Application

The Blundstone Work Series Chelsea Boot 491, is ideal for users who work long days on hard concrete floors. The XRD material provides added comfort and stability, and the kick guard provides protection without the bulk of a toe cap, making it ideal for saving users from damaging cuts and scuffs in a critical contact zone.

Selling points

  • Patented SPS Max comfort system with XRD material in the heel strike zone for increased impact protection.
  • Kick guard toe for leather protection.
  • Pull-on, kick-off convenience.
  • Steel shank for maximum torsional stability.

Features and benefits

  • Resistant to slips, oil, acid, and electrical hazards.
  • Protects against heat up to 284 degrees F.
  • Polyurethane midsole for comfort.
  • Premium full grain leather.
  • Available in men's and women's sizes.

Origin

Blundstone is a 153-year-old brand with a long history of designing boots to keep users both safe and comfortable in the workforce.

Manufacturing/engineering specifications

Blundstone is a 100 percent Australian privately-owned family company headquartered in Hobart, Tasmania. The 491 is comprised of a premium oil-tanned leather upper, a polyurethane midsole for comfort, and a thermoplastic polyurethane outsole. One pair weighs 4 lbs.

Storage and display

The 491 comes with one pair per shoebox. We recommend carrying only left or right boots in full U.S. sizes nine through 12 on the truck. This will allow the distributor to fit approximately 90 percent of customers while only needing two full boxes of product.
