Whether you’re headed to the office or the outback, Blundstone 500s offer extraordinary comfort, timeless style, and they’re now more durable than ever!

Blundstone’s legendary 500 series boots are now made with TPU (thermo urethane) soles. The new TPU soles feature:

-Oil, acid and organic fat resistance
-Outsole temperature resistance up to 140 degrees C
-PORON® in the heel strike zone to increase shock protection
-An ergonomically engineered toe spring
-Steel shank to ensure correct step flex point
-The new Blundstone 500/510 are also made with even thicker leather to make sure your feet stay warm and dry no matter the weather.

How do you improve upon the classic, original Blundstone boot? Replace their already high quality, long-lasting, and rugged soles with an even more superior material. The new TPU-soled boots are guaranteed to impress with their temperature, oil, and acid resistance, long-term moisture resistance, and ergonomic design for maximum comfort.

We’ve just received a full container of 2012 Blundstone boots, including the all new TPU-soled 500 series, and beginning the second week of October, we will be selling ONLY the new 500 and 510. 

What are some benefits of the new soles?

The new TPU-soled Blundstones are even more durable, water resistant, long lasting, and comfortable than the classic Blundstone 500s you know and love. In an effort to continually improve upon their legendary boots, and uphold the highest standards of quality, Blundstone has upgraded to TPU soles to ensure the maximum lifespan of each boot they manufacture. TPU-soled Blundstones are also oil and acid resistant, are able to resist temperatures up to 140 degrees Celsius, and are highly resistant to hydolysis and microbial attack.

How can you tell the difference between non-TPU soled 500/510s and the new TPU soled 500/510s? 

Each pair of Blundstones has a manufacturing date clock molded into the sole. The month and year the boot was manufactured are indicated on the dial. If the center of the dial reads “11″, the boots were made in 2011 and have the new TPU sole. Blundstone 500/510s made prior to 2011 were constructed with the standard PU (polyurethane) sole.

The Blundstone 560 is a great winter boot. The first Blundstone to feature a full Thinsulate® liner, this boot is sure to keep your foot warm and comfortable. Based on the BL550, the 560 feature the same duel density PU/TPU sole, which allows for one of the lightest boots available. The BL560 comes in two options, the Comfort or the Fleece. The Comfort has the ultra comfortable BL490 insole, which feature two poron inserts for superb cushion and support. The Comfort BL560 is only available at Sugar River Outfitters, the number one retailer of Blundstone footwear. The fleece option comes with both the comfort insole and a fleece insole, which will have your feet thinking they are in your favorite slippers all day long. This slipper like insole is so warm and comfortable you may not want to take the boots off at the end of the day.

Exclusive to Sugar River Outfitters, the New Blundstone 410 coming in with two options. The 410 feature the traditional 2.5mm thick tough leather uppers and are meant to take a beating. Even the sole, which is an upgrade from the dual density PU to a PU mid-sole and TPU outer sole, is build to get you through any job site or down any road. If you are working hard or hardly working in the BL410 you can rest assured your foot will stay dry and comfortable with a Drylex liner to wick away any moisture from your foot and leather that has been treated with a water repellent to keep water out. The first option is the ultra comfortable BL490 insole, which feature two poron inserts for superb cushion and support. This option is therefore fittingly called the BL410C or Comfort. While the second option offers not only the BL490 insole, but also a fleece insole which will have your feet thinking they are in your favorite slippers all day long. This slipper like insole will ensure your feet will stay warm even in the coldest of weather. The only problem you may find is your slippers maybe not feel as comfortable anymore.

Blundstone USA and Sugar River Outfitters founders Terry and Poppy Fletcher were recently inducted into the Blundstone Hall of Fame. This honor was given to them for their activism in promoting the Blundstone brand and distributing Blundstone footwear.

The first distributors in the US Terry and Poppy worked hard to build the reputation of the traditional Australian boot in a tough US market. However, the over saturated footwear market proved difficult to receive placement in stores. The consumer demand for Blundstone’s grew and soon were contacting the distributor for direct sales. This led to the opening of Sugar River Outfitters in 1999 as an online retailer to help supplement store sales.

Sugar River Outfitters remains the #1 source for Blundstone footwear. SRO offers a unique point of view on the boots as many of the employees have been to the Blundstone factory and seen the boots being made. This helps make our sale team the most knowledgeable retail seller of Blundstone’s.

During the recent induction Terry and Poppy were the only Blundstone representatives inducted into the Hall of Fame outside of Australia.

IN THESE days of impatient consumers and instant gratification, it has become something of a fading tradition to have to “wear in” a pair of Blundstones, the hard-wearing Tasmanian work boot. 
Many farmers, tradies and other outside workers swear by the traditional 500 model boot and are only too willing to take the time (and blisters?) to get them into the comfort zone. But, as the fame of Blunnies spread, more city folk wanted to wear them and, well, who’s got the time to run-in a pair of boots? I’ve got jazzercise in 10 minutes.
So, in a bid to keep the 300 cobblers down in Hobart even busier, Blundstone has come up with the NEW 561, a boot for the modern, cashed-up, time-poor, soft-footed suburbanite consumer. And the designers seem to have hit the mark.
Same classical look of the iconic style 500, but with added glove-soft weathered oiled 2.5mm thick waterproof nubuck suede, a more flexible sole, a footbed with the gun shock absorbing material under the heel and — wait for it — kid leather lining. The queue starts here …
So confident is Blundstone, it has adopted a three-second rule for the new boot. That’s how long it will take most people to realise the boot is already comfortable and doesn’t need to be be worn in.

Testimonial
sent to Rossi Au from a Sugar River Outfitters’ Customer: 

I just wanted to let Rossi know how happy I am with their boots. I purchased my first pair of Rossi 900 Forbes about 1-year ago from Sugar River Outfitters. First off I have to say I have been a strong supporter of Australian made boots for about 10-years. I have owned 2-pairs of Blundstone, 3-pairs of Red backs and now my first pair of Rossi over this time period. I have liked all of my boots to date, but I have to say the Rossi boots have been the icing on the cake. I am an electrician and spend about 50% of my time in the office and the other in the field. I wear these boots everyday including weekends and I have never been more happy with the end product as I am with Rossi. I am very demanding and tough on my footwear and both for work and play. There is little that I have not done with my boots. No matter how scuffed or roughed up the leather gets on the toe area, a little beeswax leather treatment always cleans up and beautifies the leather. I guess what I am most impressed with is how well the soles of this shoe has held up with minimal to no wear over a year’s timeframe. I have opted to wear Super-feet aftermarket insoles with my boots as I have back problems and I have found these insoles to work with all of my shoes. I would recommend this boot over the other Australian made boots for anyone that is having difficulty deciding. In addition to being a quality boot they are very rugged and good looking. And I often get compliments and questions as to where I got them. I do not typically write a manufacturer or rate their products online so I think that is a testimonial in itself as to the quality of their
boots.

Thank you,

Hemple from Seattle, WA
