
At The Coalface Workwear and Safety, the collection includes styles from Steel Blue, Blundstone, Mongrel, Oliver, KingGee, Hard Yakka, FXD, Magnum, Puma, Mack, Redback, Ascent, Gator and Wide Load. Different boot heights, materials and fit options provide choices for a range of work requirements.
Steel and Composite Toe Protection
The range includes steel and composite toe safety boots, with additional features varying between models. Selected styles offer scuff caps, cushioned footbeds, water-resistant uppers, waterproof construction or particular outsole performance features.
Toe protection is one part of the selection process. The boot’s certification, fastening system and other protective features should also match the workplace requirements. For more options with non-metal toe caps, explore the composite toe safety boots collection.
Boots for Construction, Trades and Industrial Environments
Zip side work boots provide options to consider for construction, trade workshops, warehousing, manufacturing, transport, landscaping and other industrial roles. Suitability depends on the individual boot and the hazards identified for the job.
Wet outdoor conditions may require waterproof construction, while abrasive environments may benefit from additional toe scuff protection. Hot surfaces, electrical hazards and specialised worksites require the relevant model specifications to be checked rather than relying on the boot’s appearance or toe material.
Fit, Widths and Everyday Comfort
Laces allow adjustment across the foot and around the ankle, while the zip provides access after that fit has been established. Choosing the correct size and width remains important, especially for long periods spent standing or walking.
Explore the wide fit safety boots collection for additional width options. The women’s zip side safety boots collection provides a separate selection of women’s styles and sizing.
For a fastening system without laces or zips, compare the slip-on safety boots collection.
Prices, Sale Styles and Boot Care
The range includes selected sale styles below $100, many options between $100 and $300, and premium or specialist boots above $300. Prices depend on the brand, construction and protective features, with current pricing shown on each product page.
Selected styles are available on sale throughout the year. Explore current offers in the men’s footwear sale collection, and maintain footwear with suitable boot care products. Cleaning dirt from the zip and following the manufacturer’s care instructions helps keep the fastening operating smoothly.
