Blundstone has launched the tough zip-sided #983 boot, offering a range of features. Available at selected retailers, the #983 provides underfoot protection with a lightweight, penetration-resistant insole. The lace-up design also provides ankle protection while the heavy-duty zip gives easy on, easy off convenience.

The #983 features a Crazy Horse water-resistant leather upper — a full nubuck leather that is buffed to achieve a smooth feel and finish. A wax is then applied to the surface, which provides a multi-tone, leaving a natural rustic finish. The boot also features a non-metallic penetration-resistant insole, which is typically manufactured from steel. However, the insole in the #983 is crafted using plasma-treated high-tenacity yarns. These insoles are capable of reducing punctures caused by small nails and other objects, and the use of non-metallic material in the insole allows for flexibility and comfort, due to its lightweight construction. As it can be sewn directly to the upper material, it enables protection to almost 100% of the surface of the sole.

The boot’s ergonomic fit and flexibility make it suitable for those who work in wrecking yards, construction sites and the recycling industry, as the penetration-resistant insole helps reduce the risk of sharp objects puncturing feet.
