The Bata Hero 501 has long been one of our most popular boots mainly due to its comfortable sole and exceptional ankle support, while still meeting AS/NZS 2210.3.Safety Standards. This boot has a very impressive list of features.
A rubber outsole means that it is oil, acid and heat resistant to 300 degrees C. This allows people who work with sparks and flames, welders or even those in a smeltering plant to have a comfortable boot that really protects them. Under this protective rubber is a layer of softer Polyurethane to aid in the comfort and support of your foot. But that’s not all.
Bata's Torsion Tech Stabilizer prevents the boot from twisting to a point that causes damage, giving you a safe and comfortable fit. The Hero’s Poron® high impact heel insert absorbs shock as the heel comes down and constantly disperses the pressure for those standing on hard surfaces all day long. If that wasn’t enough, the boot has a breathable lining including a latex toe cap liner, as well as TRI density PU/Foam comfort insole. This is an excellent boot for those working on a concrete floor.
Bata has recently improved the Hero by adding a BOA stainless steel lacing system, but that’s another story. Now we’re set to clear the original Hero 501 (in black) and the Hero 502 (in wheat), so we’ve cut the price to just $69.95 a pair.

Cheapest alternative I could find was $100 + shipping and most places were $120-$130 + shipping. Good deal.
