These features make Cougar the right choice for Building and construction, manufacturing, mining and industrial workplaces.
1. Composite toe cap: (Premium Range only)
In our range of premium safety footwear Cougar only manufactures boots with composite toe caps, and for good reason. Unlike traditional steel toe boots, Cougar’s composite technology provides:
- Maximum protection – Cougars composite toe boots meet AS/NZS 2210.3 standard. Protecting against impacts and compression hazards
- Lightweight comfort – Composite toe caps are 30% lighter than metal, reducing fatigue for long shifts.
- Non-metallic and non-conductive – ideal for electrical workers, security – restricted areas, and hot or cold environments where metal transfers temperature.
- Corrosion – free durability – Unlike steel, composite will not rust or weaken over time
Applications: Building and construction, electrical work, transport and logistics, mining or any job requiring all day wear with minimal foot fatigue.
2. Waterproof leather upper (Bundaberg, Alaska, Arizona & Toronto)
Wet feet are more than uncomfortable – they’re a safety hazard. The leather used in Cougar boots is treated with a waterproof leather upper providing enhanced protection against the elements and ensuring your feet stay dry in wet conditions
Unlike “water resistant” boots that only repel light moisture, Cougar boots provide:
- Waterproof leather – designed for continuous exposure to water, mud and harsh weather
- Prevents cracking – reduces the likelihood of leather from cracking by protecting it from water damage, which can dry out the leather and cause cracks to form
Applications: Building & Construction, wet industrial sites, mining, agriculture or any environment where workers are exposed to water.
3. Tapered ankle design: Better fit, better support (Bundaberg, Alaska, Arizona & Toronto)
- Secure fit and stability – Reduces ankle roll and provides better support on uneven terrain
- Less heel slip and blisters – A snug fit means less foot movement, preventing friction and discomfort
- More control and comfort – A tapered fit locks the foot in place, preventing excess movement inside the boot.
Applications: Building and construction, oil and gas, mining and any job requiring high stability and foot protection.
4. Premium comfort: Poron heel insert (Premium styles only)
For workers who spend long hours on their feet, Cougars premium boots feature a Poron heel insert, a high-performance material designed for soft comfort with excellent impact absorption
- Enhanced shock absorption- Poron reduces foot fatigue by absorbing impact, ideal for long shifts on hard surfaces
- Soft yet protective – delivers plush comfort while maintaining superior heel support and stability
Applications: Workers across all industries
