Blundstone 500

Leather: A traditional natural material obtained by processing animal skins, valued in the shoe and haberdashery industry for its inimitable combination of durability, breathability and aesthetics. Thanks to its unique fibrous structure, the leather is able to adapt perfectly to the anatomy of the human body, ensuring high user comfort. It is a "living" material that breathes naturally, absorbs moisture and acquires a characteristic patina over time. Depending on the processing method (smooth leather, suede, nubuck), it offers different degrees of resistance to external influences and different surface textures.

System SPS Max Comfort: Blundstone technology, aimed at reducing fatigue and protecting the body from impact. The core material is XRD®, which absorbs up to 90% of the energy of shocks, especially in the heel and forefoot area. The system is complemented by a special PU/TPU outsole for stability and a moulded insole with arch support. Provides long-lasting comfort and protection when walking on hard surfaces.

Rubber: It is one of the most widely used materials for the production of soles due to its high mechanical resistance and durability. The main advantage of rubber soles is their excellent grip (traction) on different types of surfaces, which minimises the risk of slipping. The material is naturally flexible, waterproof and effectively absorbs shocks during walking. Depending on the compound, the rubber can be either soft for better contact with the ground or hard for maximum abrasion resistance on rough terrain.
