Blundstone has expanded its selection of durable, premium boots with the launch of the #984 boot. It comes packed with features and a selection of colours for all the job requirements Monday to Friday as well as for off the tools.

With new research undertaken by Blundstone revealing that young workers are looking for colour variations in their safety footwear, Blundstone has released the #984 in a stone colour nubuck leather.

The #984 is an extension of the XFOOT rubber range, packed with all the safety and comfort benefits, built for the toughest environments. It comes with water-resistant nubuck leather, YKK heavy duty zip and thermal regulating bamboo lining for all-day breathability.

It also comes with electrical hazard resistance and a TPU bump cap for additional durability.

“The #984 is a new addition to our range, with all the best in class features you know and love from Blundstone. Packed with our premium safety and comfort features, we’ve wrapped up this new boot in a sleek, stone colour nubuck upper that discerning tradies will love,” Blundstone global work and safety range manager Adrian Blandford says.

“Suitable for almost all workplaces, the #984 is sure to join our best-selling #992 and #997 as the boot of choice in worksites, in mines and warehouses all over Australia.”

The footbed is an anti-bacterial, washable and breathable material while the steel shank ensures correct step flex point and assists with torsional stability. It also had a broad fitting 200-joule impact-resistant steel cap.
