Today the Blundstone name is synonymous with quality footwear. Markets stretch to all areas of the globe and the Blundstone name is just as likely to appear on Parisian catwalks as it is in the mines of the Pilbarra.

Since 1870 Blundstone footwear have made the toughest no nonsense footwear for one of the world''s toughest climates.

The Technology

Blundstone has an unrivalled technological base, and strong emphasis is placed on technical innovation. Direct sole moulding technologies available include dual density PU, PU/ rubber, TPU/PU, PVC, nitrile rubber, and dual density rubber.

The company’s in-house engineering resources are focused on developing improved processes, and building the plant and tooling necessary to implement them. Extensive use is made of computer technology and robotics. Blundstone has in-house CAD/CAM facilities, and development of lasts, sole designs, and steel toecaps is carried out on site.

The world patented Shock Protection System (SPS) is a standard feature in all our dual density Polyurethane (PU) and Polyurethane/Nitrile rubber soled safety* and non-safety footwear. This combination of SPS with dual density soling which is unique to Blundstone, has revolutionised safety* footwear.
SPS directly reduces workplace fatigue and orthopedic problems in the lower back, legs and feet.
