Oliver Boots Ireland: Oliver 55 Series Work Boots Explained
Searching for Oliver boots in Ireland usually leads to one family: the 55 Series. Oliver's catalogue code for it is AT55, and these Oliver work boots sit higher on the ankle than the brand's lower-cut AT45 line, with some styles rising to 200mm. A taller shaft helps keep sparks, hot offcuts and loose debris out of the boot, which is why welders and metal fabricators tend to look at this range first. The leather upper and layered sole are built for long days on building sites and in tougher industrial settings.
Oliver has been in the boot business since 1887. The company grew out of the gold-mining scene around Ballarat in Victoria, Australia, and today it makes safety footwear for industries from construction to mining.
All 15 Oliver work boots in the AT55 Series
Oliver lists 15 AT55 styles on its Australian range page. The table below puts every one of those Oliver work boots side by side, so you can match any code on a boot, quote or invoice to the exact style.
Reading the codes: a Z at the end marks the zip-sided version (55332 is the lace-up, 55332Z is the zip-sided one). Buyers type these codes in several ways, such as 55-352z, 55352Z or 55 352
Which Oliver boots style is right for you?
- Zip-sided (55330Z, 55332Z, 55340Z, 55350Z, 55352Z): the fastest to get on and off, handy if you take your boots off several times a day.
- Lace-up (55332, 55336, 55337, 55345, 55346): the classic option when you like to fine-tune the fit with the laces.
- Elastic-sided dealer boots (55320, 55322): pull-on boots with no laces or zips to deal with.
- 200mm hi-leg (55380, 55385): the tallest shaft in the range, for the most ankle cover.
- Heat and sparks: Oliver's homepage points to the 55345Z for hot working conditions and quotes a temperature of up to 300° HRO.
Colours
Oliver offers the AT55 in four colours: black, wheat, stone and brown. Black and wheat have the most styles (six each), stone has two and brown has one.

Oliver boots Australia vs Ireland: what to know before you buy?
Oliver is an Australian company, which is why a search for Oliver boots Australia brings up oliver.com.au. It is a useful place to check specifications, but it is not an Irish shop. The AT55 codes used there are the same codes you will see on Irish listings, so Oliver's datasheets are handy for double-checking any pair before you order.
For an Irish order, the practical points are:
- Sizing: Oliver's Australian range page lists sizes in UK/AU. Oliver Boots come in sizes from Size 4-16 and ½ sizes between 6 1/2 & 12 1/2
- Certification: Confirm the EU safety marking (EN ISO 20345) on the datasheet and the boot label for the exact code you buy. They are not certified like the S3 & S7 are here in the EU. Main difference being a steel or composite midsole
- Range: the Australian site shows Oliver's full list of ranges, and not every style will be in stock in Ireland, so check availability first.
- Delivery and returns: WTH Supplies delivers across Ireland, with free shipping over €150 (3-5 working days) and exchanges within 28 days if the boots are unworn and in their original packaging.
Sizing
