Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
These boots are water-resistant due to the leather material, but not fully waterproof. They can handle light rain or splashes, but prolonged exposure to water is not recommended.
How do I choose the right size?
Blundstone boots generally run true to size. It is recommended to refer to their specific sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible. The UK 4.5 is equivalent to a US Women's 6.5-7 or a US Men's 5.5-6.
Can I wear these boots in hot weather?
The leather upper and textile lining provide breathability, but they may feel warm in very hot climates. They are best suited for moderate weather conditions.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning is recommended every 3-6 months, or more often if the boots are exposed to harsh conditions or dry environments, to keep the leather supple.
What is the benefit of the SPS Shock Protection System?
The SPS system is designed to reduce skeletal shock on the feet, legs, and spine by absorbing impact during walking, thus enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue.
Can I replace the original insole?
Yes, a spare set of comfort inner soles is included with the boots, allowing you to replace the original insole for added comfort or to extend the boot's lifespan.
Are there other color options available?
This guide focuses on the Black Comfort Series boots. Blundstone offers various models and colors; please check the product catalog for other options.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight initially
This is common with new leather boots. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to stretch and mold to your feet. Using the included spare insoles might offer a slightly different fit.
Elastic side gores feel stiff
The elastic may need some time to loosen up. Gentle stretching or wearing the boots regularly should help them become more flexible.
Leather shows water spots
Allow the boots to dry naturally. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore the leather's appearance and condition.
Reduced cushioning after extended use
Replace the existing insole with the spare comfort inner sole provided. If further cushioning is needed, consider purchasing a specialized comfort insole.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth.
- Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking, use a good quality leather conditioner periodically. Apply sparingly and buff gently.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
