APEX THE WAIHI ZIP SIDE SAFETY BOOT

THE WAIHI ZIP SIDE (J1976 / J1977)

The ultimate combo of rock-solid support and "get out the door" speed. The Waihi Zip features a heavy-duty side zipper so you can set your laces once and completely bypass the morning faff. It's a lightweight, high-performance option built for the trade, making it perfect for guys constantly jumping from a muddy job site straight into a client's clean house.

Why we’d actually wear these:

• Heavy-Duty Side Zip: High-tensile side zipper lets you kick your boots off or slide them on in seconds flat, offering maximum convenience without losing an ounce of ankle support.
• Premium Nubuck Leather: Top-tier, rugged leather upper that delivers serious durability and style while breaking in fast for an instantly comfortable fit.
• Wide Form Steel Toe Cap: Ergonomic, wide-profile protection that gives your toes plenty of breathing room and freedom, cutting out that annoying pinching when crouching.
• Anti-Penetration Midsole: A built-in underfoot shield that stops stray nails, sharp rebar, and nasty site debris dead in their tracks for absolute peace of mind.
• Dual Density PU Sole: Engineered to be incredibly lightweight while acting as a heavy-duty shock absorber, saving your lower back and knees from punishing concrete floors.
• SRC Non-Slip Rated: Top-tier certified grip that ensures you stay firmly on your feet, delivering rock-solid traction on slick, wet, or greasy surfaces.
• Anti-Static Protection: Built-in safety design that safely dissipates static electricity buildup, ticking off an essential no-fuzz factor for commercial worksites.
