An Australian Tradition
Since 1870 Blundstone footwear has made the
toughest, no nonsense footwear for one of the world's toughest
climates. In Tasmania if you want something done...well, you
have to do it yourself, life in the southern ocean gets pretty
rugged. On Tasmania's west coast, a gale force wind is regarded
as just a light breeze. Tasmania's central highlands have
been shaped by harsh winters and scorching summers. Tasmania's
south west coast has some of the most rugged coastline in
the world. Tasman Island receives the full brunt of storms
from the southern ocean. |

The patented Shock Protection System (SPS) is a standard feature in all our dual density soled safety footwear. The combination of SPS with Blundstone’s unique dual density soling, has revolutionized comfort in safety footwear.
SPS directly reduces workplace fatigue and orthopedic
problems in the lower back, legs and feet.
Dynamic tests indicate an
average
reduction in shock transmitted to
the
legs of 33% at a brisk walking pace. Technical
data sheets are available
giving
results from
physical
testing conducted by
CSIRO
Division

Polymers, computer

Blundstone’s original Shock Protection System has now been further enhanced with the use of PORON®, the world’s most advanced microcellular shock absorbing material. SPS x-tra features an additional PORON® strike pad to add another level of shock protection where it is most needed – in the heel strike zone. |
