The 500 is the classic stout brown coloured, waxy premium leather, elastic sided pull on boot.

It has evolved with time over the years with the introduction of the the shock absorption in the heel and a removable full length footbed.

The waxy leather not only looks good but protects against moisture and with the Blundstone Boot Polish it easy to keep them looking good.

If the stout brown is not for you then this style comes in a Black, the 510 and a Walnut Brown, the 550.

They are REALLY comfortable too, with leather lining and a soft shock absorbing insole.

If I could, I would wear my Blunnies everywhere, well now with these stylish new clean looking Blundstone Urbans I can.

So what is there and which ones would suit your application.

Today I am going to look at safety boots (steel cap) because it can get confusing as to what you might need. Keep in mind all their safety boots meet the Australian standards.

First off is the Workfit range (3 Series) that is the cost effective general purpose safety boots. They come in pull on elastic sided version 310, 311 and 315. Then there is the lace up versions 312, 313, 314 and 317 and finally the zip sided lace up version that is becoming very popular the 318.

Next up is the Xtreme range (1 Series) that has the xtreme comfort insole and an extra TPU kick guard in the toe area to give longevity to the shoe by protecting the toe area. A general purpose safety boot with extra comfort and toe protection, models 172 pull on, 173 lace up hiker style and the 183 lace up tall version.

That brings us to the Xfoot range and the Xfoot Rubber range. These are Blundstone's Premium range of boots.

The difference between the two is mainly the rubber sole and a few high tech features like thicker waterproof platinum leather, bump caps on the toe and bamboo wicking lining etc. The rubber range generally has a higher temperature resistance of 300 Degrees Celsius where as the Xfoot has a Thermo Poly Urethane (TPU) outsole that is only resistant to 140 Degrees Celsius.

The Standard Xfoot models are (1 Series) 140 pull on brown,141 lace up, 142 lace up, 143 lace up and 145 pull on wheat. 

The Xfoot Rubber range models are (9 Series and the 297) 297, 990 pull on, 991, 992 zip sided, 993, 994, 995 high leg, 996 pull on riggers boot, 997 zip sided black and the 998 Wheat Lace Up.

So there you have it, a great range to suit most applications. Basically the more you pay the more you get but with a great range of options you can get what you need.

The Blundstone 531 leather lined black leather elastic sided boots for kids are available in sizes 7-3.

These are a great alternative to school shoes (no laces) and work exceptionally well if they have to take their shoes off before they come inside.

With pull tabs at the back and front they can slip them off quick and back on with ease, worth considering if you don't want your house full of dirt.

Equally suited to girls and boys, they also make a great dress shoe for the occasions where runners just don't cut it. Check them out here:

First launched internationally and a huge hit in Canada, Israel, USA, Europe, Asia they thought we might like them too, well they were ours first right!

According to local model and Instagram superstar Stephanie Claire Smith (@stephclairesmith), who is working with Blundstone on their campaign, the earthy tones go great with florals, denim or a leather jacket and you can wear them with shorts, dresses and jeans.

The Urbans come with the super soft, spongy and shock absorbing insole that uses Poron XRD making them great for wearing all day long. If you are going to wear boots they may as well be comfy right?

To top that the Blundstone Urbans range comes with their two year manufacturer’s warranty and a 30 day comfort guarantee. Check the full range out here:
