Attractiveness of Blundstone’s boots (1) “Waterproof materials and details as good as rain boots

The upper material of Brandstone’s representative models is oiled leather, which is cowhide leather soaked in plenty of oil. By soaking the leather with plenty of oil, its water-repelling effect is dramatically improved, and it is highly waterproof. In addition, the surface is also coated with a waterproof coating, making the upper extremely water-resistant. While most boots are made by sewing the upper and sole together, Brandstone’s boots use a special manufacturing method that integrally molds the upper and sole to prevent water from entering. Both the materials and details of these boots are designed to enhance waterproofness, making them highly functional boots with water resistance like rain boots.
