  • Steel toe, composite toe or soft toe

    A steel toe is the cheapest way to meet a site requirement and is the standard most trades are asked for, like the Redback USBOK. A composite toe gives the same impact protection with less weight and no metal, which is what the Blundstone 7550 and 7560 comp toe boots are. A soft toe is for work where there is no crush risk, so the Redback UBOK and UBBK, the Blundstone 600 and the 610 suit farm, yard and driving work. Check what your site specifies before you choose, because the wrong one gets you turned away at the gate.

  • Pull on or lace up

    Elastic sided pull on boots come on and off at the door and have nothing to catch, which is why they dominate on farms and in trades. Lace ups hold the ankle and let you adjust the fit through the day, and the Blundstone 795 safety lace up jogger and the Redback Whistler cover that end. The Whistler comes in Pipeline Tan, Iron Bark and black.

  • Comfort over a long day

    If you are on concrete all day the sole system matters more than the upper. The Blundstone Rotoflex 8554 in sand and the womens Rotoflex 8860 are built around that, and the Redback Bobcat and the Banana suede soft toe are long standing favourites for all day wear. Two pairs rotated dry out properly overnight and last noticeably longer than one pair worn flat.

  • Looking after them

    Leather lasts if you feed it. Blundstone renovating cream in brown, black and rustic puts the oils back, the polishing pad works it in, and the waterproof spray helps on wet days. Morris Outside boot guards in oilskin and heavy duty drill cotton in khaki and navy take the scuffing on the toe and instep, which is where a boot usually dies first.

  • Socks, gaiters and the rest of the range

    The sock does as much for comfort as the boot. Merino, bamboo and compression options sit in work socks, and boot socks, gaiters and boot guards brings those together with the protective extras. For walking rather than working, see hiking boots, and the whole range is under our footwear range. If you need ADF approved combat boots, the Garmont T8 NFS and T8 BIFIDA are listed with the rest of the recruit kit, not here.

Choosing work boots

Do I need steel toe or composite toe work boots?

Both meet the same impact and compression protection. Steel is cheaper and the default most sites accept. Composite is lighter, does not conduct cold and contains no metal, which matters if you go through metal detectors or work in extreme temperatures. If your site simply says safety toe, either is fine; if it names steel specifically, buy steel.

Are the Blundstone 600 and 610 safety boots?

No. The 600 and the 610 are soft toe boots, so they have no protective toe cap and will not satisfy a site that requires safety footwear. They suit farm, yard, workshop and driving work. For a safety toe in a similar pull on shape, look at the Redback USBOK steel toe or the Blundstone comp toe models.

Why are some Blundstone boots listed in UK sizes?

Blundstone sizes several of its lines, including the Rotoflex 8554, the comp toe 7550 and 7560 and the 795 safety jogger, in UK sizing rather than AU. UK and AU men's sizing run close, but if you are between sizes come in and try the pair on, because the fit differs between the 500 series shape and the safety and Rotoflex lasts.

How do I stop new work boots rubbing?

Wear them for short stints first so the leather takes your shape before a full shift. Lace ups should be snug over the instep and looser at the top so the heel cannot lift. A thicker merino or bamboo sock fills spare volume and moves sweat, which is what causes most of the rubbing in the first place.

What is the best way to make work boots last?

Keep the leather fed and keep the toe covered. Renovating cream every few weeks stops the leather drying and cracking, a waterproof spray helps in the wet, and a boot guard takes the abrasion on the toe and instep where boots normally fail. Rotating two pairs so each dries fully also adds real life.

Do you stock womens and kids work boots?

Yes. The Blundstone womens Rotoflex 8860 is a womens specific fit, and the kids 630 and 631 are the same elastic sided shape in children's sizing. Many of the unisex lines also run down into smaller sizes, so it is worth trying a pair on.
