Blundstone Canvas Khaki

I’m a huge fan of comfortable footwear, and summer, so the Blundstone ad virtually called my name with the lines ‘Kick off the winter blues’ and ‘comfortable, lightweight, breathable footwear’. So I held my breath and ordered a pair.
The Blundstones are a truly lightweight canvas slip on boot. Unlike the canvas deck shoes of old, they are reinforced with a lightweight toe piece to help the shoe retain its shape, and a heel cup, which helps keep the shoe on your foot.
The sole is EVA with slices of rubber in the toe and heel for additional grip, helpful when walking around a wet boat deck. It comes with two insoles so you can make the shoe a half-size smaller if needed.
The double-layered canvas outer is cool, breathable and flexible, making this a great shoe for hours of driving on hot summer days. To backup the hot weather wear is an anti-bacterial, breathable, washable footbed. Actually two, to insure you get the best fit and give you the option of socks or no-socks - with the same fit either way.
Available for men and women in a variety of colours you’re likely to find one you like. Keep in mind the sizing is British so make sure you do the conversion if ordering on-line.
