Best quote from the article:

“He also insists he’s not fussing when it comes to his own outfits, saying: “I’ve had these Australian black Blundstone boots, which are falling apart, since I was 20. What do I need 20 pairs of shoes for?”

Alright all you Blundstone wearing folks–it’s time to cash in on your Blundstone stories by entering the 2nd annual Your Boots contest.

The contest if pretty simple–just submit a really fantastic photo of your Blundstones and a few words about them and you could win a trip for two to Australia. Check out the website to see entries from this year (as well as last year) to see what you are up against. We want to see what your unique Blundstone experience is, however crazy or ordinary it may be!

The deadline for the contest is approaching quick, though. Your entries need to be submitted by June 30, 2010, so go for a walk in your Blunnies, get those creative juices flowing, and submit your Blundstone tale!

For years we have been carrying the CSA Greenpatch™ safety boot, a comfy no-laces alternative to the traditional lace-up safety boot. They have a slip resistant sole, safety toe cap and shank, and Deluxe Poron™ Footbeds.

They are loved by people in all lines of work–chances are you’ve eaten a meal prepared by someone who wore these in a restaurant kitchen or you’ve sat in a house built by a Blundstone-wearing builder.

Now there is a new kid on the block– the CSA Greenpatch™ in nubuck “Crazy Horse” leather. These puppies will wear in beautifully–when treated they turn a few shades darker or you can leave them alone and let the nubuck work in on its own. Don’t forget, the safety boots also come in black and brown, if nubuck isn’t your thing.

Check out this excerpt from the “Daily Telegraph” over in Australia:

“There’s a bit of the Aussie macho about Worthington – kind of Russell Crowe, before he got famous – as we sit at a table at his Sydney agent’s office.

In jeans, old T-shirt and well-worn Blundstone boots, there’s something refreshingly normal about the man. He doesn’t have the ego associated with being named one of Hollywood’s hottest young faces.”

I scoured far and wide to find some pictures of Sam in his Blundstones, and all I could find was an imdb link to the 2000 movie Bootmen where the main characters strap on some Blundstones to create a tap dance troupe.

Despite being an iconic Aussie Boot style, Blundstone has been making CSA Safety approved boots for the Canadian market since 2003.

Who could resist the comfort and durability of the legendary
Blundstones in a safety boot?

And for our American customers, who might not know what CSA
implies: CSA is the Canadian safety standard for work boots and safety boots throughout Canada.

It is comparable to ASTM or ANSI, except that CSA’s safety
standards usually exceed the standars outlines by ANSI or ASTM. We are
always more than happy to outline the specific details between CSA and
ASTM/ANSI.
