Oliver firefighting footwear range

Three Oliver Footwear choices have full compliance with the AS and NZS Standard 4821:2006 for Type 1 Wildland Firefighting and Type 2 Structural Firefighting Footwear, including the electrical insulating properties.

The first of the three fire boot choices, the Oliver 66-360 Wildland Firefighter Boot meets the requirements of a Type 1 safety boot suitable for general-purpose rescue, fire suppression, property conservation in buildings, enclosed structures, vehicles, vessels or any like situation where a fire or emergency situation may prevail.

The boot is a 180 mm, lace-up, fully lined boot with an optional zipper attachment for fast donning and doffing.

Construction includes high-quality black water-resistant leather with a heavy-duty nitrile rubber soling system that cushions the foot on impact. The upper is also flame retardant with red Nomex heavy-duty stitching and flameproof laces. There is also a lightweight, high-impact, wide-profile, non-metallic toe cap that is padded with a latex cushion liner for comfort and protection.

The high-density outsole is heat resistant to 300°C of surface contact, slip, cut, crack and split resistant. There is also a TECtuff toe bumper for abrasion or scuffing resistance and a flame-retardant, high-visibility reflective tape patch for identification.

The Oliver 66-395 and 66-396 Structural Firefighter Boots are a 230 mm lace-up structural firefighter boot and a 250 mm pull-on structural firefighter boot.

Their construction also uses similar features to the Wildland boot but with the additional features of a fully lined Sympatex waterproof liner and membrane plus the QFlex non-metallic midsole penetration protection.

The pull-on choice also has Poron, XRD metatarsal protection against impacts while the lace-up version also has the Poron, XRD extreme ankle protection. The lace-up style also has the option of the quick-release zipper attachment for fast donning and doffing.

The three firefighters’ boots include standard comfort features designed to protect the heel and ball of the foot and help reduce foot, leg and lower-back fatigue.

All three boots are available in sizes 3-15 including half size increments.
