Choosing the right safety footwear isn’t just about meeting standards—it’s about protecting your body, supporting your movement, and enabling you to perform at your best, every single day. Whether you're navigating rugged terrain, working in high-risk environments, or clocking long hours on-site, your boots need to work as hard as you do.

That’s why Blackwoods partners with Workwear Group, the supplier behind trusted brands like KingGee, to deliver safety footwear that’s engineered for Australian conditions and built to last.

Comfort that keeps you moving.

Every step you take places significant stress on your feet. Without the right support, fatigue and discomfort can quickly set in. KingGee’s XtremeGuard range is designed to reduce strain and enhance comfort through every shift.

With FLEX-TEC™ technology for natural movement, ShockGuard Pro midsoles to absorb impact, and anatomical rebound zones to reduce fatigue, these boots are built for endurance. Removable footbeds allow for orthotic inserts, and women-specific fits in the ONYX and BENNU ranges ensure tailored comfort.

Protection that goes beyond compliance.

Safety boots should do more than meet standards—they should actively protect you from the hazards of your worksite. KingGee XtremeGuard boots are built to withstand compression, punctures, impact, and extreme conditions.

Steel or composite toe caps meet AS 2210.3:2019 standards. WELLMAX® puncture protection and Poron®XRD™ metatarsal guards shield against sharp objects and heavy loads. Slip-resistant outsoles and 300°C heat resistance keep you grounded, while chemical-resistant options like the Bennu Caustic boot offer protection against spills and harsh substances.

Fit that supports you all day.

A proper fit isn’t just about comfort—it’s about preventing long-term foot issues and ensuring safety. KingGee designs its boots using Australian foot anatomy, with gender-specific midsoles and sizing for women’s styles.

Fit tips include using a Brannock device, checking toe clearance, and trying both boots with work socks to ensure accurate sizing.

Durability that stands up to the job.

Your boots should last as long as your workload demands. XtremeGuard is built for durability in the toughest conditions, from mining and oil & gas to construction and emergency services.

TECTUFF® performance leather, Kevlar® stitching, and XTKicker heel reinforcement extend boot life. Waterproof membranes and oil-resistant soles keep feet dry and safe, no matter the conditions.
