With a heavy industrial pedigree and a lightweight water-resistant nubuck upper, the #989 is a great combination of safety and comfort with the added convenience of an elastic side.
The Blundstone #989 work and safety boots are packed with safety features including:
1. 572°F resistant
The outsole is heat resistant to temperatures up to at least 572°F. The soling material has a very high insulating value and can be expected to provide short term resistance to melting and cracks in temperatures in the highest ranges that are normally encountered in an industrial environment.
2. 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.
3. Electrical hazard resistant
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.
4. Water-resistant upper
Premium leather is treated to provide extra water-resistant properties. Footwear with this symbol is particularly suitable for muddy conditions.
5. Oil/Acid resistant
The soling material is resistant to most chemicals encountered in industrial situations underfoot.
6. Slip-resistant outsole
The outsole provides slip-resistance through a combination of design, tread pattern and soling material.

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.
The footbed and soles are comfortable, but I am having issues with my right boot. When I am in a sitting position, my right foot gets squeezed by the boot in such a way that it begins to cut off circulation to some of the large veins that run across the top of my foot. It seems to be the seems
It’s the three year the union lets me get new boots I really like them and I love how they fit the only thing is the insoles get worn out really fast I’m about to order a new pair of steel toes at the plant I work for I walk 16-20 miles a day
These are the best shoes I've ever owned; I don't want to wear anything else! The chunky bottoms keep me out of mud and water and they are so easy to slip on. I really like the steel toes. They are so so so comfy to walk around in all day and the bottoms are grippy even on really slippery surfaces. Could not recommend these shoes more.
