Art to Boot charity fundraiser participants
For several years the Australian Boot Company ran a successful charity fundraiser called Art To Boot. The annual event featured artists and ad agency staff designing and creating their artistic interpretation of Blundstone boots. Each participant was given a pair of Blundstone boots to decorate. Proceeds of the Australian Boot Company Art To Boot event went to support Sketch.
This is the official Blundstone Bootmobile.
In 1996 we launched the first Australian Boot Company and Blundstone “Bootmobile”. An old Eaton’s delivery van was professionally painted orange and given the royal sticker treatment. The bootmobile was in service from 1996 to 2011. During the 15 years of service it made it from Vancouver to Toronto and back a couple of times and offered lots of fun for Australian Boot Company staff and customers. The Australian Boot Company’s Bootmobile can still be seen roaming the roads in British Columbia.
