Style 179 (Size 9.5)
I work in food service. I love what I do and think that what you wear on your feet is very important to quality of life, and great shoes are like and investment for your body.
My Area director recommended Blundstones and I decided to give them a try.
They werent as slip resistant as I had expected however they were up to spec for me to wear them in the different kitchens I would work in.
There was NO break-in period they were immediately comfortable, they protect my feet very well, and i absolutely love them!
I also like having a variety of shoe to wear so I dont wear one pair out really fast since thats what I tend to do. And these blundstones are great!
Thank you for a great product

The crush cap in the shoe causes lesther to get scarred up pretty quickly. The boot is well made, sole inserts are not good for high arches I replaced with some goodfeet inserts. My last pair of blundstones had better arch support out of the box, wasn’t expecting there to be any variation. So good shoes, need to purchase inserts if you have high arches and they will scar up quickly on the toe box.
Good, the only thing is the leather started peeling off the toe. I do not use my boots for any hard manual labor. I use them from my ems job. So I think its just a quality thing.
These boots are very comfortable, durable, easy to maintain, keep out water, and keep my feet safe. They've survived hundreds of miles while biking and many miles while walking as well. My one and only complaint of them is that they do not come in wide sizes, and as such I had to move up a size to have them fit correctly. This meant they were extremely loose on my feet until I got some thick inserts to keep my feet snug, now they barely move at all (sorry I can't find the brand, but they were yellow, made for work boots, and I bought them at sound feet shoes in NC). I have no real complaints about these other than that one sizing issue, but I have yet to see how they handle the cold (though double-layering socks usually mitigates that anyway.) They've stood up to my fairly relentless abuse (kicking stairs sometimes as I walk up them, getting wet, getting muddy, getting them dirty) and I can clean/polish them in 30 minutes to then have them look good enough for a formal event.
