The Blundstone #990 work and safety boots are packed with safety features including:
Broad fitting 200 Joule impact resistant Type 1 steel toe cap. Steel is the safest toe cap material available, providing the highest levels of resistance in constructed footwear against rolling side compression and cut resistance.
The outsole is heat resistant to temperatures up to at least 572°F. The soling material has a very high insulating value and can be expected to provide short term resistance to melting and cracks in temperatures in the highest ranges that are normally encountered in an industrial environment.
Premium leather is treated to provide extra water-resistant properties. Footwear with this symbol is particularly suitable for muddy conditions.
The soling material is resistant to most chemicals encountered in industrial situations underfoot.
The outsole provides slip-resistance through a combination of design, tread pattern and soling material.
