Blundstone boots for the yard, the site and town. The classic 600 and 610 pull ons, the stout brown 705, the 659 and 663 square toe dress boots, the #720 and #730, and the safety boots from the 7550 and 7560 composite toe to the Rotoflex 8554, the womens Rotoflex 8860 and the 795 safety lace up jogger. Kids get the 630 in brown and the 631 in black. They are stocked in store at Baylis Street, Wagga Wagga, with Blundstone boot care alongside.
Soft toe or composite toe
The 600, 610 and 705 are soft toe, for work where there is no crush risk. The 705 is fuel and oil resistant and heat resistant to 140 degrees. Where a site asks for a safety toe, the 7550, 7560 and Rotoflex 8554 carry a 200 joule composite toe cap that is metal free, and the womens Rotoflex 8860 has composite toe protection too. The full set of work boots sits alongside if you are comparing brands.
Dress boots that still work
The 659 is a square toe in brown Thoroughbred full grain leather and the 663 is the same shape in black premium leather, the pair you wear to the paddock and then to town. The 600 in brown leather is the classic Chelsea that does both. For something away from boots altogether, see the rest of the boots and shoes.
Socks, guards and care
Blundstone renovating cream comes in brown, black and rustic, the polishing pad is a pre saturated sponge for working it in, and the waterproofer spray is a 125 ml can. Pair new boots with proper work socks, and look at gaiters and boot guards for the scuffing on the toe and instep.
Common questions
Should I try Blundstones on in store before buying?
It is worth it. The safety models are listed in UK sizes (the 7550, 7560, 8554 and 795 say so in the name) and the #720 and #730 list UK 3 to UK 13, so if you usually buy in another sizing system a fitting settles it. Wear the socks you work in when you try them.
Which Blundstones suit a site with metal detectors?
The 7550 and 7560 composite toe boots. Their toe cap is metal free and rated to a 200 joule impact, which is the reason they are chosen for workplaces with security screening.
Can a dress boot handle work?
The 659 is described as at home in the city or the country, and the 663 as good for the paddock or on the town. Both are soft toe, so they are not for sites that require a safety toe.
How do I look after Blundstone leather?
Clean the boot, work renovating cream in the matching colour into the leather with the polishing pad, then use the waterproofer spray before wet weather. Feeding the leather keeps it from drying and cracking at the flex points.
Do you stock Blundstone kids boots?
Yes. The 630 in brown and the 631 in black are pull on kids boots with no laces, made for school and everyday wear.
