The Blundstone #172 work and safety boots are packed with safety features including:
1. PREMIUM OIL TANNED LEATHER
With nearly 150 years’ experience, they go the extra mile to source and select the right materials to craft the best boots they can. They inspect each piece of leather by hand before it begins the manufacturing process. If it doesn’t meet their quality standards, they 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.
DESCRIPTION
