The Blundstone #172 work and safety boots are packed with safety features including:
1. Premium Oil tanned leather
With nearly 150 years’ experience, we go the extra mile to source and select the right materials to craft the best boots we can. We inspect each piece of leather by hand before it begins the manufacturing process. If it doesn’t meet our quality standards, we choose not to use it. Simple as that.
2. TPU Outsole - 284°F heat resistant
The outsole is heat resistant to temperatures up to at least 284°F. The soling material will withstand temperatures encountered in the vast majority of industrial applications.
3. Comfort Classic footbed
Our Comfort Classic footbed is made from soft EVA, topped by a long-wearing mesh cover. This footbed has an airflow and moisture-wicking system and also includes large pads of XRD® Extreme Impact Protection under the ball of the foot and the heel. The footbed is breathable and washable.
4. Kickguard toe leather protection
The distinctive TPU kick guard provides extra leather protection in the exposed toe area, offering longer wear and durability.
5. Electrical hazard resistant
Certified to ASTM F2413-18. Clause 5.6 for electrical shock hazard resistance. Where there is a risk that a person may come in contact with a live electrical circuit, electrical shock hazard footwear will provide the best possible protection against electrical shock hazard.
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.
- 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.
Blundstone Stout Brown Premium Leather Chelsea Boots Work Style 172 Stout Brown / 10.5
Still have not worn the new blundstones, they are in reserve for wet weather.
My 4 year old pair will last the rest of summer before they go into semi retirerment!
I wear these 100% of the time, they last and last.
I wear these on union job sites and going to the grocery store, a great boot!
So far so good! For steel toe, I would say they are lighter than I expected. Not horrible to break in, and true to size! I’m about an Womens 8 (US) in anything else, but went for a 7 men’s (UK).
Fourth pair of Blundstones I’ve owned, first pair of safety style. They’re great. Wear from the office to the jobsite and back without missing a beat. Color is the only complaint, very black looking but also, why not more options?
Love these shoes! I work on concrete which is very hard on most boots but these have held up really well. I’m a few months in on them and just some light scuffing on the outsides. I’ll be on my feet 9-12 hours a day and they offer great support. I believe I sized up one size and that works for me but the sizing is still pretty accurate. 10/10 would recommend.
Great workboot! I needed a reliable steel-toe boot to stomp around demo sites in the Pacific Islands. Easy to travel with, I wore them en route and liked the on-and-off convieniece. The steel-toe gives your toes a lot of extra space.
