Blundstone 172 – Unisex Elastic Sided Safety – Stout Brown

Blundstone 172 – Unisex Elastic Sided Safety – Stout Brown The Blundstone 172 Unisex Elastic Sided Safety Boot in Stout Brown is a premium slip-on work boot designed for Australian workers who demand comfort, safety, and durability in tough conditions. With its iconic elastic sided design, the #172 offers effortless pull-on and kick-off convenience, making it a favourite among tradies, construction workers, and industrial operators who need reliable footwear for long hours on the job. Crafted from premium oil-tanned brown leather, the boot combines rugged durability with a refined, professional look. The leather is water-resistant, providing protection against light moisture while remaining flexible for superior comfort. The toe area features a kick guard, an essential element for high-impact zones, offering protection against scuffs, scratches, and accidental impacts that commonly occur on-site. This kick guard ensures the leather maintains its integrity, even in demanding work environments. Inside, the #172 incorporates Blundstone’s PU midsole and TPU outsole, both engineered for high performance. The TPU outsole is highly resistant to hydrolysis and microbial attack, maintaining traction and stability across slippery or uneven surfaces. The tread measures 6mm in depth and is fuel oil resistant, ideal for workplaces where oil spills, grease, and chemicals are common hazards. Additionally, the outsole is heat resistant up to 140°C, which makes it suitable for environments where hot surfaces are encountered. The slip-resistant properties of the sole further enhance safety, reducing the risk of accidents in wet or slick conditions. The SPS Max system with XRD® technology is integrated into both the heel and forepart strike zones, providing additional impact protection exactly where it’s needed most. This innovation helps absorb shocks from heavy impacts and reduces foot fatigue, even when walking or standing for extended periods. Complementing this, the boot comes with a removable Comfort Classic PU/foam cupped footbed, featuring XRD® Extreme Impact Protection in the heel and forepart inserts. This combination ensures excellent cushioning, arch support, and comfort throughout the workday, allowing workers to stay on their feet without discomfort or pain. The Blundstone 172 is electrical hazard resistant, offering peace of mind for electricians and others working around live circuits. The inclusion of a steel shank ensures correct step flex points and supports skeletal alignment, providing stability and reducing strain on the feet, ankles, and lower back. The boot’s broad fitting caters to a wide range of foot shapes, offering both security and comfort without tightness or pressure points. Safety, comfort, and practicality converge in the design of the #172. The elastic sided entry makes it easy to put on and take off quickly, while the rugged outsole ensures grip on all surfaces. The premium leather upper withstands daily wear and tear, while the kickguard and XRD® impact protection safeguard the most vulnerable areas of the foot. Heat, oil, and slip-resistant features further solidify its place as a dependable work boot in challenging environments. This boot is suitable across a range of industries, including construction, manufacturing, infrastructure, civil works, oil and gas, agriculture, and forestry. Its blend of durability, advanced safety technology, and comfort features makes it a reliable choice for workers who value both protection and all-day wearability.
