Thread: I need some new Blunstones.

I need some new Blunstones.
Both pairs I have are nearly smooth in the bottom.
Anyone know a good place in Melbourne South East that has a good selection? (Or a warehouse full of old made in Australia Blunstons?
) I need Size 5s. I went to one place that only had 2 pairs. One boot was OK! but the other three were weird.
My theory is that if I go to a big enough place I can ferret out 2 OK ones.
I know some people say Redbacks are better, but I feel they are a bit clumpy. Maybe I could try Rossi?I have a pair of steel caps as well. These are just for everyday wear.

I'm sure you could carve yourself a pair of clogs which would be infinitely more appropriate.

TL try a farmers shop like Elders, Landmark or one like that.
Have no idea where they are near you.
Google may be your friend.

You must have weirdly shaped feet TL. Blunnies are the worst things I evr tried to put on my feet.

Another Aussie product funded by taxpays $$$ and government incentive to go to China so come to expect two left feet, one size 6 one size 8, laces either to short or to long.

Try Wrights Work Wear (there is one in Hallam). They have a good selection of most of the major brands.

My autumn collection has an elegant line of ladies industrial footwear.
the "Black and Decker Underfoots" allow you to step out in style and safety
what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

My wife wears army boots
Well actually they're Rossi slip-ons.
She says they're very comfy once worn in.
She works as a cook and needs the oil resistant soles because the floors can get a bit slippery. They are tough, fairly light in weight, have good wear resistance and they're made in Australia.
I wear Japanese safety boots 90% of the time so what would I know?
Best wishes

My current 'work boots' are a pair of slip-on suede slippers, but when I did wear proper footwear, I virtually lived in Blundies.

My Blundstones have worn out after 10 years, and Payless (where I bought originally) no longer carry style 350, nor any other style in 6 1/2.
So, I emailed Blundstone, and the next day they gave me two local businesses who carry or can order the full range.
BTW, one of the FAQ's on their website is "Can I get my Blundstones resoled?"
My uppers are fine, just sole has worn out. Unfortunately, the soles are injected PU, and can't be resoled.
Cheers,
Andrew

Yes! I've read that too. B(&%$^! My second pair I bought for $15 from a market. I'm fairly sure they were resoled cos they came off very quickly.
Its all very well to order them on line, but the ones I tried on only had a 25% OK success rate. I want to go somewhere and get a good pair.anne-maria.
