Designed to work

The Blundstone #028 work and safety gumboots are packed with safety features including:

1. Waterproof safety gumboot

Gumboots which are highly resistant to water and liquid penetration.

2. Metatarsal Protection

Metatarsal guards provide protection for the top of the foot against a common traumatic foot injury - fractures of the metatarsal bones. A moulded guard of XRD® Extreme Impact Protection material provides flexibility and absorbs up to 90% of extreme impacts, time after time.

3. Penetration resistant steel midsole

Provides maximum resistance against perforation of the sole by nails and other sharp objects. Our leather boots with this feature have a composite penetration insole, the gumboots offering penetration resistance have a steel midsole.

4. Slip and abrasion resistant

The outsole is compliant to slip resistance standards in AS 2210.3:2019 and provides slip resistance through a combination of design, tread pattern and soling material.

5. Luxury Comfort Arch Footbed

Our ultimate Comfort Arch footbed is made from soft polyurethane, covered with a full length cushion of foam polyurethane, topped by a long wearing mesh cover. This footbed has an airflow and moisture wicking system and also includes a large pad of XRD® Extreme Impact Protection under the ball of the foot.

6. Steel toe cap

Broad fitting 200 Joule impact resistant Type 1 steel toe cap. Steel is the safest toe cap material available, providing the highest levels of resistance in constructed footwear against rolling side compression and cut resistance.

CARE DETAILS

- First, remove any caked dirt on your boots with a soft bristled brush or damp cloth, and leave your boots to air dry. Please ensure that your boots are away from direct sunlight or any heaters, as they will dry out the leather.

First, remove any caked dirt on your boots with a soft bristled brush or damp cloth, and leave your boots to air dry. Please ensure that your boots are away from direct sunlight or any heaters, as they will dry out the leather.

Apply leather polish, spray or cream to the leather to help maintain your boots. If you are using a polish for the first time, try it on an inconspicuous area of the boot to check whether it alters the colour or appearance.

If using a polish, apply a small amount of leather cleaner to a polishing cloth or brush and rub onto the shoe in circular motions.

Wipe away the residue and again leave to dry.

Use a suede brush, to scrub off any surface stains or dirt.

If you have any scuff marks, you can remove them with a gum eraser. Simply rub the scuff with the eraser and wipe away the rubber debris.

Then dampen a suede brush with a little water and pour a small amount of suede and leather cleaner on it. Then clean the shoe, focussing your attention on any particularly stained spots.

Dab the shoes with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture and leave to air dry.

Once dry, apply a water and stain repellent spray on the shoe to help prolong their life. Some suedes are best treated prior to wear if they have not been treated.

It’s a good idea to waterproof boots regularly to protect the leather from staining. If the leather is wet, let it dry naturally prior to cleaning or using any cleaning substances.

Use a dry nubuck cloth to remove any surface dirt. Then brush gently with a nubuck brush. Use a circular motion, taking care not to spend more than a few seconds on any area.

If you have any scuffs, remove them with a gum eraser. Simply rub the scuff with the eraser and wipe away the rubber debris. Alternatively, try a spray-on nubuck cleaning solution, then wipe the area with a nubuck cloth. It is important to follow the instructions on such products and ensure it is tested on a small area before wider application.

Dab the shoes with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture and leave to air dry.

Apply a nubuck water and stain repellent on the shoe to help prolong the life of your shoes.

Remember, it’s a good idea to waterproof boots regularly to protect the leather from staining. If the leather is wet, let it dry naturally prior to cleaning or using any cleaning substances.

Scrub away any patches of dirt with a soft bristled brush. Or, if you have one lying around, you can even use an old toothbrush.

Dip a cloth or soft bristled brush into some warm water and clean the entire surface of the boot.

Put some tissue paper inside your boots and leave them to air dry, to help maintain their shape when drying.

Never put your canvas Blundstones in a tumble dryer or they risk shrivelling and damaging the sole.

Never dry your boots by an open fire or artificial heat source, as this will cause the leather to harden, shrink and crack. It can even cause the leather to pull away from the sole. Always dry your boots naturally at room temperature. Always store your boots in a well ventilated, cool place away from sunlight or any heat which will tarnish the leather.

You should use a leather conditioner on your boots whenever they need them. If your boots are looking a little scuffed and worn, always remember to use a conditioner.

Similarly, you should use a suede protector on your suede boots when they are looking worn, and before you wear them on a rainy or sunny day.

Avoid exposing your boots to chemical contamination. Solvents, strong acids and alkalis will do irreparable damage on leather, whilst commonplace substances like milk and salt are also highly damaging. In the event of exposure, clean the boots immediately.

You should only use good quality cleaning substances and ones specific to the material of your boots.
