Safety footwear expert, Blundstone, has rolled out its new elastic side safety boot featuring wheat nubuck leather, light weight and plenty of safety features.

“Our new #989 is a testament to our commitment of providing boots fit for every purpose,” said Global Work & Safety Range Manager, Adrian Blandford.

“Elastic sided boots are what we are famous for, and we know that the #989 will be a favourite of workers who are on the move.

“This boot is built for jumping in and out of machinery, putting the pedal to the metal and pull on kick off convenience. An elastic side boot offers great ankle articulation, and combined with our much-loved wheat nubuck leather, the #989 adds a new dimension to our range.”
