<str<strong>on</strong>g>Pull</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>comfort</strong><br />
since 1870.<br />
Few products can claim a place in your heart –– let al<strong>on</strong>e your wardrobe ––<br />
from cradle to grave. Blundst<strong>on</strong>e boots are <strong>on</strong>e of them.<br />
The love affair starts young. L<strong>on</strong>g before little hands can wrestle laces into a<br />
bow, lace-less Blundst<strong>on</strong>e boots and their handy pull tabs are already offering<br />
kids a wee taste of footwear independence –– while Mom and Dad get freedom<br />
from knots and broken laces.<br />
As little feet grow, removable Blundst<strong>on</strong>e footbeds allow for m<strong>on</strong>ths of extra<br />
wear and added good value. Blunnies still kicking? They make perfect little handme-downs.<br />
Bigger kids like the pull-<strong>on</strong>, kick-off, go-anywhere, wear-with-anything ease.<br />
Leaving the gunk from the outside world at the door is a slam dunk.<br />
In the dating years, say, from your teens to your eighties, nothing looks better<br />
with jeans or shorts or a breezy summer dress. Unisex Blundst<strong>on</strong>e boots make legs<br />
look sexy.<br />
All al<strong>on</strong>g life’s path, owning a pair of Blundst<strong>on</strong>e boots –– and a spare pair<br />
–– just makes sense. Sneakers get soaked, and ordinary leather shoes and boots<br />
are lunch for road salt. But Blundst<strong>on</strong>e treads grip the ground, oiled leather keeps<br />
weather out, and both sole and leather are molded seamlessly together –– nary a<br />
stitch –– so dirt and grit can’t get in. The patented soles cushi<strong>on</strong> each step by 33%<br />
for countless t<strong>on</strong>s less pounding <strong>on</strong> you. Life’s perfect travel compani<strong>on</strong>s. Boots off<br />
at the airport? No problem! No laces!<br />
Since 1870, the family-owned company has proudly maintained the quality,<br />
integrity and authenticity of their products through the generati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
Try <strong>on</strong>e pair and Blundst<strong>on</strong>e boots will be with you, too, every step of the way.<br />

Well worn.<br />
We hear it every day. \“The<br />
<strong>on</strong>ly problem with Blundst<strong>on</strong>e<br />
boots is that they last too l<strong>on</strong>g.”<br />
In our throw-away world wouldn’t<br />
it be nice if every product had<br />
such a “problem”? If they got<br />
better over time, not worse?<br />
Landfills are full of broken<br />
promises. But they’re not<br />
full of Blundst<strong>on</strong>e boots.<br />
We’re <strong>comfort</strong>able<br />
with that.<br />

The Original.<br />
This is the classic Blundst<strong>on</strong>e: lean, clean and straightforward. Shaped like the<br />
human foot for ultimate <strong>comfort</strong> from the very first step. How did Blundst<strong>on</strong>e<br />
make them so light? Easy. They left off the bells and whistles. Our best-selling<br />
boot is simplicity itself and goes with everything – jeans, skirts, pants and<br />
shorts. Weatherproof leather<br />
upper is fused seamlessly<br />
into a polyurethane sole. The<br />
patented Shock Protecti<strong>on</strong><br />
System (SPS) reduces foot strike<br />
shock by 33%. Round toe,<br />
medium width, in black or brown.<br />
We’ve seen a few attempts at<br />
knock-offs but nothing steps<br />
up like the Original.<br />

The Chisel Toe.<br />
Some dress boots miss the point: You do not spend your whole life dressed up.<br />
The classic Blundst<strong>on</strong>e Chisel Toe understands. This is a boot that’s as <strong>comfort</strong>able<br />
<strong>on</strong> the trail as it is in town. And the thermopolyurethane<br />
soles make a lot of sense in<br />
a country like <strong>Canada</strong> where winter can<br />
often be cold – not to menti<strong>on</strong> wet, slushy<br />
and miserable. They love the punishment. The<br />
thinner sole profile lets you dress them up<br />
or down – Chisels do a nice job of chipping<br />
the formal ‘edge’ off a suit. The patented<br />
Shock Protecti<strong>on</strong> System absorbs 33% of<br />
the abuse so your b<strong>on</strong>es and joints<br />
d<strong>on</strong>’t have to. Weatherproof<br />
leather uppers fused into the<br />
soles. Square toe, medium<br />
width. Dressy or<br />
casual. Your call.<br />

I am a certified<br />

Alberta, <strong>Canada</strong>, and have<br />
been actively treating patients<br />
for over 30 years. I make<br />
orthopedic devices including<br />
very many foot orthotics.<br />
I recently purchased a<br />
pair of your boots and<br />
wore them for 5 days<br />
straight while attending<br />
a c<strong>on</strong>ference in Las<br />
Vegas. I have never worn<br />
footwear as trouble free<br />
and outright <strong>comfort</strong>able as<br />
the Blundst<strong>on</strong>e (Clarks and<br />
Rockports can’t begin to<br />

