Apache Mission Boot

When the mission demands the highest level of protection without a single gram of metal, the Apache Mission Boot (MISSION) rises to the challenge. A wide-fit, ESD-rated safety boot built for workers who operate in environments where non-metallic footwear isn't just preferred — it's essential. Crafted in premium brown leather with a waterproof, breathable construction and a comprehensive suite of safety certifications, the Mission is engineered to perform wherever the job takes you.

Premium Brown Leather with Waterproof Breathable Bootie

The Mission's brown leather upper combines a classic, professional appearance with the robust durability you'd expect from a serious work boot. Integrated within the upper is a waterproof and breathable bootie, creating a sealed barrier against water ingress while still allowing moisture vapour to escape. The result is feet that stay dry from the outside in wet conditions, and comfortable from the inside during physically demanding work — all day, whatever the weather.

100% Non-Metallic — ESD Rated

The Apache Mission is completely free of metal components, making it the ideal choice for workers in sectors where metallic footwear poses a risk — from airport security and defence environments to electrical installations and sensitive manufacturing. Alongside its non-metallic construction, the Mission carries ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) certification, protecting both the wearer and sensitive equipment from the risks associated with static electricity buildup. For industries where both requirements must be met simultaneously, the Mission is a standout solution.

Lightweight Composite Toe and Midsole Protection

Replacing traditional steel with advanced composite materials, the lightweight composite toe cap provides full impact and compression protection to EN ISO standards without adding unnecessary weight to the boot. The composite midsole delivers reliable underfoot puncture resistance across a full range of hazardous surfaces. Together, these non-metallic protective components make the Mission as capable as any steel-toecapped boot — and significantly more versatile in restricted or sensitive environments.

TPU Heel Counter — Durability and Ease of Removal

The TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) heel counter serves a dual purpose on the Mission. Structurally, it reinforces the heel cup, maintaining the shape of the boot over time and providing better ankle stability and rearfoot support during prolonged wear. Practically, it also acts as a boot pull, making removal quick and easy at the end of a shift — a small but genuinely appreciated detail for workers who are on their feet all day.

Core Comfort Insock — Cushioning That Goes the Distance

The Core Comfort insock is one of Apache's most trusted comfort innovations, and it's at the heart of the Mission's all-day wearability. Designed to cushion and support the foot across extended periods of standing, walking, and working on hard surfaces, it absorbs shock, reduces fatigue, and keeps the foot properly supported from first thing in the morning to the final hour of a long shift. Combined with a wide-fit last that accommodates a broader foot shape, the Mission is one of the most comfortable safety boots in its class.

GTS Grip Traction System PU/Rubber Outsole

The Mission is finished with the GTS (Grip Traction System) PU/Rubber outsole, a high-performance compound engineered to handle the full spectrum of demanding underfoot conditions:

• Heat resistance to 300°C (HRO) — outstanding thermal resistance for contact with extremely hot surfaces
• Fuel and oil resistance (FO) — maintains grip and structural integrity in petrochemical and fuel-exposed environments
• Ladder grip (LG/SC) — a tread profile designed to maximise grip on ladder rungs for safe, confident climbing
• Slip resistance (SR) — the highest available slip resistance classification, tested for wet, oily, and contaminated floor surfaces
• Heat insulation (HI) — protection against heat transmission from underfoot surfaces
• Cold insulation (CI) — keeps feet warmer when working in low-temperature or freezing conditions

This outsole specification positions the Mission as one of the most comprehensively protected boots in the Apache range — ready for construction, utilities, engineering, petrochemical, electrical, and defence environments alike.

Safety Standards

The Apache Mission meets the following EN ISO standards:

S7S | FO | HRO | SC | LG | HI | CI | SR

The S7S classification — the highest available waterproof safety boot standard — combined with HRO certification and full non-metallic, ESD-rated construction makes the Mission an exceptional choice wherever the most demanding safety requirements must be met.

Is the Apache Mission Boot fully waterproof? Yes. The Apache Mission features a waterproof and breathable bootie integrated into the upper, providing a reliable barrier against water ingress while allowing moisture vapour to escape for lasting comfort during active use.

Is the Apache Mission Boot non-metallic? Yes. The Mission is 100% non-metallic throughout, including a composite toe cap and composite midsole, making it suitable for use in environments where metal-free footwear is required, such as electrical, defence, and security settings.

What does ESD mean on the Apache Mission Boot? ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge. The Mission's ESD rating means it is designed to safely dissipate static electricity, protecting both the wearer and any sensitive electronic equipment or components in the working environment.

What safety standards does the Apache Mission Boot meet? The Apache Mission is certified to S7S, FO, HRO, SC, LG, HI, and CI standards, and carries the highest SR slip resistance rating, making it one of the most comprehensively protected safety boots in the Apache range.

What is the Core Comfort insock? The Core Comfort insock is Apache's in-house cushioning system, designed to absorb shock and reduce foot fatigue during prolonged periods of standing and walking on hard surfaces, ensuring all-day comfort even during the most demanding shifts.

What is the HRO rating on the Apache Mission? HRO stands for Heat Resistant Outsole. The Mission's GTS PU/Rubber outsole is independently tested and certified for heat and oil resistance up to 300°C, making it suitable for environments where contact with high-temperature surfaces is a risk.

Why does the Apache Mission have a TPU heel counter? The TPU heel counter on the Mission serves two purposes: it reinforces the structure of the heel cup for improved ankle support and long-term durability, and it acts as a practical pull tab for quick and easy boot removal at the end of a shift.
