BLUNDSTONE Wheat premium nubuck lace up/zip ankle safety boot Blundstone boots are rugged, with their own natural beauty and distinctive look and feel. Built tougher than they need to be, they reflect the place theyre from. There is no place on Earth like Tasmania and no boots on Earth like the ones that were born there. And while they have evolved in style, design, and technology over the years, the quality has never changed. They are still built as they always have been: to go anywhere, do anything, and look great every step of the way. They are more than just boots. They are Blundstones. Created in close collaboration with miners, our award-winning #980 boot is built to safely and comfortably handle the most demanding underground environments.
