Thank you blundstone for 8 great years
Blundstone soles have been shit for years, they always wear through and collapse long before the rest of the boot gives out. Better picks are Mongrel and Steel Blue boots though there's no real bifl work boots

BIFL Redback boots question
I get roughly 5 years out of mine worn roughly 50 hours a week so they're not bifl but they're so comfortable. The only caveat is if you're kneeling a lot the toes have no scuff guard so get trashed. If kneeling a lot look at steelblue not quite as comfortable but very close

[BIFL Request] A work boot for ACTUALLY taking out on the field that doesn't look beauiful
> Doesn't seem to be a distributor to Canada yet. But damn, there sure are a buttload of retailers in AUS! Ah, that's a shame. Looks like there's [one distributor](http://travsoutfitter.com/search?q=steel+blue&search-button.x=0&search-button.y=0) for the whole of North America, might be worth an email? Otherwise, enquire to Steel Blue directly - they're very responsive and might be able to point you in the direction of someone who can ship from Australia. :-)

I don't suppose you can source [Steel Blue Boots](https://steelblue.com/) in North America? They're Australian-based, but make a variety of models that are comfortable, long-lasting and can be specced with (or without) the bump cap. Little bit of oil and polish, and they'll last you for years.