I will definitely<br />
recommend them to<br />
my patients!<br />

Chunk Sole with the kick-toe<br />

all-weather leather in unisex sizes.<br />
Another Chunk off the old block<br />

I’ve been wearing<br />
Blundst<strong>on</strong>e boots for years<br />
and have been in Afghanistan for<br />
almost two years and there has not been<br />
a day g<strong>on</strong>e by while I’ve been here that<br />
I haven’t had my Blundst<strong>on</strong>e boots <strong>on</strong>.<br />
I get asked about them all the time<br />
from people all over the world and<br />
if they can fit in to mine for an<br />
impromptu fitting. The pers<strong>on</strong><br />
is immediately sold and<br />
asks me where they<br />
can get a pair.<br />
If it wasn’t for my beloved<br />
Blundst<strong>on</strong>e boots, I d<strong>on</strong>’t know<br />
how I would have made it across<br />
Tibet. They were especially handy<br />
at Mt. Everest Base Camp where<br />
they kept my toes toasty warm<br />
and were perfect for the rocky<br />
terrain. Next stop for my boots….<br />
The Aussie Outback! Ularu,<br />

This spring, work began <strong>on</strong><br />
my sister and brother-in-law’s new<br />
house. The house is being c<strong>on</strong>structed<br />
with natural building techniques,<br />
including straw and clay walls. I was<br />
eager to help out, but I was informed<br />
that I needed to wear safety boots <strong>on</strong><br />
the c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> site. Glad to have an<br />
excuse to buy a pair of Blundst<strong>on</strong>e<br />
boots, I purchased a pair at my<br />
neighbourhood shoe store. The<br />
boots were the best. They<br />
kept my feet dry<br />
and blister-free.<br />

With a little TLC, it’s not<br />
unusual for Blundst<strong>on</strong>e<br />
boots to last for years.<br />
Our boots are crafted from the best available leathers and comp<strong>on</strong>ents,<br />
employing the expertise gained over 140-some years of bootmaking.<br />
Leather is a natural material so your boots will benefit from the following<br />
advice:<br />
• If your boots get wet, stuff with newspaper to absorb the moisture and to keep the<br />
shape of the boot. Always dry them at room temperature – never with<br />
artificial heat!<br />
• To keep the boots weatherproof and pliable, you should dress the leather with a<br />
suitable wax based treatment after cleaning. We recommend the<br />
use of our Blundst<strong>on</strong>e Clear and Waxy sp<strong>on</strong>ge c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>er.<br />
• Cleaning - A mixture of <strong>on</strong>e part vinegar to three parts water is a perfect natural<br />
cleaner for your boots.<br />
• Take care of your boots, and your boots will<br />
take care of you.<br />

D<strong>on</strong>e that.<br />

Comm<strong>on</strong>ly asked questi<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
Are Blundst<strong>on</strong>e boots water resistant?<br />
Our weatherproof leather is as water resistant as any leather can be, while still allowing the<br />
foot to breathe. If properly cared for, they will prevent most water penetrati<strong>on</strong>, keeping your<br />
feet warm and dry. Blundst<strong>on</strong>e’s unique c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> with a limited number of seams means<br />
there are few places for water to get in. No leather boots are 100% waterproof.<br />
What is SPS?<br />
Blundst<strong>on</strong>e’s Shock Protecti<strong>on</strong> System (SPS) disperses shock at heel strike and reduces<br />
skeletal stress. SPS is incorporated into the boot c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> to absorb energy from impact<br />
at heel strike. Revoluti<strong>on</strong>ary tests indicate that an average of 33% less shock is transmitted<br />
to the leg at a walking pace. This shock would otherwise be absorbed by your feet, knees<br />
and vertebrae.<br />
Can i put a footbed in my Blundst<strong>on</strong>es?<br />
Only use the extra pair of footbeds if you need<br />
to snug up the fit. If the boots feel too tight<br />
initially, please check to make sure the extra<br />
pair of footbeds are not already in the boots.<br />
Not every<strong>on</strong>e needs or wants the extra pair of<br />
footbeds at first. Please hold <strong>on</strong>to the extra pair<br />
of footbeds as you may want to use them after<br />
the boots have stretched out a little.<br />
Do Blundst<strong>on</strong>es come with a warranty?<br />
Yes! All Blundst<strong>on</strong>e products are fully guaranteed against defects in materials and<br />
workmanship. Our warranty does not guarantee or imply an expectati<strong>on</strong> of service life. In<br />
simpler terms, Blundst<strong>on</strong>e products are not guaranteed for a specific amount of time. We<br />
fix what we can, and replace what we cannot. All warranty queries must be submitted from<br />
the customer’s original place of purchase. “We stand by our products, and have been doing<br />
so since 1870.”<br />

Rule of Toe: For women subtract 2 1/2 to 3 sizes from your Canadian<br />
size. For men subtract 1 to 1 1/2 size from your Canadian size.<br />
It is not abnormal for there to be some initial movement in the boot, particularly in the<br />
heel area. Length is the most important element when trying them <strong>on</strong>. All Blundst<strong>on</strong>e<br />
boots have reinforced toes which help keep the shape of the boot intact. The boots<br />
will never stretch in length. However, they will stretch and mold to the top of the feet,<br />
and will easily stretch in width if required. If the fit is initially tight <strong>on</strong> the top of your<br />
feet—be patient, it will stretch, or can be easily stretched by a cobbler.<br />
